Melkior seems impressed, "Well I'm always glad to have back up, especially back up that's well informed." Melkior, ponders for a second, "Excuse me for asking, but you're a Derro from the deep right? If so you then what we should probably do is get rid of the artillery over there." He indicates behind the column, "Now at the moment I can't cast spells, but If I can touch the crossbowman, it's safe to say he won't be an issue. So here's the plan. You can create the darkness, don't worry these eyes don't use light anymore, so I'll be fine, but our friends over there won't. This should buy me enough time to take out the crossbow. Only thing is make absolutely sure you don't touch me at any point in time, so when you cast the darkness stay put, until I whistle. Then lead away, I'll take care off all the threats I can, but you'll have to be ready to either book it or fight if the orcs start grabbing either nets or torches since at the moment, those are my two weaknesses." Melkior pauses, "Hope you caught all that." He says with a tilt of his head and a smile.RPGguy wrote:Rahg'nuul lowers his head with an odd reverence. "I am Rahg'nuul, worshipper of 'The Deep Lich' and yes, I know of what you speak. I have a tome that undoubtedly connects to you in some way and will bear it further, should you wish, until we can free your bonds. The ghosted elves said your freedom was of grave significance and so I set out for you against difficult odds. I was promised rewards for aiding you but arrived too late it seems, and now I am injured. And so now I beg you for *your* aid in escaping this fortress"
[I reveal my blood-soaked shoulder to Melkior, remaining bowed]
"I know of secret passages out of here...and we must move to the throne room to access them, but I am yours to command and would follow your wisdom in the matter"
Remaining bowed, I take a knee. I reload my crossbow and lay it at Melkior's feet, waiting for his response...
You sneak away quickly and hide at the northern end of the building, just barely getting out of the way as Brutis and the drunk leave the building and begin heading south. While on the northern wall you come across a window that has a wooden shutter that has become slightly warped from the passing seasons. This warping has made it so you can get a small glimpse of the inside of the townhouse. You can't make out much aside from that the little girl is still inside the building. You overhear the rounder man say one last thing before leaving with his daughter, "By the way Lady Farnesse, what happens when your the last one left. Your day is coming..."kozeph wrote:I quickly but as silently as I can get away from the door and go for one of the corners in the building and take cover and hide and ready my new crossbow, if only the villigers come out with the little child I hold my fire and wait for them to leave and look for an open window to sneak in, If they spot me I press my fingers against my lip and wave at them for us to talk, if they prove hostile then I fire a bolt at the closest one. If I do not spot an open window then I trail after them in hopes of them heading for the tavern.
move silently 10+3=13
hide 14+3=17
if im not spoted then:
if needed to get on a window (climb 7+3=10)
search 12+2=14
if attacked then
Iniciative 1d20=13 (dont know if I get a bonus)
attack 10+3=13
damage 1d8=5
DM: if I have a bonus due to the circunstanse then please add it
A pause and shuffling.
"-let him go... You're walking on thin ice Gepetta. Get out of here before I kill you myself.", says the woman. The man and his daughter leave the building using the western door like the men before them did. You might be able to flag down the man and his daughter at this time... however if you act quickly you could easily sneak around to the eastern side of the building and stab the cultists from behind since they are close to those windows. The slit you are peering though is far to small and awkward to fire your crossbow directly if you wanted to do that, you'll need to open the blinds, and fire in."
