How many archers are there? Does the stairway curve? That is, could some people wait on the stairs at some point or will they be visible to the archers as soon as they start up the stairs?

 

[Thanee]

Too bad, the invisibility would have been helpful now.

I was thinking I could sneak attack one of the archers, with you all waiting as close as possible and then running up as soon as I'm visible again.

Clearly Lenya needs to learn the gift of invisibility so Kerwyn can keep borrowing it

 

[Thanee]

Can't be that long until he gets 2nd level spells, or can it?

Sabotaging the vats would probably be useful, not sure how or if it could be done, tho.

Anyways, how far away are the archers from the group, so we have an idea how long it would take til reinforcements could arrive?

Well, next level, but he only gets one of 'em per day, so unless Lylamwyn or Belaver is willing to sacrifice spell power, it isn't going to be even close to the usefulness of the wand.

Only Toriah can see how many archers there are. Toriah sees a crowd of 8 to 15 orcs at the top of the stairs. At least half a dozen are armed with bows and shooting arrows down the stairwell.

Most of the orcs are in a room off of the stairwell and out of sight of anyone on the stairs. Likewise, most of the vats of boiling oil are actually in the room, but close enough to the stairs to dump their contents down the stairs.

The stairwell curves a little bit, so people on the bottom can't quite see the top. The stairwell looks to be about sixty feet in length.

As an FYI I'll be out of town on vacation (and at least mostly offilne) from Saturday 10/1 through Sunday 10/9. Feel free to NPC Raner while I'm gone.
