Discuss plan for attack.
Questions on the layout.
I have stone skin up as I cast last round.
Reik says: "It might be that the gate is trapped, hence the warning. I can create a stone ladder, or staircase to get up the wall if we would prefer the indirect approach. Not my normal tactic. However walking into a known trap is on the foolish side. With the clearing around the wall there is little chance they won't be ready for us, but at least there it wouldn't be directly through the trap."
How sturdy does the wall look, we do seem to have our own destroyer!
-
Dovin asks: do we have any idea of the population of the town? It need not be a very sophisticated trap if we are to be out numbered 100 to 1 or more.
-
Spaz ask should I go and Scout some more? See if I can get some more information on where people are.

It is stockade style, 25 foot vertical logs sharpened at the top.

From what Grant knows and your viewing, 5-8 thousand.
-
Spaz goes off and scouts again without waiting for an answer. I turn invisible and hide. I got a 35 hide check. I also you decect good, law and chaos to tell how power beings in the town are and I use detect thoughts to read the guards minds and anyone else I think is worth readng the mind off.
-
Do you let them know you are going?
Do you search the settlement outside the wall, on the other side of the wall, both?
-
Yes I let them know I am going and I search both areas.
-
If anyone has any words for Spaz before he goes, you have until tomorrow. I will message Windblade what happens tomorrow if not.

"Make it quick little fairy, or I'm crashing through the front door and pummeling everything in my path. Reik, get working on that staircase. I haven't had a fair fight in years. 6000 to 1 means they might actually make me break a sweat."

If we could find an area of the wall near stone, i can rend the earth up with the will of drunnbar and weaken or destroy the wall. Later i could repair that gap as to not threaten the safety of the innocents in the city. I cannot take this waiting very long.. it feels very (turns his head, pulls his beard back and spits) magic user like...
-
By looking at the ground around you, and having an idea of the landscape, you doubt there is any large amount of stone near the wall.

Dovin shakes his head. What have I gotten myself into?
-
As Spaz flies by to scout Dovin hears him whisper. Isn't it scary that I might be the most rational one.

We are the oldest

Can you post the message that was spoken?
Is it clear it was a "recorded" message? Same words repeated with the same inflection?
-

Patience Brother Valizar. We will not be charging through the front gate into whatever trap they are waiting to spring. You are a student of Korda's style, are you not? Remember your training. Be immoveable like the rock and let you opponent come to you.

Pixie, will you accept a blessing from Tyrogatore?

It is not 'recorded'. Every time it is said, it is different, but versions of:
"Come and fight cowards!"
"I will eat your bodies and your souls!"
"Blood for the Devourer!"
-
Pixie, will you accept a blessing from Tyrogatore?
Yes. Thank you. (braces himself)
-
Which blessings do you give him?

"My opponents shall crash upon my mighty frame like feeble waves against a mountain." (With each repetition of the taunts from within the compound, Valizar cracks a knuckle and begins praying. Right before we act, I plan to cast Enlarge Person and Mighty Wallop.)
-
Yes. Thank you. (braces himself)
"Good. You know this will not be pleasant, but you accept anyway. Your courage demonstrates your worth."
Haas grabs Spaz's head with both hands and squeezes. "May Tyrogatore make your vision as sharp as the eagle's. And through his divine will, your eyes will be my eyes."
Spaz gets Eyes of the Avoral (+8 bonus to spot checks) and Chain of Eyes (shared vision courtesy of Prayerful Fist).
Followed by some group blessings:
Mass Bull Strength
Mass Conviction
Invisibility Purge (after Spaz leaves)
-
Spaz got a natural 20 on his role for spot. With the +8 from the spell and his normal check of +17 that gives him a total of 45 spot.
-
Spaz, and Haas through the spell, and then Haas tells the rest, see the following:
The huts are made of wood, are all only one floor, are simple but sturdy, and mostly contain one room. They are clustered together in groups of four or five, with other clusters being not too far away from each other. They have wooden doors and stutters on the windows. All of the doors and shutters are closed.
(Spaz, you can choose to go in or not)
As you look around, spending a few minutes buzzing around all of the huts outside the wall, there is little different between the huts. Some are slightly bigger. Some have animals in a pen next to the hut. Pigs are common. There are several areas where the huts have been burned down.
Above the huts, there are a series of ropes that are strung down from the wall to huts in several of the clusters.
There are no trees among the huts.
-
I used all of my detections first. Detect good, evil, law, and thoughts.
-
After twelve minutes of Spaz searching around, you see him go into one of the huts through the window.
Inside, there is a pile of bones in the center of the hut. There are no muscles, flesh, skin, etc.
-
Leaving that hut, Spaz heads to the wall and the gate.
You see him searching the area around the gate.
-
After a minute or two of that, Spaz flies over the wall and into the inner settlement.
-
The inside of the settlement has lots of huts, much the same as the others but generally larger, gathered around several buildings. There is a road that leads from the gate to the main building, a large rectangular hall. None of the buildings are higher than the wall, which is 25 feet. There are several wells scattered around the area.
On the wall, ducked down on a catwalk, are lizardfolk, Vass mainly and some Gatori. There are more milling about the area, all moving quickly, with eyes darting to the gate when it is within sight.
There is one burned out building, which is near the other larger buildings. You see clearly a shrine / temple to Habastly next to the burned building.
-
This... this crouching around like magic users doesn't feel right.. I don't like it.
Reik stands up.. puts more dirt on himself, and starts walking towards the gate.
-
Are any of the Gatori obviously larger or giving orders?
-
Already trying to find that out.
-
Inside the wall, you see many lizardfolk waiting with weapons. They are behind huts and down paths away from the main gate. Most have spears and axes.
As you approach the main building, you can see inside the large double doors to a room filled with lizardfolk, and one large light green scaled Gatori..
-
I start shouting once I'm clear of the trees...
"No reason for innocents to get hurt here, send out the Devourer to answer for his crimes! Drunnbar and Tygorator wish to judge him. Show you have a spine and show yourself, or are you truly cold blooded"
-
When Riek does that, it has been 16 minutes since Spaz went to investigate.
