W2: The Search For Tomas Quinn (Rae Judging)

[Solange]

"To split up puts us in more danger unless it is for some of us to hang back while some people quietly try to sneak in 'n find out something. If the 'lilies come in force, it'd be like stray sheep to the wolves." Solange says.

Perhaps we could just ask one of the guards what we want to know. Who knows he may need a friend and be in the mood for talk. Cepheus replies with a bit of a smile that would hint to some mischief.

ooc: he has a scroll that may help or backfire, although he doesn't think of the negative.

 

[Corwyn]

"That could be useful, fighting while always fun isn't the safest of pastimes." Aiken answers Cepheus.

"Hmmm...ist true. ve divide them ist best, not zem us... Solanch, you sprechen veer. If vee haf sneaks enter balcony furst and find out lay of home, zen create havok drawing away door gardts then zee rest uf us attack zen in pincher manufer.

Cepheus, may be you haf magic to make straat gardt attack door gardt like goblin vich make me strike Hukk, Ja?"

As he mentions himstrikein Hukk, his hand absently drifts to a cutlass with a shell shaped hilt guard.

It is not so powerful as that, but will make the guard think I am his friend. As soon as he is threatened the spell will end, and it is not so powerfull to make him attack his friends. Cepheus pats the big guy on the arm. Hitting Hukk was not your doing but that evil witch goblin.

I love PC plan-making. One of my favourite parts as a GM - to sit back, and watch my group make battle plans. So, I'll cut in with some information:

1) The house is probably not big enough to have huge hallways - if there was a fight indoors, you think they could only come at you one, or at more two, at a time.
2) The streets are not always crowded, but they're crowded enough that a fight would draw notice. God knows how fast the guard is in responding to threats.
3) Climbing to the balcony is fairly easy - there are ledges from the nearby window to climb, as well as a fair bit of ivy that has crawled up one of the support beams. In game terms, it'd be a DC 12 climb check to get there - and unless you fail to hit DC 3, there's no penalty for falling (if you do fail, it's 1d6 nonlethal damage - at worst, you're falling a little more than ten feet, feet first).
4) Pendrake notices that the bars on those ground-floor windows are strong, but not THAT strong. They're made of iron, and iron can bend fairly easily if one is strong enough. Of course, they're all in open view.
5) The guards don't often come within view of one another, so picking 'em off one at a time is an option.

ooc: In the light of new information

Perhaps we take care of the guards quietly as possible then enter the building either balcony or through ground floor window - provided we can bend the bars enough without too much noise. 2 groups or one?

 

[Corwyn]

"Indeed we could take one with your magic, and ask him questions. If that fails we will have to take him down fast. I'll try to sneak up on behind him and be there in case of eventualities."

Hide and Move Silently (1d20 8=19, 1d20 8=13)

Aiken will move after first contact is made hopefully the guard will be distracted by the rest of the gang.

Yes I think you are right, 2 groups would be best. I dont think we should split up any more than that though unless we leave a group to guard our escape. I certainly would not want to be left behind.
