I mean if I got a nat 20 making a disguise for Kaa... Everything is possible xD

On what Hilmar knows so far on the charm powers of the man in the golden mask (whether these are properties of the mask or not is another question) see Len's post from the end of chapter 1 below.If so then we have the masks as well, but Kaa is 7ft tall and Euphoria 4ft 9. We could try out the disguise and see if Kaa can stoop. If Kaa and Euphoria were in the middle of the group so they do not come in for close inspection it might be enough to get past guards to get close to Gardren. An alternative might be Pitrio's earlier idea for the rest of us to pretend to be Night Blades with Kaa as a prisoner, or even Kaa and Euphoria as prisoners.

Yeah that would work, Euphoria could disguise herself as some fancy noble if needed, IDK if that noble is a tiefling or a human but that false identity was intended from the very beginning.

Don't forget to roleplay forming a plan.

Good point :)

Hey folks, got caught up with stuff today! Will help you formulate that plan soon :) feel free to list any more questions or concerns you have for me in the meantime.

I thought of another question about disguising ourselves: would we be limited to carrying items that we could reasonably conceal? I assume that all of our adventuring gear is more than what a Night Blade would typically be expected to have on his person.

The Night Blade uniforms consist of cloak and hood, and a lot could be concealed underneath.

While it makes sense to divvy up the gear into a feasible loadout that could hide under the cloak, we can forego that for the sake of efficiency. If you'd like to say "I leave my pack behind" we will assume important items have been brought along without having to list them exhaustively.

Okay — I'm happy to not worry about it, if you don't think we need to.

Sounds like the plan is fully formed so I pulled the trigger on moving forward. If you have an unanswered question because I jumped the gun, feel free to ask here.

Hilmar and Alfrey will be the ones doing the interacting, but the "prisoners" are welcome to help sell the story to grant them advantage to their deception skill checks coming up! Prisoners are welcome to give a performance or deception check to sell their prisoner status.

Astroloma, feel free to post as well! If you want, Naeris can be active from the shadows as well.

Quick question - what are those wooden things on the map? Benches, tables? Random rubble? Anything notable about the room?

Whoops I forgot to paste in the room description! Thanks!

Updated the post with more details. The wooden things are sections of support beams that have collapsed and are being used as benches. You might be able to use them as cover if a fight breaks out.

Maybe Hilmar or Alfrey could interrupt Euphoria's speech and threaten her or something?

That's an option!

So yeah, please tell me if that was too much so I could avoid such things in the future! You can do that here or in private messages if you wish :^

I myself think it is fine, do not worry! 😁

You're good. All it does is add flavor, and I'm all in favor of that.

Your post was great :)

Me too - I thought it was good. Long posts are not a problem for me :)
