Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
"We go in the front door, and demand that they return the lady to us or face the consequences. Sneaking around is for thieves and murders, and I sir, am neither. "
Reholstering his axe after the shadows flee, he is going to cross his arms over the top of his shield, and lean against it.

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Loft glares at Dominus. "Do you believe that is what they would do for you? If you do believe so, you are most likely quite insane. If we must act like thieves and murderers to take a noble lady back from the real thieves and murderers, let it be so."

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Balth interjects himself into the conversation before an arguement can break out
I do not believe that we can sneak in completely undetected. Even if Dominus does not shout warning ahead he is hardly equipped for sneaking, and for that matter neither am I. I am afraid it comes down to an assault.
I do not believe that giving the drow notice that we are here will help anyone, and would greatly endanger both us, and the life of the lady. There is nothing honourable about that. I do understand you aversion to fighting dirty though dwarf.
Would it satisfy your conscience if in an assault your role was to defend us from attacks by the drow. That way you would only have to attack those who were already proving themselves to be a threat.Last edited by Breten; 2007-11-12 at 11:03 PM.

Loft paces back and forth, scratching his temple, as he says, "I believe we should trust Pheiros to concoct a plan that may be adequate for our... situation. Or, if he decides so, we may all devise our own and have a vote."

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
"Depending on the circumstances, I might be able to get around a good deal of fighting entirely," Naenre puts in thoughtfully. "Uniquely among us, I can actually look as though I belong here, as long as I'm somewhere a mere commoner might realistically be. I might even manage to blend myself in with the common soldiers of our target house, with some effort and a little luck."
Turning to Dominus, she adds in a slightly harsher tone, her accent slipping out slightly as she speaks, "Bearing in mind that our goal is to rescue this woman and naut to attempt to singlehandedly annihilate the city, a method that minimizes or, ideally, avoids bloodshed in turn maximizes our chances of success. I assume you do value her life more than your desire for battle?"SpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerMade you look.

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
As the shadow world swirled around them, Pheiros looked at the dwarven knight sympathetically "Naenre speaks true Dominus, our first responsibility is to the Lady and her rescue, as entrusted to us by Lord Istarling. But you are also right, we are not thieves come to steal the Lady, nor do I think we will all succeed in trying to sneak past a clan of assassins. "
Pheiros pauses to finger his holy symbol, looking thoughtfully at Oghma's silver scroll, "We still know too little. We have no idea why they took the Lady, so therefore little idea of what situation she might be in, or even of her desire to return. We need to get into that house before her kidnappers decide to whisk her away..." Pheiros looks back at Dominus with a smile, " and to encourage them to stick around for a fair fight."
"We still need to make it to the tower though, and I suggest we have Naenre lead the way. When we get there I can ask Oghma's advice for the best way in. Though since we are not equipped to take on shadow dragons, right now the soldier's door seems like our best option.""It's a trick. Get an axe."

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
As the shadows whirl around you in half formed shapes, the darkness seems to pulse as if trying to fight a battle it knows it can't win.
Well then, I'll see you off and about. Do try to stay out of trouble, a drow city can be dangerous. Slaves are not uncommon, but one drow to four slaves is a bit much.. You could try a spell of disguise and seem a better fit. Oh yes, from this point you can see the House, as it is one of the closest to the wall. A quaters-hour walk will get you to the soldiers entrance, which has an iron door fitted on it's inside. You should be able to get there with plunty of time to have a brief scouting mission, before the opposing house falls on the tower. Do try to be in the Rock by then, I'm sure they will stack the guard on the outside entrances at this assult.
As he speaks, Camunbrax walks backwards, leaving a bigger gap between him and your group, who's area is becoming a lighter shade of gray with every moment. Finally at the sound of tearing parchment, the everburning touch gives off twice it did in the realm of shadows, and seems like an obvious becon in the creeping darkness, which seems no less intense but all the more alive, as the smell and the noise of a busling city assults your senses. You see the soft glow of faerie fire radiating from the beautiful buildings filling the cavern. It is ruffly half the size of skullport, with also about half it's inhabitants. It stretches to your left farther than it does to your right, afording you the sight of two cavern walls. The wall at your back gently slopped in on itself getting, the distance between the floor and ceiling getting shorter and shorter, and finally ending in a field of razor like stalagtites, and stalagmites, which hung (ironicly) like a dragons maw at your back. You look back and see no sign of your wolfish guide, who surly stayed on the lightless plane of exsitance. He seemed almost comfortable their, a foreign thought to all of you. The closest house is just as Camunbrax desribed, a tower like building that use to be a stalagemit, and stalagetite grown together, making a solid column in the cavern. Half way up it's side there was a plateau bedecked in carvings of dragons in flight, drow on saddle back. This gateway is not facing you however, it is faced towards the left and the majority of the city, which gave you a breath taking view of it's further beauty.
Spoiler((00C, from now you have four hours, which i will ruffly update you on depending on what activities you decide to partake in, I will tell you how long certain things will take, so you can gage a stradigy. The glow of the buildings gives 20ft low light vision, and (im bending the rules here) 5ft regular. however does not hender darvision. Now be on you merry way. be quick about your plan, that torch will rouse suspicion from the closest houses, including a tower like one...))

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Naenre whirls around, her expression unmistakably urgent. "Torch. Away. Now."
As soon as the light is hidden away, she continues, speaking quickly, "It's time for me to be candid. I wasn't born in any Underdark city -- I was born in the forest of Cormanthor, on the surface. There's a relatively small group of Lloth-worshippers there. This ... in many ways is as new to me as any of you." She turns to look up at the tower and opens her mouth as if to speak again, then slowly closes it, unable to find words as she stares at what, if she's to be believed, is a part of her heritage she must have only known from stories.
Quietly, she says finally, "He's right. You would have to be slaves."SpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerMade you look.

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Does anyone have disguising magics? I don't have anything of the type in my mind. I also don't think anyone is going to believe I am a slave looking like this.

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Loft sighs and throws his torch far down in the cavern. "That was money well spent." He looks to Balthamore and says, "Neither do I, unless you want me to blast fire in your face until it's blackened and your eyes are boiling and bloody."

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
"I can disguise myself for long enough to get into the house... two drow walking with three slaves or bodyguards should get us to the door, if not through it."
Pheiros placed his hand on Balth's shoulder, "I doubt there will be any robes here large enough to disguise you, but if you can strap your shield on your back and pull your cloak around your front, Kossuth may escape their notice. The trick to disguise is in your attitude... though it might help if you all were carrying something.""It's a trick. Get an axe."

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Balthamore sighs, and nods.
I can do better yet
Quickly he doffs his robe, revealing the simple undertunic beneath. He bundles up his armour and shield and robe in the dark grey cloak he wears. Then he knees down to grab some dust from the cavern floor and begins smearing it on his arms, legs and undertunic, and mussing up his hair.
He inspects himself for a second and whispers a regretful prayer
Kossuth forgive me for hiding your glory, but every fires must be extinguished when you are being hunted by night.
Then he turns awkwardly towards Nanre, suddenly aware of the other's attention.
Sooo...is this enough or should someone hit me a couple times to make it more realistic?Last edited by Breten; 2007-11-14 at 10:23 PM.

"You might want to give yourself some non-lethal burn marks on your arms, you'd be used to the feel of flames by now, I presume? And, speaking of that, perhaps somebody has some chains, possibly? I believe I've seen enough of my parents to know how a captured paladin would act."

To Loft, Naenre says, "You know, you can keep the torch -- just hiding it away for now will do. Having a light you can suddenly shine in someone's face to gain an advantage in a dire emergency might even be useful. Believe me, I know: none of them would like that in the least."
Turning then to Balthamore, she adds with a sly, crooked grin, making a teasing show of cracking her knuckles, "And ... I can certainly hit you if you'd like."SpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerMade you look.

Loft eyes the bundle in Balthamore's arms, "What about the scale mail that the fire priest is holding?" he says indifferently. "That could pass as long as it doesn't have any holy symbols of Kossuth all over it. And about those chains, I didn't get an answer yet. Do we have any?"
((Dwarves are medium sized, and they don't need their armor custom made. It could fit on me, but it would look strange, since it's dwarven made.))Last edited by Old_el_Paso; 2007-11-16 at 05:08 PM.

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Pheiros looks back at the tower and says, "Naenre can walk in front and I'll take the back. Loft and Balth can walk behind Naenre. Keep your eyes down, drop your shoulders, and try to look dejected. Keep your hands behind your back as if you're bound." Pheiros rubs his chin for a moment, thinking. "Dominus you can be in the back with me, act like you're watching Loft and Balthamore."
"We'll need a story when get to the door though, or if somebody stops us. I'd suggest telling a partial truth, we found adventurers from Waterdeep who after the Lady, and we're bringing them to the tower for a reward. When we get to the door we'll figure out the best way in... it may have to be by force, so be ready."
SpoilerBefore the party moves, Pheiros will cast disguise self, changing his features to match a Drow male, taking off a few inches in height too."It's a trick. Get an axe."

Re: Underdark Kiddnaping EyeSee
Balth blushes as crimson as the flames of Kossuth himself.
Ummm well I only thought it would help with the disguise and all. I don't like getting hit or anything. I could try to burn myself, I am not afraid of fire at all...but us followers of Kossuth are a bit hard to burn sometimes. Maybe I am being silly, but its something I heard once in a bard's tale....and if it will help the lady I am not afraid to do it.
But as he speaks his voice almost crack, as if he was saying it as much to convince himself than anyone else.Will be away for the month of July, working at Camp

The drow's expression shifts to one of wry amusement, and she shakes her head, waving off the offer dismissively. "You would likelier be beaten with a whip," she demurs. Then she looks back up at the tower again, and her smirk fades, giving way for the first time to something that looks like genuine, haunted fear.
Taking a slow, deep breath, she asks finally, "Are we ready?"SpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerSpoilerMade you look.

((****. Whatever, you're right, doesn't matter. XD Same thing happened to me earlier in the game))
"I was wondering if you would like to stab me with one, or just plain shoot me with it, but since they're all poisoned, I guess I'll have to find something else. Dominus, would you mind hitting me in the face a couple times with the blunt side of your axe? I want it to look like I went down fighting, as an idiotic paladin would do in a hopeless situation.
He thens taps his foot for a second and smacks himself in the face.
"I just remembered I have some bolts, I suppose they might be believable."
Loft pulls a crossbow bolt out from underneath the back side of his coat, raises it, and abruptly stabs it into his shoulder. He groans for a second, but then bites down hard on his sleeve.

"You want me to smack you upside the head? If you say so. But don't blame me for any brain damage. It sound's like your all ready addled"
The dwarf shrugs before spitting on his hands and grasping his axe and swinging the blunt end towards the side of Lofts head a couple of times to get the timing right, before smacking him upside the head with it.

Loft falls to the floor and spits saliva-diluted blood all over the floor. He picks up some blood soaked dirt and rubs it into his hair and across his face.
