Thrane strike force. RAIDERS OF AUNDAIR STAY OUT

[Eidalac]

I forget the name, but there is a specific Mark of Storm power you have to have (winds favor IIRC) to use the Wheel of Wind and Fire). I thought it was a least power, but it could well be a lesser. Not something any of us have at any rate.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

The Marshal has the least mark of storms, but you need the lesser, so we're back to charisma checks.

 

[Eidalac]

Tactic:
When we first go up, if there is a visible PC, wait a few moments - if they get close to a ledge, a bull-rush could make real quick work of them.

EDIT:
Maybe not. I was thinking falling damage was higher than it is (3d6 for 30', not likely to be fatal in and of itself to a PC of our level).

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Not likely. The tower's only 30' tall, 3d6 isn't going to finish off even a mage. Even assuming the airship it 20' further up, still not enough.

What's more, pushing someone over the edge will take them out of the Silence effect, ruining the whole stealth thing.

 

[Eidalac]

Damn, I'm too slow.

Just edited above once I checked falling damage.

Still, something to keep in mind once we get spotted if we just want to remove someone from battle for a bit.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Ooh, idea! Scroll of Locate object is only 150gp and so long as they haven't lined everything with lead will tell us where the coffins are. Can we spare 150gp from the party fund?

 

[Eidalac]

I'm down with that.

 

[Scurry]

A scroll or two of locate object is actually a sensible item to be carried by a team dispatched to intercept those coffins.

Anyway, Alestair is posted. After a bit of thought I've shifted gears to alchemy instead of poisons, which freed up a fair bit of gold - I've got 410 to burn or give to the good of the party. Maybe I'll get some scrolls, or if I can dip into the party fund a wand of faith healing would be rock. Actually, maybe the cleric should have one. Distributing healing isn't a bad idea at all, though.

And if you've bought a jillion alchemical items, I can probably take something between a half or two thirds off the price, depending on the DCs.

 

[Eidalac]

Hrm.

I've only got a noxious smokestick, 2 alchemists sparks, and 2 tanglefoot bags, so I doubt you can shave enough off to do anything with, but every little bit and all that.

 

[Dekana]

I could swap out Dispel Magic for Locate Object if you'd rather have that.
