[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

[Bacter]

To Ilan:


Well, sir, I regret that you don't agree with me that a bird from the sky DOES see more than an ant on the ground. No offense to your superb tracking abilities of course. I am in the opinion that we must be well prepared, for I am not planning to be surprised by the minotaurs. So I will do the observation myself. I might be able to pick up some information, you can not obtain from the ground


He sighs and sais to Deepwinter:

If you agree with me, please let me become invisible, so I can circle the minotaur's lair unnoticed and hopefully gather some valuable information. I plan to circle the alledged minotaur lair only once or twice, so I will return immediately

If Deepwinter agrees, Diactum casts the spell "Fly" on himself at the place where we have stalled our horses (probably not too far from the minotaur's place). He is planning to fly at maximum speed to the minotaur's lair, circle a few times above it, picking up a maximum amount of information (numbers, locations, possible exits and entrances, anything) and immediately return and report to the party.

WULF SPEAKING:

OOC/Thank you kindly Mr. Minotaur, I knew you would be a reasonable man..er..bull..er man\bull. Here are your handcuffs, please put them on...

I take it everybody understands that these phrases have the function of mocking the plans of Goldsteel OOC/

Wulf says, reliefed::
Finally somebody who talks sense....let the wizard fly, I can accompany him if you want to since my boots grant me the ablility to fly.::

And then adressing Roland:

Sir, listen to your party, none of us really agrees with your approach. I bid you do not let your inspiring leadership turn into crude dictatorship!

OOC/ thanks for letting me use your account/OOC

In an impatient voice "And what if I may ask you Wulf has led you to the assumption that we are to follow my plan? If you would have paid attention instead of just dosing of on your horse, you might have picked up that we are to follow Sir Ilan's plan. He is to scout the area in search of the Minotaur habitat. As to leadership turning to dictatorship... Again if you would have paid ANY attention, you would have seen that I have followed Deepwinters lead all along, although I did not agree to his plans. You are obviously not capable of picking up anything and you are therefore moved to the middle of the marching order." Roland shouts to Tristan "Tristan I want you to cover the rear from now on with Deepwinter 7, as he seems to have quite some diverse skills. Sir Ilan and me will cover the front from now on. Apparently Wulf couldn't spot an Ettin if it were to sneak up to him from behind." Turning to Diactum irritated "As stated before we are NOT going to fly since that will blow our whole cover and flying invisible just seems silly to me. Since you made the parallel to a bird: since when do you posses the eyesight of a bird? For that matter, how are you going to find the Minotaur habitat? Or are your air scouting skills so superb that you can follow their tracks on the GROUND to their cave? And what if I may ask you would you do if you did find the cave? You will see no more than a 'mere' man on the ground. No in my opinion we are wasting enough time as is, so just let Sir Ilan do what he does best and leave flying to the birds..."

 

[Ilan]

OOC: Enough with the Ettin already

"Patrick, if you would join me then to scout out the area. By the way what was your view on the weird footprint we found. We'll be back in about two hours with the information we want. You can follow us slowly if you like and and make a halt when you're half a mile down the path. Is that ok by you, Roland."

 

[Sullaf]

"That is fine by me. Maybe you could take Tristan with you. He isn't the best scout, but his fighting skill may come in handy in case you are forced to engage battle. Mind you, that is not my intention. We will follow the three of you with about an half hour distance. If that's alright with the rest of the group?" and with a sarcastic tone Roland adds: "It seems my leadership has somewhat been questioned the last few days so I'm open to suggestions"

 

[takew]

"As I said before: “Two see more than one” and I would like to add to that statement that 3 pair of eyes see more than 2. So if Ilan has no problem with it, than I am most willing to go with the two rangers."

OOC: Mamma can I come to? Pleaaaasse?

 

[Ilan]

OOC: You can come otherwise I'm doing all the roleplaying, mabye a bit unfair to the others. Playing a fighter with combat skills and feats mabye isn't the best character for this kind of roleplaying, Tristan.

"Ok Tristan, but you can best stay back and be our backup when things go wrong, since I don't trust you , I say smiling, with another task. You might give away our position. It is difficult enough to sneak up on Minotaurs with only skilled scouts. Since Roland likes to have you with us, I'll accept this, but you listen to me and follow my commands. I don't want any mishaps from you. You understand. Ok then lets go."

...is the reason why I haven't posted in four days (read it, it is very amusing!).

Anyway, you seem to be doing fine. As soon as I hear the statemnet what everyone is doing exactly I'll continue.
