The Dance of Souls

[Xaov]

Absolutely banion you are welcome to use it.

*azaroth attempts to climb up next* "He seems like he'd succeed"

Azaroth will assist Banion with assisting others.

 

[SlagMortar]

OOC: A rope with a wall to brace against is DC 5. Beamer also climbs taking 10. His modifier is +0.

IC: Beamer says quietly, "Up we go." When he reaches the top says, "Thanks Banion."

 

[Knight Otu]

With everyone, including Gur, at the top, you get a good view of the interior area of the keep - a courtyard surrounding another, smaller building. The smaller building is connected with the outer wall with two passages. Doors that clearly were added later into the passages allow entry into the couryard, including a small area between the passages and the mountain that would otherwise be cut off entirely. A few torches illuminate the courtyard, revealing two guards on the courtyard.

(since I can't fire up PovRay at the moment, a crude code map of the interior area of the keep)

[SlagMortar]

OOC: We are on the top side of the map? Are the guards L and J, or the &'s? Where are the torches and do they illuminate the entire courtyard?

 

[Knight Otu]

(L and J are the wall corners. Don't ask why I forgot to add those corners in the inner wall. The &$& is the big gate. The . and / things are the mountain. The guards are patrolling over the courtyard. The torches are primarily on each side of any entrance, including the gate. While most of the courtyard is illuminated, a few corners remain shadowy. You are on the top left of the wall.
Muddled all clarities? )

 

[SlagMortar]

OOC: Thought of a couple more. Can Beamer tell what kind of armor the guards are wearing? Can he tell what race they are?

 

[Knight Otu]

One, propably male, is wearing leather and a small shield, armed with a warhammer, the other, propably female, is wearing splint mail, armed with a greatsword. They appear to be human or half-elven.

 

[SlagMortar]

Beamer quietly casts Mage Armor on himself and Azaroth. He whispers, "We can take down at least one before they realize what's happening. I don't think we can sneak passed them. We may have to just hope we can get them both. We should wait until the one in leather gets close." Beamer waits for agreement from his companions.

OOC: AC 19 for 2 hours. Wait until the lightly armored one is within 30 feet if possible.
Spells remaining:
0th: 6, 1st: 3

 

[Patlin]

Banion whispers "Are we going to try to take them by surprise from range? That is what we're all best suited for, but if one of them gets away it could be... embarassing. What's the plan?"

Banion's mindblade appears in his hand.

 

[SlagMortar]

"That's what I was thinking, any other ideas?"
