So any of us able to pick a lock....? I think Klaus should learn to do it as he basically is the "thief" of the group.

Julian.

and he can kill ghosts.

[Fandir Nightshade]

But lazy Dwarves as usual let the humies do the work.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Well, I'm done getting Max wounded, onward with our adventure. Shall we send Heinrich the stealthy one forward to scout the room and signal to us to come up?

I should have just stuck to the doorway instead of exploring. At least we have an escape route now.

[rufus sparkfire]

If Ulrun concentrates for one minute, he can detect nearby wizards with his 'magical awareness' skill.


p.s. it's not Admund's fault that Max is clumsy.

[commandant]

What should I call the thing that the Doktor gave Mortus to help her against the ghost.

[Fandir Nightshade]

So shall Heinrich and Klaus investigate or do you think we should get the rest down there too? What say you Karl?

[rufus sparkfire]

Wraith token? Ghost pass? Whatever.


Also, I don't think Mortus listened to the doktor's advice. Locating Hess is one thing, but 'find out anything about gangs connected to magic' is too vague.

I don't understand why she wants to do that anyway. She seems to have misunderstood what the doktor told her about the cultists.

Itwould probably be best if you and Heinrich scouted. I'm not that sneaky in all my armor. I can protect squishy Max and Ulrun. Let's say you scout within eye sight of us and signal the "all clear" or for help.

[rufus sparkfire]

Let's say you scout within eye sight of us and signal the "all clear" or for help.

If you stay behind in the first room, they can't see you from the room with three doors. It's down a lot of steps.

I understood what the doktor told her to mean that some of the criminal gangs were fronts for the cult.   It is possible that her orders to the spirit were too vague.   I'll go back and re-read what the doktor told her to see if there are any other clues there which I missed.

Well I guess Klaus and Heinrich will scout ahead that they are still within hearing and maybe even sight of the others...in case of the stairs Klaus and Heinrich will move down half the steps Klaus will go back and signal the others to follow....then continue with Heinrich to the room go back and signal that the rest shall follow that they are within sight of Klaus and Heinrich then enter the room and check the inscriptions...then most likely get Max to read what is standing there.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Ok, didn't read close enough. I think us non-sneaky people will wait out of site at the archway that was formerly sealed for Klaus and Heinrich to clear the room. Once it's determined to be empty, we'll all enter and go from there.

I have the strange feeling that there might be a trap!

[Mogsam]

[commandant]

I think Mortus' orders are more reasonable now and in line with what she knows.

[Mogsam]

Hmm, fighting might be tricky! Ulrun can only cast three spells at the moment, make things glow. Pretend to be someone else or pretend to do something whilst stabbing someone.

You forgot "cower in fear" and "Bravely run away"


Again, Fluff Admund would go in, but I wish that Julian could participate. We could come back later with him, but Admund has to go to the watch tomorrow, and there isn't a guarantee that wizard elf lady will be there. I could come back tomorrow with a city watch patrol and the party maybe?

[commandant]

Does Mortus have to be at the circle for the spirit to find her again?

[Fandir Nightshade]

Max is only armed with a dagger is that right? A plan might be to have urlun disguise himself as a cultist and check behind the door if confronted he could claim that there are intruders ..or we just sneak in and hope to surprise them.

[rufus sparkfire]

Does Mortus have to be at the circle for the spirit to find her again?

Yes.

Max is only armed with a dagger is that right

He took a sword from one of the dead cultists.



So, what's the plan?

[Fandir Nightshade]

I would say we wait for Admund to add his voice in ....then I would suggest we try the sneak in and check plan...Klaus would open the door but I will write in game as soon we have Admund either stopping our folly or chiming in.

Klaus is curious that is why he wants to check behind the door. Even though it might be a bad idea....I think it is a bad idea.

[Mogsam]

Charge! Coincidently if I die before a week of playing it'd be funny!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Sorry for my slow replies! Busy work week. Thanks for waiting for me.

What about the two other doors? We should at least read the description in the stonework above the doors before entering. One could read "room full of henchmen".

After that, I guess we're entering Wizardland. It's a double door, so we could keep one closed to step behind as cover. We know nothing about the next room, so I could open the door and let Heinrich scout a few steps with his Urban/Rural sneak skills. There may be cover or an advantageous position to be fighting from.

If we open the door and there is no cover, just a big room with some wizards hanging out, we have Heinrich send some arrows at them, and move in. Admund and Klaus can take the front of the group, Max, Ulrun, and Heinrich in the rear. When we have an idea of what we're fighting, we can go from there.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Klaus in the front....Seriously? Maybe we should run after all....but I agree with Karls plan.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Heinrich has no wounds and will have a bow out. Max only has a few wounds. Ulrun can fight, but he needs to concentrate on his magical things. Leaving you and I. You have two pistols, which would be useful at a medium ranger rather than a farther range. You can clearly handle yourself in a melee. If there are like 50 guys in here, I might get overwhelmed. I guess I was thinking more of a:

                             Heinrich
Admund -- Klaus -- Ulrun
                             Max

[Fandir Nightshade]

Klaus even has four pistols he is at full health and yes he can fight reasonably well in melee...most likely better than any wizard.

He just has to moan and bitch once in a while and show everyone what a coward and a bad person he is.
