hehe, so any more foot-pinning with daggers before the winged messengers return?

OOC: I'm good thanks, let's hear from the birdies.

Hobgoblin Keep Intel

The Raven, Mike, and the eagle, Thel, return to their respective masters in a few short hours. Both Tylara and Xavier immediately start getting reports from them. After about half an hour of this, Xavier and Tylara are able to put together a reasonable semblance of a map of the keep from the reports.

Voila! (Okay, so there are a few doors-a very few-that wouldn't be visible from the air, but for convenience sake they are included anyway):

 

[Leif]

Munithel for Tylara

[sblock=Tylara, Thel tells you...]"PLEASE, PLEASE don't ever send me out with that SLOW raven again! I kept having to stop and build a nest while I waited for him to catch up, so there's a row of my nests all the way to the keep and back."[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

Mike for Xavier

[sblock=Xavier, Mike tells you...]"Criminy boss! Did you have to send me out with that hag Thel?? Gripe, gripe, gripe, that's all se ever does! It was one constant stream of bitching all the way there and all the way back. I kept trying to slow down so that maybe she would just go on ahead and leave me in peace, but NOOOOO!! Oh, Boss, the crap I take for you!"[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

Consoling her familiar for the hardships of the task, Tylara offers up some fresh meat from the kitchen. "Now did you see any hobgoblins? Were they alert? About how high were those walls?"

 

[Leif]

Munithel for Tylara

Thel says, "*Gulp*, *rend*, *gulp* we saw a few of the ugly dudes, one on top of each tower. The main wall is ten feet tall, and the towers are fourteen feet tall. The ugly dudes on the towers were pretty watchful. A couple of them even took shots at me with their bows. Heh heh heh as IF! I was kinda worried about Mike though, since he's soooo slow, but a few extra flashes of eagle feathers, and they couldn't have cared less about him!" Thel winks at Tylara.

OOC: As you've probably all noticed by now, I'm letting your familiars speak to you one level early. That just makes it easier for everybody, I think.

OOC: Thank you kind sir!

"You've done very well Thel." Tylara considers and then says to the others. "We need somebody who knows sleep to take up a nice long ladder, then someone else can cast invisibility on them and let them slip up to the wall, put a tower guard to sleep and put the invisible ladder in place. Then the rest of us can slip up to the ladder an onto the wall. If we could manage to scape up the resources to get the spells onto scrolls we'd be that much more effective once inside. Better get a couple of sleeps ready just to be sure the guard gets zonked. If we do it say an hour before dawn they shouldn't be able to see from one tower to the next with darkvision right? Does anybody know how far a Hobgoblin can see in the dark? What about the moon? What phase is it." Tylara hardly stops for breath tossing out ideas rapid fire as she considers the task at hand.

OOC: Thank you kind sir!
What about the moon? What phase is it.
