Thrane strike force. RAIDERS OF AUNDAIR STAY OUT

[Eidalac]

Complete Adventurer, pg 153.

Hurray for Google.

 

[Eidalac]

Oh, we may want to get some scrolls of Iron Silence (ComAdv, 153; 2nd level bard/cleric).

Negates the armor check penalty to hide & move silently for 1 hour/level.

I want in on this, hehehe... I was one of those that became disinterested in the original game because the deluge of portrayals of Thrane as a bunch of villainous zealot psychos. So, the opportunity to be one of them is certainly appealing. I may need some help building the character though because my books are at Home and I am over five hours away at university.

Specifically, I need the info for Dragonmark Heir and the Mark of Storm. This is a work in progress.

I may need some help building the character though because my books are at Home and I am over five hours away at university.

I'm more than willing to help. I got all my books less than three feet from me Just ask whatever questions ya got.

I wish we could just fireball the airship and assault from the ground floor while the team is busy with that, but I don't think any of us have that spell. Instead that Disguise Self spell intrigues me... We could have Nac Mac knock on the front door disguised as a bruised child ("Gnolls attacked my family's wagon just over that hill! Please help us! I promise you some of our treasures if you save them!"), and run out of sight before the PC's can react. Invisibility, come back to our group, and then we walk right in when the do-gooders run off to save the day.

Of course that relies a lot on Nac Mac's disguise not being blown, but it's just an idea. If it worked, we might have enough time to take out the coffins without a fight. Or if not enough time, we could fortify the tower ourselves, and ambush the PC's when they came back.

Unless we can get the PC's out of the tower, we pretty much HAVE to fight them - we can't likely hijack the ship, and the coffins are too heavy to fly out. So we have to take them out through the tower, which someone is going to notice.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

OK, so I am looking for a scroll of Silence (2nd) and Alarm (1rst), Expeditious Retreat (1rst), Grease (1rst), and Cure Light Wounds (1rst).

At 75% that should net me 149.982 or 150 for short.

I only have Silence and Expeditious Retreat in my spellbook so I'll make those for you (75% of 175gp is 131.25gp). The rest you're on your own for.

Zurai has it totally right: We want to stick together WHENEVER possible. We should assume that they PCs will detect us - hell, they might even have traps set up, magical or otherwise. That means we assume that we're going to end up in a fight. The bottom line is: PCs are paranoid. These PCs doubly so, because there's a thread they can't look in.

Priority-wise, I think Zurai's got it about right. I'm going to try opening up with Phantasmal Assailants on a healer if I think I can swing it. If they fail the DC 21 will save to disbelieve then it's 8 points each of Wisdom and Dex damage, fort half (also DC 21), which will seriously crimp any healer's style. If after that enough people have started to get into rage of the softer targets, I'll start popping Mass Snake's Speeds.

Oops, guess I will have to change it to Marshall 5 later. Favoured in House does not mesh with my character concept.
