Planescape - Dead God Rising

[Nalfeshnee]

Tyrjon: No, if there was anything I would have mentioned it . One of the figures wears a breastplate, while the others are not wearing any noticeable armour under their clothing. One figure (the one with the breastplate) has a large scabbard by his side, though the others do not have any weapons you can see.

The room is relatively featureless (not dissimilar to the picture), though can see what looks to be a wooden trap toor in the far left corner of the room, beneath the skeletons.

Rubious 'The Dead Pact prevents me form attacking the undead creatures, but... I will do what I cn. Perhaps i can exert my influence upon them, prevent them from attacking.'

[sblock]OOC: Okay, so as I understand it, two of the humans look relatively harmless (no armor & no weapons & hopefully no obvious spell component pouches ), one cloaked (probable spellcaster) and one in a breastplate with a sword?

That doesn't sound so bad then, I don't think we'll need any spell support to take them out. We can open up with a (hopefully surprise) round of missile fire against the robed guy (priority #1), then the armored guy (priority #2). If Rubious can command the undead to at least stay out of the way, Tyrjon can move in with whoever wants to get into the melee to (hopefully) mop up. I'm thinking blocking the trap door by standing on it might be a good idea. Everyone else can hang back and make pincushions out of them with missile fire.

Sound like a plan?
Better ideas?[/sblock]

Tyrjon: that's right

“Of course, I can. A pair of them, at most, though. I could even summon one through the door and inside the room, to give them something to do, while we rush in. That should be a nice distraction, at least. Unfortunately, my minions won't be around for long, so I cannot summon them in advance.”

Noch the Shadowswyft

Noch bends down over the dead guard and grabs some pan pipes. He grins as he pretends to play them, then unslings his backpack, puts them inside, and takes off his crossbow and readies a bolt.

"Hang on Llyra..." Tyrjon whispers, now sizing up the opposition a little better... "On second thought this may not be such a tough one after all. Two o' these berks aren't even armed and not a single bow or crossbow among 'em. Better save th' spell power 'till we really need it. If Rubious can command those skeletons there, I think our opposition should be pretty light. Plug th' robed berk first, then the cutter in the breastplate..."

OOC: See my previous spoiler post for a rough battle plan...

Llyra

“Alright. I will only cast one spell against that one with the big blade, right before we open the door then. It will prevent his first attack, most likely. And it shouldn't alarm them.”


OOC: Casting Backbiter on the sword then, right before the door is opened (also has a few rounds duration only).

 

[Nalfeshnee]

OOC: the eye-slit in the door is open, so a bolt could be shot through it if that's any help

OOC: the eye-slit in the door is open, so a bolt could be shot through it if that's any help

OOC: Hmmm... yes, that could actually. If a couple of you want, you can use the door for cover, firing and taking 5ft steps (or just ducking) out of each other's way.

OOC: also, the pipes do provide some cover to the figures (look at the screenshot again ), so a ranged shot may be a bit more difficult than normal. But they should be flatfooted so that would cancel out
