"Change of plans, lads," he croaks, and glances back at Lorelei. They share a look. The bird dips his head, and tilts his gaze toward the lady captain.Lorelei grins her assent, understanding. "Come come, boy. Time for we to make some noise, oui?" she says, clapping Magnussen on the shoulder, before rushing back up the stairs one more time in a cloud of green fabric. The kobold mutters in Norwegian, but follows, pistol in hand.Caillou turns back to the boarded window, eyeing D'avard as the man stalks up the hill. Holding up one arm beside his head, the so-called Tengu King plucks a tiny roll of parchment from a hole in the hem of his coatsleeve. He crushes it between his fingers, releasing its power, enjoining the spirits of the dead to do his will this one final time.Invisibly they rush over the dark grass to D'avard and the man nearest him, reaching out with crabbed and spectral fingers. Two dead hands reach out for two more soon to join their number....If they hadn't already, Caillou muses.[ooc]Hey, undead are a specialty of the house. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> The vengeful dead coming after Caillou isn't completely out of the question. Casting chill touch with the intention of finding out. Death domain's Reaper feature lets me target two creatures if they're within 5 feet of each other-- it did sound like D'avard and his men were spreading out, so if there's no second target in range, assume the second attack unceremoniously fizzles/fades out.Before I roll, does attacking through the boarded window impose disadvantage? I'm willing to suffer it if it does, but I don't want to roll four times without asking. Seems like that could be open to abuse.On a hit I'd also like to roll Insight, or possibly Perception or Religion, whatever would be appropriate to detect the effect of the spell, as it does affect the undead differently.As for my retainers: I'd like to have Lorelei and Verner snipe from the second floor window, but they fight defensively and don't stick their necks out if they can help it. I'm not sure how they'd be armed, apart from Verner having Caillou's pistol.Gunner Teague will back up Katerina as best he can, so his actions will depend on hers.[/ooc]</blockquote>
