<Bern>

"OK, so based on my understanding of your 'recon report', our foes seem to be hole up in that building. Does that sound right", he asked Lingo.

Lingo - (ghosted for Neptune)

He gives Bern a 'put upon' expression. "Didn't I just say that?"

He looks at Ryssa and rolls his eyes.

Ha pauses a minute. "But I thought the dragon was our foe? When did these strangers become our foe? Did they attack you while I was gone?"

Ryssa


The cleric didn't quite laugh, but she did cock one eyebrow in response to Lingo's eye-roll.

"They didn't sound friendly... that much I can say for sure."

Ryssa paused a moment and then continued.

"And I don't much like the idea of having a dragon in front of me and unfriendlies - at least unfriendly sounding - ones behind."

<Bern>

"Just making sure I understood you", he said with a shrug.

He nodded his agreement with Ryssa's assessment. He considered adding a quip about Lingo taking care of both dragon and cultists for them, but decided to back off since the little guy seemed to be getting worked up. He was going to have to think about finding another way to 'educate' him on how groups work.

Lingo

"I ain't never gonna be the one making choices for us, but if you're worried about those other people, we gotta find a way to find out who they are. I think they're just here to steal my treasure ... ummmm, the dragon's treasure. But maybe I'm wrong. So how do we do that? Can we capture one?"

<Bern>

"That's not a bid idea Lingo", he said nodding. "So I guess we wait for their next 'recon' and see what they have to say."

Luminmorn

He considered before speaking. "So wait till they do a patrol at night and hope that they pass by again? Or set some kind of an ambush?" He personally would have just gone up and knocked, but they would likely have to do more harm than he would choose.

<Bern>

"Hopefully they are a bit more proactive and will send a patrol out sooner rather than later", he said with a grin.

Lingo
"Or we can lure them out."

<Bern>

"I would rather that we not get them 'worked up' any sooner than needed. Ambushing a patrol they sent out reduces their number with out alerting them. They may even send out another patrol when the first fails to return."

Lingo

"We have no idea who they are. They might be good people. I could probably put one to sleep with my magic."

Luminmorn

The dragonborn nodded. "That seems much more reasonable. Not everything needs to die." He commented simply.

<Bern>

He shrugged. From the description, he didn't buy it. But maybe they had to learn. "If that is hoe you want to proceed."

Ryssa


Ryssa closed her eyes for a moment, going over what she remembered of what the men had said.

"Have any of you heard the name Favric before?"

[[ help me here ... have I?? ]]

[OOC: I don't know... the cultists intimated that Favric was their boss and was the one who ordered the nightly patrols of the area.]

Balthazar

"If we are going to try and take a prisoner, I should relearn my own sleep spell as well." he offered.

(OOC - Ken - I corrected your list in the "Spellcasters" thread. You had Magic Missile memorized twice, but in v5 Spells do not work like that anymore. You pick the list of spells for the day from which you "may" cast. You can then cast any spells from that list as often as you have slots, meaning you could cast the same 1st level spell 4 times and never cast the others. Therefore you never want to choose the same spell more than once on your "may" cast list. I swapped the second MM out for Sleep.)

Lingo

"What I was thinking is that I could hide and use my mage hand to haunt them with strange noises like knocks on the door. Maybe they'll send someone out to check on the noise. I'll lure them away from the others and then we can sleep him."

<Bern>

"If you want to give it a try ... but I don't think any of the rest of us are stealthy enough to get as close as you. So you will be on your own for most of the most dangerous part."

(OOC -OK, so give me some actions.)

[[ Nep's been a bit 'overwhelmed' ... give him a day or so to get here <g> ]]

Lingo

"I don't want to go off on my own. I can do something to lure them out ... maybe, if they fall for my tricks. But we gotta do a team thing. We're a team, right?"

Ryssa


"We are a team, yes, my friend," she said to the little one.

"Perhaps we can all assume positions close to their lair and then be prepared while you trick them out into the open?"

<Bern>

"I agree with Ryssa. But the question remains, can we all be quiet enough to get as close as needed without being heard. I know I can be quiet, but not as quite as you Lingo and I am not the noisiest in the group", he said with a shrug.

"I can probably get into a position where I could cover you with my bow, but if that is needed, I think we are probably going to get their whole group coming at us pretty quickly."

He let the others think on that for a moment, hoping someone had a better idea than he did.
