Kriv is unable to keep completely quiet and the orc thinks he hears something so he starts to look about. But with the help of others, he is able to duck away and soon after, the orc returns to his business of doing nothing and looking bored.

Once they are all back out of sight with no sign of alarm from the Orc, she asks. "Do you want to talk to him or take him out quietly?" | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Kriv
Cold, reptilian eyes settled on Chandan.
"Well? It would be your life at risk in the attempt. Do you wish to try, or do we just kill it?" | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,227 Likes: 10 Wobbly Headed Administrator | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,227 Likes: 10 | Chandan
He twizzles his grey hair. It's a riddler.
"A lone sentry, his only job to alert his cohorts.
"If we approach to parley, so they will be alerted.
"Yet if we kill him, we cannot question him, and will have to question the orcs in the cave instead. They might not like us killing their sentry." He says quietly, summarising the problem.
The old monk looks up at the sky for clairty, then nods.
"Only solution, knock out the sentry without him seeing us, drag him away for questioning."
How might they achieve such a thing?

"Not a problem", she says. "If that what you want to do I'll take care of it." She looks around to see what the consensus is. | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,726 Likes: 3 Administrator | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,726 Likes: 3 | Davroar

"And I have a sleep spell if that might be useful? And Whisper might be able to provide a distraction if we need one?"
Taking the sentry alive seems very sensible to her. Getting information will help. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,049 Likes: 12 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,049 Likes: 12 | Kallista
She nods to Jaliera. Clearly the girls is coming to terms with her new magical abilities. "Yes. That was my thought as well. Put him to sleep and then sneak up and gag and bind him and take him away."

But there are non-lethal spells. Sleep is an example. Also, if you had a net or something like that, I might consider. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 | Jaliera
"Well then I'll try to get close enough to use sleep. Whisper can fly a distraction run if I need her too."
She studies the terrain for a good approach. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Kriv
He nodded his assent, watching over her progress as she went. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 | ooc: Gypsy, I'll need another single stealth roll for you, DC 10 (should be a piece of cake unless the dice-roller has it in for you). If you succeed, roll your dice for sleep. The orc has only 15 HPs. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,227 Likes: 10 Wobbly Headed Administrator | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,227 Likes: 10 | Chandan
They're fortunate to have young people with such useful talents in their party. Chandan nods approvingly to Kallista and Jaliera, then starts warming up his throwing arm in case he has to hurl his spear.
"This should work. That orc definitely need his beauty sleep!" He says as encouragement. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 | Jaliera
She is careful, watching where she puts her feet, using cover and shadow to her advantage, moving slowly and smoothly from one spot to another, checking the orc to ensure he is still unaware. And she is ready to send Whisper towards the orc as a distraction if she needs to.
But she is so stealthy that she believes she could have walked up to him and kissed him without him noticing. Of course he could just be a very bad guard!
Once in range, she recalls her magic and waggles her fingers in the orc's direction.
Jaliera Stealth Gypsy rolled 1d20+7 and got 27 (max)
Jaliera Sleep Gypsy rolled 9d8 and got 45
As the orc slumps, she moves quickly to him and starts to tie him up, keeping watch for any others around. At her instruction Whisper flies on her own overwatch to help. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 | DM
Indeed, the orc never saw Jalieram but Jaliera saw it and it was a grimy, ugly, smelly and obviously dumb creature. It slumped over and fell off the rock it was sitting on. While she could have gotten close enough to kiss it, she has to battle the acrid odor that it gave off to get close enough to tie it up.
While the others were still about 50 yards away, almost within arrow range, Jaliera was there, up close and personal, trying to tie him up. Whisper flew overhead to keep a look out for some trouble. She tried to work fast because all it would take for the orc to awaken is to be jostled. | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,726 Likes: 3 Administrator | Administrator Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 10,726 Likes: 3 | Davroar
Watching Jaliera sneak up unseen and put the orc asleep with her magic, he starts to move down and says, "She's going to need help carrying the orc..." | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,227 Likes: 10 Wobbly Headed Administrator | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,227 Likes: 10 | Chandan
For some reason he had expected hypnotic swirling lights, more magical spectacle, and is surprised when the orc topples over. In the wilds, spellcasters seem to make less show of their magic than their mountebank cousins in the cities.
So the old monk hurries to catch up with Jaliera, saying to Davroar, "Yes. Me and you, we grab him."
Grab the sleeping orc, carry him off for questioning, somewhere out of earshot. That's the plan. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,775 Likes: 1 | Kriv
The Dragonborn remained on overwatch, his hands poised to invoke the mudras of spellcraft should the humans need covering fire if their antics drew attention from the orc pit. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,049 Likes: 12 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 23,049 Likes: 12 | Kallista
She moves quietly up as well, motioning to those approaching the Orc to gag him first. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 | Quite presumptuous about you "getting there". The distance is 50 yards (150 feet). You all move 30 feet. That's 5 rounds - 3 if you use double moves or 2 if you move faster. At this point you're closing the gap - not there yet.

Jaliera starts to carefully bind the orc's hands and manages to get the rope around it's wrists but that act starts to waken it. His hands will be bound but that unless Jaliera acts fast, that's all that will be bound when he awakens. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,351 Likes: 75 | Jaliera
Grabbing some of the rope, she stuffs it into the orc's mouth and then ties it in place, keeping her weight pressing down to hold him still.
"If you make a noise I will blind you."
She hisses at the orc, keeping her voice low and hoping he understands. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 18,520 Likes: 7 | OOC: That sounds like an intimidate roll to me  Rope isn't going to make a great gag but I'll say it'll work, but there are other ways. We can have some fun with those if your intimidate roll fails. | | |
