'A rearguard. That is definitely useful.' She looks at the cultist in front of her. 'If we let you go how do I know you aren't going to return to the cult and warn them, or go back to your looting some other way.'

As she asks she hears the others and turns, an expression of upset crossing her face as she sees they are not unharmed. 'I take it from your state it was a success. I apologise for not helping, but when we decided what to do with this one, I can ask Gond to tend to your wounds.'

The cultist considers Octavia’s question for a moment, "Is there really anything that I can say that can convince you that I’m not? All I can give is my word"

OOC:
I could try to charm him, he could lead us to the camp and stay silent while we sneak in
Jun 11, 2020 7:13 pm
OOC:
Just keep in mind that it only lasts an hour and that the target knows it has been charmed

Octavia studies teh cultist, trying to see if he will keep his word.

"Let's just tie him up in the woods and leave him. I don't think we can trust him."

Zachary squints, unsure of the situation.
Every injured creature will try desperate acts to try to save himself. I don't like it, but I am with Kirsk on this one

OOC:
Okay, so if there's no objection from Kel or Octavia, I'll go ahead and assume that you tie him up and leave him here. As you proceed towards the camp, give me perception checks. At least until someone hits a DC 10

Octavia agrees as long as they remember he's there, and he;s hidden so predators can't find him. She alerts everyone about the rearguard, and keeps and eye out for the suggested place as they head towards the camp.

You hide the cultist behind some vegetation growing close to the plateau (he curses at you the whole time). He’s probably as safe as can be here, although in all honesty if a predator of some sort were to come sniffing it might not be enough to save him.

You walk another mile or so, the landscaping flattening a bit before, Octavia, just as he described, the land on either side forms rocky bluffs overlooking the path on either side about 200 yards further ahead. You could feasibly climb up and walk around whatever ambush awaits there or you could try and sneak attack. What would you like to do?

'We should try fight the ambush, try and get the drop on them. Leaving enemies behind us is asking for us to get flanked.

"I could move ahead," Kel suggests. "Trip the trap, so to speak. If I move forward into the ambush. The rest of you could move up high and aid me from above."

Kirsk turns to Kel, "I can't climb or be sneaky. I think I should go in, maybe with Octavia" Kirsk nods to Octavia"and you stay up top. I cannot sneak, but I can draw their attention. If we can take a break to let me catch my breath, I'll be in a much better chance to hold their attention."
OOC:
Since our battle with the Kobalds, have we taken a short break or have we just gone straight?
Jun 13, 2020 7:20 pm
OOC:
Octavia would at least have taken 10 minutes to cast prayer of healing if we didn't short rest.
'Kirsk has a good point. If someone is to be the draw, it should be us two. Though I would want to get out these robes and put on the armour from the village.'
Jun 13, 2020 7:40 pm
OOC:
I’ll say that you had time to take a short rest back there
Jun 14, 2020 9:55 pm
OOC:
Pardon my ignorance. What does a short rest does to us?
Jun 15, 2020 3:28 am
OOC:
Well for a Paladin it lets me reset my Channel Divinity, so I can use my challenge again, or I can do a mass heal (everybody I choose can get some healing). If you are really hurt you can spend hit dice to heal up, or check if any of your character abilities reset after a short or long rest.
Jun 15, 2020 11:15 am
OOC:
Okay, so the plan is for Octavia and Kirsk to walk straight forward and trigger whatever trap they may have, and for Zach and Kel to walk up and assist from above?
Jun 15, 2020 2:43 pm
OOC:
I am up for the plan. Raining spells from above
