Auromar: Light and Dark (IC 3)

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

Hist, on the other hand, opens the window, and sticks his head out, seemingly to get a bit of air. After a few seconds, he ducks back into the room, calling up his spells of invisibility and flight, before flying out of the room towards the jail.

[Greyen]

Dothen

Dothen heads into town, finding a convienient place to sli pinto unseen to fade into the shadow to watch the guardhouse in and get a good full round view of it.

[Lochar]

The guardhouse is a somewhat large building, as seen before is made completely of stone that does not seem to be stacked blocks, but instead one piece of stone.

Dothen

Dothen scales a nearby builing and sticking to the shadows begins to take a quick headcount of guards. He also looks around for the more deserted portion of town.

Spoiler

Show

Are there enough shadows around to maintain HiPS?

Looking for guardsmen that are out and about.

Look for a building nearby that is desserted and unused.

[Lochar]

Dothen:

As long as your within 10' of shadows, you can hide. Literally. So as long as you're within 10' of a building, you're hidden. It does extend to where you can walk 10' away from a person and use their shadow to hide in.

Out and about guards that you can see number about six or so. There could be more in the guard house, there could be some already at the walls.

The local area isn't as highly trafficked as the rest of the town, probably because there is the guardhouse here. You can find an unused building about three to four blocks from the guardhouse.

[Greyen]

Dothen

More scouting happens quickly. Dothen checks out the abandoned building a few blocks south making sure that it is truly abandoned. Inside the building Dothen also looks for combustibles. He will also check the distance from this building to any others nearby. Once finished he will go to the window of Kjapps cell and wait for Hist. Assuming that Hist is invisible he will wait for Hist to start talking to Kjapp or vice versa.

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

Hist swoops around the city a few times, still invisible, looking for where the other guards are positioned, how attentive they seem and if any of the settlers could represent a physical threat (Such as particularly strong, or any who seem to be mages (Or at least, anyone who seemed to be carrying possible spell components.))

Spoiler

(1d20+5)[12] Spot check for all that.

[Lochar]

Dothen:

Spoiler

The building is unused, and there are no combustibles. It has the look of a small warehouse, and there are buildings nearby it as well. One looks used but no one there, another empty as well.

Hist:

Spoiler

Show

There are four guards at the gate you all came in, and two guards each at two other smaller gates.

You don't see anyone that would pose a considerable threat.

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

After a few circuits of the town (Both for the purpose of scouting, and for his own pleasure at being able to stretch his wings), the warlock descended to Kjapp's window.

Hello?

He whispered into the cell; if Kjapp had been taken, the guard hopefully wouldn't remember anything, and that would give him away.

Hopefully.

[Greymist]

Inside the cell you see the sleeping form of Kjapp which doesn't stir when you whisper.

Spoiler

Show

Listen (1d20+12)[17] to notice the whisper and wake up.
Base DC15 for a person whispering and -10 (which I forgot to subtract) for sleeping so not, he doesn't wake up.

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

Hello?

Hist repeats himself, calmly, five more times, trying to wake up Kjapp before considering another option..

[Greyen]

Dothen

Dothen whispers to Hist I'm here. Want me to try the front door? Or raise a ruckus?

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

The warlock twitches slightly at the unseen Dothen's greeting.

I'm tempted to port in first, take a look around, and give you better directions for his gear, before we get this show on the road. But that could go belly up easily. In case it does, But I'd prefer it if our friend here could wake up firs5t. Last thing we need is someone who's only half conscious.

[Greyen]

Dothen

Seems a good plan, if nothing else youc an port out up to the roof and fly off. Why'nt you go in and give'm a slap? Mebbe that'll wake him up.

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

The warlock chuckles at Dothen's suggestion

Tempting. But they'd hear it. And I feel kind of responsible for the poor guy right now. I'd bet he didn't sleep last night, assuming we'd come and help him.

Still....

He double checked his gear, making sure he had Reid's fly, and the Healer's dagger before finding a nice dark spot that'd hide the brief image of himself that this spell would create. Then, he used his magic to enter the cell.

He looked around for a few seconds, trying to see as much of the station as he could (Before using his mystic sight to see a little more.)

Then, he touched Kjapp's sholder, very gently, just enought to wake him as e whispered into the man's ear.

Stay there, but be ready. Sorry, this took a little longer than expected.

[Greyen]

Dothen

Dothen keeps watch for his friend making sure no one i the street notices their actions. If anyone comes Dothen hisses so that Hist can hear him but not the person on the street. If there is trouble Dothen has his sap in hand.

You can see out of Kjapp's cell and across from his is another. To your left from the cell, there are two very heavy, several feet thick metal doors. One of the doors is slightly open, and to your mystic seeing eyes, that is where the glow is coming from.

DD is heavy metal doors.

dd is heavy wooden doors.

Can I see to the right? What's there?

Leaving Kjapp for a moment, Hist moves over to the window, and whispers to Dothen

I'd place his kit in the back of the building. There's a set of iron doors there, and one's ajar. Can't tell you what else's there.

As to the front, well, there's a set of wooden doors, prety heavy, but not that tough. Can't see what's past them, but there's another pair of cells between us and them. I'm guessing the front room is on the other side. Not that fancy.

One good thing though, is that none of them has a view of the cell from the frount as far as I can tell.

Even so, this could go bad. One thing; I assume you don't want to go out through the frount door. Running into the guards might not be fun Do you want me to leave the lock on this cell broken? That way, you could get out via the cell.

Map updated.

[Greymist]

Kjapp's eyes creep open and he takes in the scene, processing the voice he heard in his ear before doing anything.

He slowly sits up on the bed working the kinks out of his body but not standing up.

Lochar:

I assume it will have been less than 8 hours so I'll leave the cleric spells scratched off my list?

My post updated.

Dothen


They won't find me if I do run into them. Any magic junk in there that I need to worry about?

[Lochar]

Kjapp:

Spoiler

Correct, and besides, you don't have the hour for prayer it would take to update spells anyways.

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

A few minor canitrips, most of which are for opening the doors. A load beyond the door. Some'll be Kjapp's kit, but some might not be. Nothing else I could see.

Are we ready to go?

Right?

[Lochar]

Dothen:

AFAIK, you're still outside the cell. Are you planning on getting inside it?

Hist:

There are more auras in the room behind the metal doors that are not cantrips..

[Greyen]

Still outside, yes. And I will be changing that soon.

Dothen

Whispering for Hist and Kjapp's ears You too are doing fine. No one coming yet. Might want to get to work on the getting out part soon though. Even on a caper Dothen is sarcastic.

[Moral Wiz]

Hist

Hist smiles, and pulls out the healer's dagger.

Ok. Any distraction you had planed though, would be appreciated.

With that, assuming Dothen would set to work on distracting the guards, Hist reappeared, and started to go to work on the bars with the combination of adamantine, and magic.

[Greyen]

Dothen

Gotcha, be right back. Dothen moves down the street a ways and up the side of the abandoned building. On the roof he pours out 2 bottles of oil, marking the spot so he can hit it with an alchemist's fire from a few houses away.

Then quickly he moves a few houses away and throws an alchemist's fire at the patch of oil. Once the oil is burning nicely making a big cloud of smoke, Dothen waits a moment before yelling from one of the roofs FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!. He then legs it back to the jail cell.

[Greymist]

Kjapp

Kjapp stands up and slowly pads over to Hist before whispering.

I'll keep a look out by the door

After which he moves to the cell door to watch and listen for guards.
