The Banewarrens

Morden tells the others of their appointment with Nicalon tomorrow at dusk. According to Nicalon, the item will be located in the vaults. Nicalon was once a captive in the Vladaam slave cells, hidden beneath the house library. The house vaults are located nearby. Nicalon has offered his aid to help us break in to the estate and take the key. Further, Nicalon has studied their guard patterns and their defenses and believes that he can get a handful of people in without raising an alarm.

Morden adds that his trusts the words of Nicalon and that such a boon, no matter the risk, should be accepted for now. After all, they have little other choice on their own. Morden looks to Malikar to confirm his judgment.

According to my sources, Hammerhead is away until Friday, so Malikar may not respond right away.

In the interests of moving along, it would be nice to hear an aye or nay from each character about the following proposals:

1. Fallon and Verakka entering the estate early in the guise of servants.
2. Accepting Jevicca Norr's offer of further employment.
3. Infiltrating the estate with Nicalon.
   [/list=1]They don't appear to be mutually exclusive, so feel free to say aye to all if so inclined. It would probably be good to comment on the specifics of Verakka's proposal (invisible Krug, divinations from Dyrnas, clearing guards, etc).
   
   I'll resume the action tomorrow around this time.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Aye to all.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Damn extra posts!

 

[Uriel]

Aye to all.

 

[Keia]

Titus doesn't have a problem with any of the suggestions. He agrees with all of them. Verraka's plan seems sound as well.

Morden speaks up in regards to Verakka's suggestion. "I think that we should go with Nicalon. Though Fallon and you are skilled, I believe that someone with more intelligence--as in information--will serve as a better guide than blindly infiltrating the House of Vladaam. Of course, I have no problem with Jevicca Norr's employment, as long as we can be sure of her group's good intentions."

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Majority opinion of those responding favors all three options. DM fast forward - engage! Time sequence splitting!

--------------------------------------

Folo and Bono arrive at the Vladaam estate in the afternoon. A guard approaches the gate from the guard house and asks their business. When he hears their names, he asks to see their papers.

You have some leeway here since I rushed the story.
--------------------------------------

Later that evening Krug, Malikar, Morden, Titus, and Dyrnas meet Nicalon at the Griffon. He is clad in leather armor with a buckler, carries a longsword at his waist, a longbow on his back, and a potion belt across the chest. He conceals the weapons beneath a deep blue cape.

Folo hands the guard the "papers" they secured (somehow) and he and Bono follow the guard inside. at a convenient time Fallon will drop Bilbo on the floor and with it's legs it will search for a way down stairs.

 

[Krug]

"Well I suppose I'm to be invisible today," says Krug. "I'd like that!" he smiles broadly.
