Luthiel Faradar Elven Rogue1

"I don't have anything to help us get into the tower," says Luthiel, relaxing a bit now that they are planning it out. "But I do have something that might help us out a little bit once we get inside."

He turns and rummages in his backpack for a moment, then turns around, holding aloft a dull black stone. "Here it is. I've heard that these things can be very helpful if you have to battle spellcasters. It's a thunderstone. If I throw it at him at him before we kill him, it will have a chance of deafening him, which can seriously alter his ability to cast spells."

He turns and looks at Garrit and Cryndo for a second. Then he turns back to Devlin and says "We are going to kill them, aren't we? Let's just do it quick and clean, no fuss." Now the elf isn't trying to be a tough guy anymore. He's being dead serious.

"Killin' might not be necessary right away. I'd say that laying hand on both the wizard and the boy might do the trick. I'm still not sure which one is the real threat there."

"The Master was very clear. We must kill both of them,"

 

[Dungannon]

Devlin turns and stares Luthiel in the eye, "I am not going to kill our current employer, a sorcerer of unknown talent, without trying to get some information from him just because an ancient elf druid tells me to. The plan is going to be to get in the tower and incapacitate those two so we can try to get some questions answered and hopefully finally get a clue as to what in the hells is going on around here. If I can't trust you to follow the plan, then you are of no use to me and I will leave you here."

Devlin then moves his gaze to each of the other members of the group, "Does anyone else want to make a suggestion or comment about the plan? If so, I'm listening."

[sblock]ooc: not sure if it's something you'd use for this situation Rae, but Devlin has Intimidate +6.[/sblock]

Malen gives a little shrug, "We've got to assume that we're being watched right now, maybe even magically. That's got to play into it."

There is no reply from Luthiel.

[sblock]Generally speaking, I don't allow PCs to intimidate or 'diplomacize' other PCs with a roll. Though Devlin's speech may do well to silence any doubts that the other PCs (being NPCed by me) currently have.[/sblock]

Devlin Magruder, human rogue 3

Devlin checks his rapier, crossbow and dagger. "Well, if nobody has a way to get us in through the top, then it looks like we're going in through the front door. Let's get this over with."

Devlin then gives the party a final look and turns and starts off toward the tower.

Luthiel stalks off after Devlin, his mind boiling with a flurry of thoughts that he cannot control. He wishes there was more time to figure out what to do, but he follows anyway. However, he does keep his thunderstone palmed, just in case.

[sblock=OOC]Luthiel's Sleight of Hand modifier is +7[/sblock]
