Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Malvoisin]

Players,

In the next IC post, I'll go ahead and presume the party is going to follow up on Bael's suggestion, and head back to the Vanderboren estate, unless anyone has other ideas In-Character.

I think we'll have to store our Penkus 'package' (wrapped in something) elsewhere. Don't want to upset the lady's sensibility.

Oh! You're bringing the corpse out with you?

Gross! I assumed you'd be coming back for the 'interrogation'...assuming you find the resources.

Col would rather not have to come back. Anyway, what's a bloated corpse between friends (and by between friends I mean someone else 'cuz Col ain't carrying it. )

Kalen's only got an 8 strength, he won't be carrying more than a bag of gems, a wand, a potion or two.

Did I mention the swollen, blackened, diseased, odiferous flesh that looks like it might burst like a putrid melon at any moment?

But hey, if you guys want to drag the thing through tunnels and pools of water and up the shaft, and row it back across the bay into the city, and take it to Lavinia's estate (or, try to find some other unobtrusive place to stash it), more power to ya!

The alternative is to chop his head off and hope its still enough for a speak w/ dead which a DM-by-DM ruling.

Nah, you'll need the whole body.

I'm not saying you can't take Penkus' body out, just that there may be consequences for handling it too much. I'd want to know precisely who is lugging the thing, and how it's wrapped, etc.

Mal: If you have Complete Scoundrel, you should check out the Malconvoker PrC. Sounds just like Col.

Others+Mal: It'll be at least 150 gp to find a 5th level (minimum) caster to cast speak w/ dead on Penkus if folks want to go that route. I think the Gather Info/Speak w/ Dead/disguise self trinity will work well for infiltration. Other thoughts/directions?

If we decide to move Penkus, Col would suggest using sailcloth if any was stored in the boat or down below and try to mock-up something to float the body (and loot) across (lots of planks for an impromptu raft?)

I don't want to seem to be monopolizing ideas, so any other suggestions welcome!

A scroll of floating disc would possibly work as well, though it's have to be at least 2nd CL depending on Penkus' weight. Not as cheap.
