Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

Nar has a thought, "I wonder if this stuff burns..." He punches Grok, then rides closer to the dead zone to smell the poisoned area.
"Step back from the water a bit..." he requests of his party. Dismounting, he approaches some of the dead animals and pushes his small knife across piece of flint from his tinder box toward the soggy ground to see what would happen, hoping that since he's only sparking a damp bit of dirt it would be a controlled flame rather than setting the whole lake ablaze.

OOC:

does the barrel appear to have been drained of it's contents, or is there value in pulling it from the side of the watering hole? [/

[ooc]oops! Never mind -- it looks like we already left!

The dead animals don't burn.

Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

Owen is able to keep track of the wagon tracks, though the heavy downpour obscures them in some places, he picks them back up later on. By there placement of the hooves, he can tell that the animal must be taking small steps, and should not be going very quickly.

By noon, you have reached the first lumps on the edge of the Untamed Hills. The wagon track leads into a valley, and Owen is convinced that you must be close to the wagon driver. A nearly steaming pile of house scat confirms the time.

Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

If we are catching up to this villain should we tie up our horses and approach on foot to catch them by surprise?

Cyrind'ae takes a good look of the party.

"That sounds like a good plan, however won't the clanking of heavy armor give us away nonetheless?"

OOC:

Are there any sort of any aid another bonus/mechanic in 5th edition so we can help those in heavy armor sneak better?

OOC:

PHB 175: "To make a group ability check, everyone in the group makes the ability check. If at least half the group succeeds, the whole group succeeds. Otherwise, the group fails." (quote is from Reddit, haven't double checked the PHB to make sure it actually says that, haha.)

Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

"We could do that, or have half of us sneak up and the others approach directly. That way we could surround them and ambush if it turns ugly. If we are lucky maybe they will surrender." Owen suggests.

OOC:

I'm a bit confused, have we actually found the drivers?

Owen also continues following the cart's trail.

@Nikcollini No, you only know that they passed into the valley before you a very short time ago.

Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

Jhishma analyzes: "Kelvin, Owen and Cyrind'ae could likely sneak up on our quarry unnoticed and get the drop on 'em. But then what? Either the quarry - an unknown number of wagon riders - turns on our scouts and battle ensues without the aid of Nar, Grok and me; or our quarry runs and Kelvin, Owen and Cyrind'ae pursue alone or come back and get us to now follow a wary quarry."

The paladin looks to each in turn. "I ain't apologizin' for my plate armour, but it seems best to me if we all just proceed together and try as well as we can to be quiet."

"If we feel we have the time, and one or more of you is willing, then you could scout ahead to get some intel on our wagon riders and report back without engaging."

"Or, we could put spurs to the horses and charge the bastards. Just sayin'..."

In a more serious tone, "Actually, us armor clad types could do that and draw their attention, while you stealthier types flank them and get them in a vise. But, I'll defer to cooler heads..."

"I'mma not wearin' no armor. Can be quiet like as long as there ain't no fighting. Hard to fight quiet. Just lemme' know where you want Grok. Sneak or fight the same by me"

"A Calvary charge does sound romantic. It gives us the mobility to flee if we bite off more than we can chew as well.. with a web or grease spot to slow pursuers that is." Kelvin says with a wink

OOC:

I honestly don't know if you can cast spells from horseback but if you can that would be awesome.

Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

"We should probably wait until we catch up with them first before discussing strategies. Depending on where we catch up with them the terrain might not lend itself to a cavalry charge... Nor would that be an option if we realize they've just went into some cave they're using as a hideout..."

"...which circles back to the idea of sending scouts ahead for a little reconnaissance..."

Grok shuffles impatiently in the saddle, restless, but defering to the authority of the Paladins.

Re: Gameplay 2 - Deranged Poisoner

"OK. Recon it is. Owen, how far would you estimate the wagon to be based upon the scat? We'll give you double that time plus 5 minutes recon before we either expect you back, or assume the worst. We also need a signal if you need us to charge in."

He moves his horse near Jhishma's, in the non stealthy camp.
