Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[Rhun]

"Well, shall we proceed? Let's check these ruins and see what me may find." Korbryn draws his greatsword over his shoulder, and lowers the visor on his helmet. The dwarf seems most eager for combat.

 

[Voadam]

Miltiades pulls his sheperd's crook symbol out for easy acess as they prepare and asks the new elf "Ithiken, what magic do you command? I have no abjurations prepared to deal with a dragon's breath, though I have combat and healing magic ready should we confront, cultists, gnolls, undead, or dragon."

 

[stonegod]

The Kid looks down from his horse, and pulls it closer to a bit of mud. Casually, he points with one of his many knives. "Tracks. Looks human. So we got company ahead."

 

[DEFCON 1]

"Ithiken, what magic do you command? I have no abjurations prepared to deal with a dragon's breath, though I have combat and healing magic ready should we confront, cultists, gnolls, undead, or dragon."

Ithiken looks at him and nods. "I am proficient in most arcane magic that deals directly with the manipulation of eldritch force. I can move objects or people of various sizes, I can throw up protection and force barriers around myself and others, I can fire projectiles of force at others, and I can make people and things invisible by wrapping them in force cloaks."

He looks over at the moathouse and it makes him reach into his sleeves for a pair of wands.

"Please let me know when we are going to move in on that building... I have several force barriers I'll want to cover myself in. And if anyone is going to scout ahead... I am more than willing to make them unseen to the naked eye first."

 

[Voadam]

And if anyone is going to scout ahead... I am more than willing to make them unseen to the naked eye first."

Miltiades turns to the young soldier "Kid."

 

[stonegod]

Miltiades turns to the young soldier "Kid."

The Kid nods, and brings his horse over to the elf. "You want me all to do a sweep around and come back? What's the score?"

 

[DEFCON 1]

Ithiken turns his head and nods to his raven sitting on his shoulder. "Yerrn here can also do a flyby at the same time, Kid. He speaks Common so he can give you updates of what you might be coming upon if you'd like. And if you say the word, I'll make you disappear from sight."

 

[stonegod]

The Kid nods, pulls out a couple of daggers, and draws a rough map of the terrain. "I'll take a wide loop, keeping an eye out for trouble. Make sure that pet of yours keeps low---don't want anyone taking hunting practice. I'll report what I see."

Making sure everyone knows the plan, the Kid gestures widely to the elf. "Vanish me."

OCC: That the Kid's plan---make a sweep around, keeping his eye out for trails, back entrances, guards, etc. Will not get within 30' of the place unless he suspects he wouldn't be heard. Move silently and hiding even though he's invisible.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Yerrn launch himself to the air and circles the moathouse from above, after a couple of minutes he returns and lands on Ithiken's shoulder.
The air smell like a lizard master, the dragon is present but is hidden among the walls of the ruined keep, the court yard is over grown with weeds and grass.
In the meantime, the kid starts to circle the moathouse clockwise, the area includes dense reeds, shallow stinking mud pools, he stop half the way and returns after spotting nothing, circling from the other side he decides to return to the group, after traveling among thorny bushes, oleanders and dangerous quicksand.
It seems the only way in is the draw bridge.

Invisibility – 1 min. left.

 

[stonegod]

From behind the elf a voice speaks out. "Boo!" It is the voice of the Kid, and he is obviously getting a chuckle out of this. More seriously, however, he adds, "Drawbridge only way into that thing. If there is something there, it'll be waiting."
