Chapter 3 - Revelations

"Wooow- wooow!" Hazel intones raising her paws in a calming way. "Hold there for a minute." As the only mouse in here who had faced the horrors of the skeletons, the brown furred archer isn't keen on standing tiny claw to bony toe again with those grim bastards. Better to keep thinking about it a few more moments, before having to do that!

"The courtyard contains just two entrances, as fare as we know. We lock and block those." the rivermouse begins to explain her idea. Then continues:
- go upstairs to the windows/balconies,
- let us hide and be really quiet until the necromouser has left the shed,
- throw a net on Mr. Filmon when he leaves the shed and tie him up as good as possible,
- if the skeletons appear, throw at them the oil flasks and some torches.
&
- keep water at hand; just in case. (A clever mouse learns from her tree-burning mistakes!)

The safety of the four balcony windows towards the yard would greatly improve their chances to get out of this unharmed, while still providing enough access to shoot and throw at anyone in the small garden. When the owner is caught, they can solve this mysterie most likely.

The sole flaw Hazel sees at the moment is, that if Mr. Filmon notices that something isn't right, he could run back into the shed and turn this whole situation against them by barricading inside the shed and what lies below.

"But no plan is fool-proofed and a mouse has to seize chance by its ears and ride it like its stolen!" the young adventurer calls out.

"That sounds like one of those old 'best laid schemes o’ Mice' of which we hear tell, Hazel! I'm with you on that - and will take up station on one of those balconies with the net.

I'm a wee bit shaken and battered from some of our recent unpleasantnesses here, so am better off out of reach of any skeletons...

And as a sparrow rider I know a thing or two about throwing nets down on our foes from above!"

Bay is talking with the others about what they're going to try here - and as it becomes clear that this would work better if she went up on the shed and dropped the net from above she's like

"Alright! You know what? Bring it! Meek mice never got nowhere with monsters like this!"

Bay is returning to her fired-up wrathful self - she's gonna be up there on that shed roof, and she is going to drop that net DOWN on that Filmon-shaped piece of excrement and if that doesn't work she's going to drop DOWN on him herself, trident raised and ready...!

Sky has stayed out of the discussion. She trusts Bay and Hazel to come up with a plan that considers their skills perfectly. She also is very aware of her firends' exhaustion after their latest adventures with the ancient pirate, so she let's them choose. As they start to get ready, she nods and adds:

"I shall be in the courtyard then and make sure Filmon doesn't dig himself in.""Sky has a sinister expression on her face. I'll climb atop the shed and when the door opens, I will jam something into the door or the hinge to keep it from closing properly. Then I'll fight the bastard with everything I've got ... if it comes to that. First I'd really like to know what has happened to the heir of this place and about the contents of Filmon's necro-box-...-thing."

"LET'S DO THIS!" thinks Bay to herself...!

EDIT oops that shouldhave been with 2D20l1 not 2D20h1!
EDIT And/but it's a 2 so er maybe Bay's first success of the game heh!

"The time of demands has passed, Mr Filmon." Sky jumps down the short way towards the necromouser and tightens the net. While she immediately looks for scrolls or weapons on the indignant mouse, she says: "The Whiskerweave Enclave might not be pleased, but you see ... we need answers - once and for all."

Sky lets her right hand glide towards the hilt of her sword.
"You do not have to cooperate, of course. I am sure we can grant you the same mercy others have granted young Blossom. Your choice, Filmon." Her luminous eyes fix on Filmon's with a focused, albeit slightly eerie stare.

If it would give Sky advantage on the WIL roll, Bay would jump down from the shed to try and restrain Filmon further, to make the thrashing less, to make it easier for Sky to work out what's on the tablets.

But if that'd be a STR save then Bay won't do it (given they have 0 HP).

Bay jumps down from the roof of the shed and pulls the dagger and the scrolls away from Filmon, and hands them over to Sky.

Staying vigilant in her archers nest, Hazel has her bow at the ready and takes care that there are no bad surprises sprung on their team.
