nerdytenor's The Missing Warlock

[Arbanax]

[ooc do we take a vote or something...my one worry with scouting is not being able to feed back to you without giving ourselves away]

Rellek drew a deep breath and sighed, Friends several ways present themselves one thing is for sure I imagine that our presence is known. You recall the folk we saw leaving ahead of our skirmish on the road [sblock] (http://www.enworld.org/forum/4451063-post333.html [/sblock]

I fear that our foe has already put in place his forces, as he did with the barns containing the stones. Perhaps stealth as Todarr suggested with your immediate presence might be wise. Our only two advantages are that they know not whether their first attack succeeded, nor indeed which way we shall come from.

"I must admit that I was impressed by the fight back at the carts. It was...it was..." Joshua searches for a good description.

"It was shock and awe! That's what it was right enough. We went through those back there like through a goose. And perhaps we are being too careful, too timid. If necessary I could blast these nearest buildings with fire and see what pops out."

His manner becomes animated before settling down again. "Very well, that may be a bit too much, but you know what I mean. We need to get a move on."

"It seems certain that 'they' know about you, but we can't be sure if they know you have found me. It could be that dark elf fled to Greensfen to report to gods-knows-who, but he could have easily gone the other way as well. Hmm..." Mardrick seems lost in thought.

Unless anyone has any better ideas, should we make haste and just press forward with Karis and Rellek scouting a within sight a short distance ahead as Todarr suggested?

Assuming this is ok...

Rellek moved forward axes drawn in stopping to listen, look and watch the way ahead loose but ready for action. He began by taking the southern section as he circled in toward Mardrick's house.

For now let's wait for covaithe to get back after the weekend before hitting town.

[Arbanax]

good idea

 

[covaithe]

[sblock=ooc]I'm back, though a bit swamped. Let's trash this town! Er, I mean, quietly infiltrate it and perform our mission with minimal collateral damage. Yeah. That's it. [/sblock]

Karis shrugs. "I suppose it's just as likely that Captain Patience here," she elbows Rellek before continuing, "would fall off the roof and give us away. The direct route is probably good enough for these yokels. Come on."

Karis advances behind Rellek, shortsword at the ready, moving down the opposite side of the street from him, eyes peeled for movement.

Joshua strode into the middle of the street and waved graciously to Todarr and Moreen.

"Shall we dance?"

 

[nerdytenor]

"I will follow with my hood up, lest our enemies be alerted to my presence. Remember, they may not know I still live."

Mardrick sighs. "Well, I guess we better get this over with. Whatever happens, know that you have my eternal thanks. You have done more than I possibly could have hoped for. If you rescue Elloen I fear my debt to you may never be repaid..." Mardrick approaches each of you in turn and clasps your hands with some awkwardness.

"Right then, let's go," he says, with grim determination.

Anybody got a marching order in mind?

I think following what's been said already that its going to be Rellek and Karis out in front...I said I'd work around from the south so I guess Karis will take a sweep in from the North, after that it gets hazy. Guys...[/sblock]
