    Bleck! All this talk of planning and no doing. Booooooring.

    "Ya know...I find winging it and following my guts the much better plan, and exciting! Anyways, half the time most of what's meticulously planned isn't followed through anyway.

    Most importantly. We got daylight to burn!"
    She said with an already triumph grin. She began to march, since Benson is assuming they're to hit the road on wing and hoof.

    "That battleplan is always the first casualty..."

    Foxglove mutters as she hops up on Tweedle while Fox-Glove hops up on her back, and the three of them follow Gear.

    "...Hopefully the only one...There's nothing casual about them."

    After quite a bit of talking, getting to know one another, all that boring stuff, the ponies and Zoidberg Griffin arrive fairly close to the entrance of the cave. There's only one problem. Even from back here, they can tell there's a patrol, of what look like ponies, but they are far too big for that. They're easily twice the size of the tallest pony in the party.

    You guys are roughly 60 feet away or so. Whatever they are, they don't appear to have noticed you. Anybody in the mood for trying to sneak in and get a surprise round or do some scouting or something?

    Foxglove looks at the creatures, trying to decide if, in her wealth of knowledge about strange and mystical life (or unlife) forms, and general mysticalness, she knows anything:

    Heartflight held up a hoof, seeing the creatures. She peered closer, trying to make out what these figures were.

    Godwyn lands amongst his allies, and scowls deeply. "Something is wrong here. These are Golems - the sort refered to as Witch Hunters and Inquisitors. These things should not be in the service of a Necromancer. They should be hunting her," he explains in a terse whisper. "What is the meaning of this? A trick? A misunderstanding? Have they been enslaved?"

    "...How do we find out?"

    Foxglove asked, looking at them anxiously. They didn't want to hurt someone uninvolved, of course... But what if someone had gotten here before them, and the necromancer was in trouble?

    Foxglove thought for a while: was it possible for a golem to be forcibly taken from its master's command, and into a service that was opposed to its creation?

    "Haha, maybe we should ask," Gearstride said jokingly. "I kid, maybe, well, yea, it likely won't work.."

    "I'm gonna try to sneak in closer, see better details, maybe the runes or something that make them go...their programming...something...I don't know what I'm talking about!"
    Gearstride will inch away from the gang and towards the golems trying to stealth, going for as much cover as she can.

    Gearstride manages to make it 40 feet. She's closer, but definitely not close enough to interact with the Golems yet.

    The golems don't appear to have noticed her, though it's hard to tell if she's actually managed to properly sneak, or if she just hasn't made it close enough for them to consider her a threat.

    Heartflight nodded, then ruffled her wings, preparing for the inevitable battle. "Me too," she said quietly, sneaking off to flank them from the opposite direction to spy on them.

    Godwyn is holding his position, readying his shield and lance. If things go south, he'll do the traditional Paladin thing for a situation like this - charge in and be awesome.

    Foxglove begins to cast a spell, murmuring odd little bits of cast-off words to herself as she focuses the magic through her horn. She then walks over and taps Godwyn with her horn, letting the spell into him.

    "...If you're going to fight...You may need this."

    He'd feel stronger as a result.

    Godwyn inhales deeply, lets out a sigh, and grins. "Oh-ho-ho..." he chuckles. "This is nice. I think I'm going to really like traveling with you and your friends..." he quietly observes, tightening his grip on his gear.

    Alright, Gear and Heart are close enough to observe them for anything they think might be useful. The golems still have not noticed any of the party.

    Godwyn narrows his eyes. "You know..." he whispers to Foxglove, "If they attack the golems, and the necromancer finds out we were aggressive right off the bat, that kinda destroys any credibility we have if we try diplomacy. Soooo..." he frowns, "Looks like I have to go do something stupid, just so we can honestly say we tried to the peaceful route."

    And with that, Godwyn hops up and begins to hover, resting his lance on his shoulder in a sign of non-aggression. He proceeds to casually hover out of cover and over towards the golems, grinning cheerfully. "Hail! I am Godwyn, Paladin of Icarus. I come in peace," he jovially informs them. "I see you are Inquisitors! Pray tell, whom do you serve?"

    Yea though I walk through the valley dumbassery, I shalt fear no mangling, for thou art with me. Thine wings and thine talons, they comfort me...

    All three of the golems twist their "Heads" to look at you.

    "We are here by order of the mother. Leave, for your own good." The golems say in a creepy monotone, Darth Vader-esque voice.

    Foxglove nods. Sometimes you have to do things that are stupid to do things that are kind or right. Otherwise, everything would be a lie....
    So she'll wait to see how it happens...

    But she'll ready an action to begin her Inspire Courage if one of her party members should move to begin attacking, and she'll take the extra drain on her soul to tap into the very fabric of Creation with her song -- via Words of Creation. (3d4)[9] nonlethal damage will be taken as a part of this, but her allies would get +6 to attack and damage rolls, and Tweedle would get a +12 to the same.

    Well at least they're being polite enough to warn him.

    Still, this bodes ill.

    "The mother?" Godwyn raises a curious eyebrow. "Would you be so kind as to tell me more about the mother? Please, I mean no harm or hostility, and offer no tricks. I simply wish to know more."

    To illustrate his point, Godwyn releases his grip on the lance, and shrugs his shoulder, allowing the weapon to thump to the grass below him. "See? I come in peace..." he calmly informs them. He keeps a firm grip on his shield, though. He's not that stupid.

    The golem raises its sword, though it isn't attacking. It has to deliberate a moment on the best way to break Godwyn's face.

    Godwyn's face hardens to a serious expression. "There's no need for violence. I am trying to be peaceful and diplomatic. I've heard there is supposedly a mare in this cave, who is both a danger to others and to herself. I want to try to help her, peacefully. Please, can't we be reasonable about this?"

    Heartflight gritted her teeth, wondering what the heck Godwyn was doing. Don't be an idiot! she thought. As the golem raised its sword, she jumped into action. She gave Gear the attack signal, hoped she got it, then jumped out of her hiding place.

    "Hey, hooves off!" she said to the one who was raising its sword at Godwyn. Her wings shone like blades as she snapped them towards the golem, creating a blast of pure sound.
