Q'Barra: Facing Truth Chapter 2

Charles, in Dwarven: Let them go? 'fraid I don't think that's a good idea. We have enough evidence to hang these men... and I don't mean upside down from a tree. Let's knock them out or poison them.

He scratches the right side of his face. In Dwarven again: Let's not forget we were asked to keep an eye out for these bandits. Letting them go free would be a crime.

"Knock them out, hobble them, or whatever. If we are staying to rescue those prisoners, we don't have a lot of options. Also, where can we keep them where they won't be found, short of leaving the complex again? I'm not one to advocate their release under normal circumstances, but we're pressed for time."
 

Sepoto considers the back and forth discussion in Dwarven, sensing that his companions are arguing over the fate of the bandits. He looks the pair over for a moment, as if judging them.

In Common:

"Sepoto can bind them. We have rope enough. This, with a gag will keep these men out of the coming fight until we can return this way."


In Draconic, to Catherine:

"These men still pose a danger to us Captain-Catherine...Charles speaks truth, their words are the lying whispers of snakes, the words of men begging for their lives. They do fear their leader, but this is not in our favor, they fear him enough to rally should he come across them before we are finished here. Should another patrol find them, they are then two more foes to face again. Friend-Charles' poison in addition to the bindings will keep them from trouble, it is our only choice, given the time we have left before our arrival is noticed."
 

Kaelan 33/36hp 3DR remain, 2 hp healed

As Sepoto ties up the prisoners, Kaelan speaks in dwarven. "We need to knock them out, expenditure of our foes healing may delay them so we don't have to face them all at once, if they wake up at all. If anybody comes around to heal them at all that is." Kaelan puts his dagger and alchemist's fire within easy reach, and pulls out his scimitar, hitting each bandit on the temple with the flat of his blade trying to knock them out. After the bandits are out Kaelan continues in common. "In order to minimize losses when he fight the leader and his friends we should plan out who each of us face. Here are my thoughts: Charles, Trebuchet and I will fight the lizardman. Charles and I have fought them before and know how to hurt them. The creatures have skin as thick as armor; if this one wears armor sturdier than Darrick and Catherine's and it uses a shield, it's defenses will be hard to penetrate with weapons. Treb can use his spells to hurt it a lot, it probably won't be able to dodge things well, so spells that only have to touch it will be best. That is the same reason I suggest using alchemist fire, the oil will soak between the plates and sear the flesh beneath. Darrick is the most heavily armored of all of us, he should face the halfling, his armor should stand up to his blows. Catherine, I would like to see you fight the shaman, the Children of Winter nearly killed both of us last time with their incantations, you would be best by trying to interrupt any casting it does. Sepoto can chip in as needed."At the end of his speech Kaelan hands the alchemist's fire to Charles. "I think you can hurt it more than I can with this."
[sblock=ooc]Anybody else have thoughts on this? Feel free to interrupt my knocking out of the prisoners if thought necessary. If anybody else has alchemist's fire, either of the heavily armored foes would be best hit by it. Actually, I'll give the alchemist's fire to BRP2, he can get skirmish with it and do more damage than me. Sound good?[/sblock]
 

"An excellent plan!" Trebuchet agrees enthusiastically. "I have several evocations that should prove perfect for the task! The lizardman will not even suffice for the making of luggage when our task is complete!"
 

Darrick sighs, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "It's never easy, is it?

"Kaelan's plan seems sound to me; at the very least, a halfling should have a difficult time hitting my poor arm! And if we can pinpoint the location of our foes, we can prepare before we attack."
 

Charles slowly accepts the vial of fire. He looks at it with an appraising look, with a smirk only an alchemist would own. Then he fumbles it jokingly. Got ya, didn't I? He looks around to see if anyone appreciates his joke.

Uh, right... the plan. Hmmm... it sounds good, if not too good. It would be disappointing if they dropped as quickly as these fellas' did.

He takes a breath and stows away the vial as he continues to speak.

If you want me to light them like a fireplace using this... I'll try my best.

[sblock]There is a slight chance of my net going down for the net 3 days... onl a small chance. I just wanted to point that out.

Also, for the next battle, I would advise others to make more use of Action Points than we have been[/sblock]
 

[sblock=OOC]I'm having a bit of a rough time right now, so I may not be able to post anything for the next couple of days. I'm sorry guys, I know we had some good momentum going. I'll be back as soon as I possibly can![/sblock]

[sblock=Pebele]No problem, but I've got to say I'm enjoying this "dungeon". We can do some IC stuff while you are gone.[/sblock]


"The mercenary brothers have me worried as well, the way they are described as fighting, reminds me of my people. I do not want to fight my brothers."

"Good, I am glad the plans sounds appropriate, we shall execute it, with our Captain's permission of course."

[sblock=ooc]Sorry about my late and or less frequent postings the last couple weeks. I've been working many a twelve hour days. Luckily, my job has lots of idle time so I can think about possible options in these games; thus all the planning. On another note, Shayuri's posts have made me laugh out loud the last few times.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=OOC]I am also very busy with work. I may need a day or two to get myself back to posting again as well. Sorry.[/sblock]
