Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC01

[Scott DeWar]

"An interesting situation. Perhaps we should get some more information from Lord Kyle? Would he be happy to see the hobgoblins as employees to man the keep for him? It might be a tough sell for the Hobgoblins given that they already have the keep. Perhaps we could somehow trick them into attacking one of the other dangerous creatures we've heard about in the valley? I wonder if there is a market for Hobgoblin warrior statues? Perhaps we could lure them into the underdark on a quest for some great treasure and then take the keep from those they leave behind?"

"They are evil and not to be trusted, I am told. as for statues..."

An evil grin grows on his face that matches his mischiviouls glint in his eye perfectly.

" I doubt they would give up the sovernty of their steak in the keep to work as vassels for Lord Kyle, although they might accept him as their vassel and they would gladly extract tribute from him. That is why I do not see them as being able to accept a peaceful resolution to their leaving. Only a battle of might vs right. We being wizards and not battle hardened warriors i would say we need to use any and all trickery possible."

"I am not the best stealth person, but i am skilled in it.

 

[Scotley]

"I fear subtlety has never been my style, but perhaps I could learn invisibility? I think we will have to use force to oust the hobgoblins, but I am willing to try another approach if you can come up with a sound plan."

Kerlan

"I propose that Tylara use her eagle and Xavier use his raven to fly over to the keep and scout out the area. What do you think? If it's acceptable you can send them off now."

 

[Scotley]

"Agreed then." Tylara consults with her familiar/companion. "Now stay well up and avoid arrows. I'll be most cross if some hobgoblin decides he wants Eagle on a stick for dinner and you oblige him."

 

[Leif]

"Brawwwk, NO eagle kabobs, Boss!"

And the eagle takes wing and is soon out of sight.

 

[renau1g]

Xavier will follow suit with his companion, instructing Mike to keep close to the eagle and avoid getting seen. Ensuring that it's dark outside to help camouflage the raven, Xavier sends him out into the night.

 

[Leif]

The two birds fly off to the north and are soon lost to sight.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Capizzio will impatiently await news from the familiars, his foot tapping the floor nervously ...

tap tap tap tap tap tap...

 

[Scotley]

Tylara returns to her spellbooks to consider her options, but the tapping of Capizzio's toe proves an annoying distraction. "Confound you Capizzio, if that toe taps once more I'll see if I can pin it to the floor with a dagger." She places a hand on the hilt of a dagger for emphasis.
