Zilean's Revenge - OOC

Clever RP! I'd reward you if I knew how to.   

Edit to my post made. Let the combat continue!

No, that was only the first round. You were already "skipped". This is a new (2nd) round and now it is your "normal" turn. So go edit that with what you're doing.   

Edited post. You're up, Broken.

Anyone assisting Rolf, or doing it themselves?

Can Jenna take her husbands body with her as she leaves? She's a strong dwarven lady, I'd bet she'd have no problems, and it'd suck dragging it around with us.

Yeah, she can carry him, and has a cart outside.

I guess we're not leaving yet, then. I suppose we might as well go take a look at the northern tents. You think it's worth it to go covert now? Or shall we just waltz in there and run amok?

A couple thoughts for how to proceed:

1) I think the northern tents are the next main target (getting the shields down, most likely). But if that's another "super big" thing, we may have to put it aside.
2) One possible sidequest (that was breifly mentioned by our benefactor) was finding a way to disrupt their supply lines. Sabotaging some wagons, finding some documentation, etc.
3) Covert is better, if we can pull it off. We've still got some cultist robes lying around. (Oh, and Rolf's probably going to want to burn that Bloodbender's body. That's something that might come back to bite us otherwise.)
4) Who wants to look in Rolf's Handmirror of Sunshine and Lollipops?

Oh, right. The mirror. I was meaning to take a peak.

Roll endurance on that one.

Sorry Broken, no trances, trauma don't cure that easily (at least not by yourself), and it seems a bit iffy in general.

That lovely bit of RP does, however, award you a +3 'motivation' bonus to athletics/acrobatics vs Zilean's/cultist's efforts.

Ah well, it was just an after thought anyway.
Thanks for the bonuses though
Oh, could I make a knowledge check to see if I know any specific details about what I saw? (This would happen before the sickness took effect, right?)

How do you want to approach this? Bluff our way in, or did you want to take them out? I might be able to stealth in and grab one from behind (rolls willing).

I'm going for bluffing. Might need some assists, though.

I am so sorry, the week has just been fairly distracting, and the fact this website keeps logging me out doesn't help either. My apologies for going silent for a week.   

It's alright, Azarune. We all know life happens.

Anyway, bad news everyone: I rolled a Nat 1 for the second persuasion check. So, a few options...

1. I stumble a bit, and let her try to lead me back on course (Awesomeness, if she still has that.)
2. "I...well...oh, screw it." Illumate, bitches!
3. Let Jeraylia make her own roll, and have mine be a blank/lousy assist.

Your thoughts?

Roll D3 to decide? Heh, honestly though, I think any of them is good. Follow your gut. Or nose.

Sorry, should have read ooc first, but I made a post. Do want to do anything about the nat 1 Zarhon, or can I supercede it with my attempt?

Well, I'll assume the nat1 is Rolf's own roll on persuasion. You can use awesomeness on it, assuming you haven't done so 'today' yet. You can make your own roll as well (assists wouldn't help much), which may or may not involve / be affected by Rolf's blunder, depending on how you choose to word it.

I guess my post is fine as it is, then? Rolf's follow up post, which would technically be before mine, would make it sound like I'm coming up clean after he tried to make a weak excuse. I think I've still got awesomeness, though.

Roll persuasion on that reply (unless you don't want to for some reason). Rolf can try and say something / assist too.

I know it seems to happen regularly lately for us, but i can feel the blood rushing when all hell breaks loose. Those two left over charges of spectral ram might be handy if we come into contact with Zilean's big, end boss box in the next five minutes (not suggesting we should). These guards, were they at the front of the tent? Also, how is the tent being held up?

Yeah, I don't think the Battering Ram would help all that much with the end boss. The Battering Ram only works on inanimate objects, and while whatever the box contains is certainly not natural, it would probably count as "alive enough". I can think of a few other uses, though.

Alt-script time!
Skitter: We can use the Battering Ram to smash open the box, thereby foiling Zilean's plans.
Rolf: First, the box is currently in that tent, which is (partially) shielded and has a powerful lich inside it. Second, I remember the cube itself had a magical barrier around it, which might negate any force sent toward it. Finally, just the sight of what was inside nearly broke Jeraylia, and you want to let it out!?!

Edit: Wait, Zthulan, set the tent you're NEXT TO on fire before rushing back where we are.

If I passed the athletics roll, I am sure setting both tents on fire would be easy enough.

Well the good news is, you certainly passed the athletics roll to break the tent's support, and avoided getting javelin'd that way.

The bad news is that wasn't exactly useful whilst you're still inside said tent.
