Stealth & Intrigue, The Adventures of Salmiel

Selath grins fiercely as the lock opens, and begins pulling out equipment - first a knife, then a ring. The ring goes on his finger, and his free hand dips into his clothes again to pull out a wand.

Borend
Borend follows the other two out of the cell, staying slightly behind the others as he wants to be sure he has room for when turns into a dire lion once out of the anti-magic field. He answers Selath quietly Remember, we need at least one of them to stay able to talk long enough to tell us where our gear is.

[Heliomance]

Selash nods, his eyes on the guards.

Okay, Selash is going to attempt to activate his Ring of Chameleon Power as a free action as soon as he gets out of the cell, primarily as a test to see if that gets him out of the AMF. If it works, he'll use the wand to cast Blur on himself. If not, he'll move up behind the guard that's fighting Peter, still hiding, and attack, using both the Mosquito's Bite skill trick.

Attack roll: (1d20+11)[18](29)
Damage: (4d6+11)[5][4][1][3](24)

Thanks to Mosquito's Bite, he doesn't notice taking the damage, assuming he's flatfooted against me.

Course, if he's not flatfooted against me, that attack does sod all squared in a bucket - my weapon does 1 damage, the 4d6+10 is all sneak attack.

Ooh, critical threat.
Attack roll to confirm: (1d20+11)[17](28)
If successful,he takes another 11 damage, assuming flatfootedness.
If not flatfooted, he takes a grand total of 2 damage.

What are the odds that I got out of the antimagic field and hence used the wand instead of attacking, wasting that lovely crit?

Garret Cross

Garret sneaks out of the cell and quietly calls Peter back over to him. Once he's out, he points at one of the nearby guards and begins to cast Entangle on him.

Albert

A smile spreading across his face, Albert watches the events unfold before his eyes. He can hardly hold himself back as some of the other prisoners sneak out of the cell, but once the last one is out, he bursts through the open cell door with a childlike glee on his face. Once he reaches the point where the other's magic starts working, he points to the "freshest" looking recruit, the one who seems to have less experience. "It's alright, it was an honest mistake, I forgive you"

Spoiler

Albert will use Charm Monster on the newbiest looking guard. He has to make a will save vs DC 17 (19 if they didn't take the Headband, 21 if they didn't take to cloak.) or be charmed.

[Fishy]

Julian sticks his head out of the open cell door, also trying to work out where the edge of the field is.

Soon as he gets clear enough of the AMF for his Telepathy to work, he'll try paging his psicrystal again. Hide:(1d20+4)[22]

Psy leaves the cell. As he leaves he begins to try activating his defensive powers.

That's: Force Screen [+4 Shield bonus], Inertial Armor [+4 Armor bonus], and Mental Barrier [+4 Deflection bonus], for a total of 23 AC after everything is totaled.

He then tries to 'disappear'.

The guards don't notice their prisoners escape, instead worrying over the rodent that had just gotten free and seemed to dissapear. The guards are all so engrossed in their "search", they don't even notice their comrades wound.

Seash grins a predator's grin as the guard finally notices him. "Hi there. Nice day, isn't it?"

As the remaining guards watch their dead companion fall to the ground, their hands fly to their weapons.

Psy, being more of a "Wait & See" type, continues to hide from the guards, and move stealthily around the room. He waits for a good opportunity to join in, but without the benefits of his psionic defenses prefers to not fight.

[Ryuuk]

Abert

But the magic still wouldn't come... Fine, fine, he'd just have to deal with it. He stands a bit further ahead then the others, unless their weapons were of special iron, they'd have at least 1 unpleasant surprise.

Right, then.

With weapons drawn and the opportunity for a peaceful solution far behind us, and without access to his mental powers, Julian decides that discretion is the better part of valor, and makes a quiet attempt to get to the door of the guard room and freedom. Or, at least, the heck out of here.

We need to get out of here fast. There's something ... wrong about this room.

OOC: I'm guessing what I've already posted is Borend's first round, but here's what he does next

If the guard he attacked is the one that fell over dead, Borend checks to see if he that guard was carrying keys. Spot - (1d20+12)[27] Search - (1d20+2)[21]

If not, he continues attacking the guard in front of him, now trying to knock him out (nonlethal), in case he needs information.

Attack - (1d20+5)[22] Damage - (1d8+1)[6]

[Heliomance]

Selash takes advantage of the momentary respite caused byhis opponent going down to stash his useless wand and draw another knife from the folds of his clothes. He sinks into a fighting stance, and waits for a god opportunity to attack.

[Heliomance]

Well this lasted a nice long time.

[PsyBlade]

ooc: Still here.

[Ryuuk]

Well, antimagic fields hurt when you're a purely supernatural class.
