Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 14807" data-attributes="member: 114">There isn’t time to mourn the loss of their friend, and the party help the passive Baron to his feet, and guide him down the stairs and to the front door. Opening the first set of gates they see two guards who are understandably surprised - Lysander’s attempt to bluff them fails because the guards know that Lysander is a wanted man with a price on his head - and Lysander and Crail find themselves engaged in combat by the halberd - wielding guardsmen. One of them manages to wind his alarm horn, despite Azrin’s attempt to knock it from his hand by casting his chakram - which ricochets madly around the tiny area but doesn’t injure anyone. One of the guardsmen is severely wounded and slumps down unconscious, but the other is threatening Crail severely so K’tan concentrates hard and launches a concussion - and the guardsman explodes in a gory heap (DMs note: I use concussion as a ranged touch attack - and he got a critical hit and rolled extremely well on the damage).Although a key to the front gates is quickly found, the sound of alert guards on the outside attempting to get through the portal is worrying - whether or not the party is able to deal with them, they are not willing to decimate the Barons guards who only think that they are doing their job.Azrin had prayed earlier that day for the ability to locate secret doors, and he now calls upon Asura to honour that prayer - and as he turns and scans the room, he sees a secret doorway hidden within the fireplace! Auriel protects herself from fire and then moves the logs and ashes out of the way and opens the door. Closing the door behind them they follow the narrow passage to a secret opening on the outer wall of the villa, and make their escape into the dark.They plan to meet at the Bell tower, and split up - Crail is to attempt to borrow some additional clothes from known supporters of the temple (to use as a disguise for the Baron if necessary), while the others travel home. On the way they spot and are spotted by another one of the Mendonnan assassins who escapes from them but starts trailing them. They decide not to return directly to the bell tower but to go to the temple and then use the secret tunnel they had made in the library to duck out...</blockquote>
