Recruiting: DT's Sword and Sorcery Campaign (BECMI/Wilderlands)

[Queenie]

We steal a wagon and horse, something that can be used to block retreat quickly after the wagon passes. The other three move obstacles (barrels, crates, whatever we can lay our hands on) into the road to block it. Their wagon arrives and cannot pass, Rovan casts sleep and takes out the driver and guards. If the sleep doesn't work for some reason we've got the wagon to block retreat. We kill resistors, take what we want and then leave.

It's a good plan.

I would probably block the road ahead with the wagon, and when they stop, the rest of us put out the crates and boxes behind them. It will be a lot harder to get a wagon into place then some crates. I think. lol

Otherwise sounds good! If we can find a spot that Rovan can see down the road he can signal us to when they are coming to they are ready and we can get our wagon into the street. I'm not sure how long we can block the road without causing suspicion.

and if we unhitch the stolen wagon from the horse, that will make it harder to move it out of the way. if we were to put the trash in front, they might be able tocrash right through. with the wagon in fron, less likely. all good points queeny.

so, hilmden with the stolen wagon and horse in front, Roven topside as look out ad arcane support, edvin, erin and quinn in back to move the crates and such (?) and lola in fornt with hilmden to do any thing from that direction(?)

how is tha tsounding all?

If we block the way forward with the wagon I think we can dispense with the crates and barrels. Thinking about it I've come to realize that it is difficult and slow to get a horse to move a wagon backwards. I don't think blocking the way behind is necessary.

 

[Scott DeWar]

hmmm. good point. simplicity again. good.

 

[Fenris]

All sounds good to me. Bring the cart out, stop them, sleep them, grab and go.

 

[Scott DeWar]

good! now where to find a cart to steal . . .

Ok, one last clarification. Once a wagon is grabbed, the group plans to have someone ride in front of the target wagon? Are you planning on driving the cart from the funeral parlor or to have everyone wait along the Street of Crafts?

 

[GlassEye]

I would guess we all wait at our ambush site. The only problem is if they change routes...

I'm not really understanding the question.

I think you are asking if we are jumping the wagon with the gems at the funeral parlor or somewhere else. I think the plan is that we block the road at the dark bend and jump them there.

Rovan will be up on a roof to signal us when he sees the wagon coming towards us. Our previously stolen wagon will already be in place at that point, I think.

Ok, got it Queenie. Well, unless there are any details someone would like to add, expect an update tonight. Maybe your characters should discuss stealing a wagon in IC.
