Hunter turns her head away from Ploopploopeen and says to the group, "I don't see why we all have to be taken prisoner. I will go on my own and be the decoy; the rest of you can hide in ambush outside the city, and keep Stool safe."

"Good point. Not all of us are combatants," Soliin says as he turns to Ploopploopeen. "On your word, can you hide and protect those of our number who shouldn't be in this fight?"
Mar 24, 2016 10:31 pm
Ploopploopeen shakes his head, "We need at least a few of you, or it won't seem like a sincere offering. The more we have as bait, the better. And being outside the city will make it too difficult to find your way in once we strike. Once battle is joined and we've killed my daughter, the rest of her people should give up. Fast and bloody, it will be."

Elfog merely grunts at Soliin's gesture before conceding an approving nod.

Hearing Hunter volunteer to go alone as a decoy Elfog looks in her direction and in Dwarvish slowly says "Aren't you a brave one!"

Continuing in Common he adds "Not losing another one of you lot because someone decided to go it alone. Fish, get me that weapon, I'm going along with this one."

Mai'ngor nods. "The three of us, then."

"Can your people find secret passage for those that will ambush your daughter?" asks Hunter of Ploopploopeen, before the kuo-toa leave.
Mar 25, 2016 3:46 pm
"We could possibly enchant you with minor illusions to hide your true identities and you could hide amongst the crowds. Would that be sufficient?"
Mar 25, 2016 3:52 pm
Sarith looks very unhappy about this whole thing, while Stool looks as terrified as a mushroom can. You all hear a voice in your head, which you recognize as Stool ::Where do you want me to be?::

"I'll be in the crowd, thank you very much," Sarith says.

"I should be able to blend in with the crowd, though i won't be any help in a fight," Shuushar speaks up.

"Stool, you can remain with me," Hunter says aloud for the benefit of others. "If what the kuo-toa says is true, we should not be bothered when we're under their custody." As she extends her hand to the myconid sprout, she thinks, ::At the very worst, we could flee together in the chaos::
Mar 28, 2016 1:44 pm
With that, Ploopploopeen and his entourage take their leave, "We will be back soon," he says.
OOC:
I'll give you a little bit of time if you wanted to talk without the Kuo-Toa around to hear you
Mar 28, 2016 2:38 pm
"My plan for this is straight forward," Soliin says, shrugging as the Kuo-Toa leave. "I'm going to try to sneak in as close as I can, and take her out in one hit if I can. Two if it becomes necessary."
Mar 29, 2016 12:13 am
"I have a tiny amount of magical power left in me," says Hunter. "Used most of it in fighting off the followers of the Deep Father, but I've got something for this kuo-toa priestess."
Mar 29, 2016 12:52 am
"You go after her and I'll see about keepin' the others busy!" Elfog says with a grin.
Mar 29, 2016 1:04 am
Hunter snorts. "You give me too much credit," she says, deriding her own abilities. "We ought to focus on her together and cut off the head of this sect. Gods know she might have some resistance to the arcane thanks to this entity they worship."
Mar 29, 2016 1:19 am
Elfog ponders what Hunter has said and after a moment responds, "Aye! Kill the leader and maybe the rest of the lot will just give in."
Mar 29, 2016 12:19 pm
Mai'ngor stands with his arms crossed, deep in thought. He turns to Shuushar. "Do you trust this archpriest, Shuushar? Will he keep his word after we've slain his daughter and rid your home of this rival faction?"
Mar 29, 2016 12:59 pm
"I see no reason why he should not. You will be heroes to my people," Shuushar confirms.

Stool settles in next to Hunter for a rest. Soon he is sleeping soundly.

Jimjar yawns and lays his head down on a nearby rock, "I'm going to take a nap. Wake me when they get back, will ya?"
Mar 29, 2016 1:04 pm
Finding the least uncomfortable spot that he can find, Elfog will plop down and get a bit of rest. "Them fish did a little more damage than I had thought..."

EDIT: Another hit die.

Rolls

Hit Die #1 - (1d12+4)

(5) + 4 = 9

Hit Die #2 - (1d12+4)

(3) + 4 = 7

Ploopploopeen returns a couple of hours later, supplies in hand. In the hands of one of the Kuo Toa, Elfog sees a very familiar greataxe, which the creature hands over wordlessly. You recognize it instantly as the axe that your clan leader gave to you. Another one walks up to Hunter and hands her a staff to use as an arcane focus. To Soliin he hands a small crystal with what appears to be fog inside of it.

"This is the best that we could do on short notice, I hope it is sufficient," the archpriest says as he returns, then turns to Soliin, "Smash this on the ground and it will release a large cloud of smoke."
OOC:
Elfog, feel free to name your axe and provide an awesome backstory. The better the backstory, the better the axe ;)

Hunter accepts the staff with a nod. She holds onto her spell components as a backup, keeping the cured leather within her robes and the copper wire wrapped around her ear. Hunter inspects the staff as the party mills about, admiring the workmanship while mentally extending her power through it.
