[QUOTE="mellored, post: 6707532, member: 6801209"] [b]Scy and Die (gnome in a box)[/b] [IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j23/poyodiablo/Before%20and%20After/garden_gnome_tragedy.jpg[/IMG] [i]Thanks poyodiablo for the pic.[/i] Generall Strategy. 1) Tell your party that you'll scout ahead, while you roll a stealth check (don't go in). 2) Free: Summon your spirit 20 squares ahead. 3) Move: Send your spirit 11 squares into the next room(s). * 4) Standard: Attack anyone your spirit can [u]see[/u] and remain hidden. 5) Make a Bluff check to avoid laughing to loud while monsters scramble to find the source of the damage. 6) Repeat 3-5 times (till you run out of rogue encounter powers) 7) Send allies charging in with Spirit of the Ram, use glaoming cut, or take a short rest. *Yes, the spirit will end because it's out of range, but only at the end of the turn, which gives us enough time to attack from it. Trojan Horse Strategy (thanks to monkey gentlemen) 1) Get in a box like this... ___ | | | [u]|g| [/u] 3) Have an ally who took training in basket weaving make it very pretty (perhps make it look like a seashell) 4) Have an ally who's trained in bluff give the box as a gift.* 5) Kill things, while staying safe in the box. 6) If they look in the box, chamelion and hide in plane sight will keep you safe. * Assistance of the Strong Spirit could carry the box.
