Reclaiming Paphos

Skeeve has another idea. Are there any hobgoblin cloaks or such for the guards? It might be just enough of a cover to get back to the well.

We gotta find the chest first, however. Arc and Kaarik on one side of the illusion, and Skeeve and Aizashi on the other. In the search, there was a ruined area. Can we look through it well enough, or is it effectively on the outside?

Are we technically out of combat now, or are we still effectively in combat due to the time crunch. Skeeve wants to start healing everyone. Skeeve also grabs the key, pendant, vials, and gold. He'll have the team grab more if we have time and find the chest quickly enough.

Also, Skeeve will loot the mage if he gets the chance. If not, he's taking the cloak and staff at a minimum.

And where is our undead friend? We need him to get looking, too, and he should be able to check areas we can't.

If no one else detects them, Skeeve identifies the magical items for everyone. He takes the items already identified, plus the silver, amethyst, playing cards, and the mage's dagger, gloves, and staff. He wants us to take as much of the magic items as we can efficiently carry, plus the silver and gold. The only non-magical things Skeeve takes is the deck of playing cards, amethysts, and money. He skips the copper (too much weight for no return). He is just making sure as much as possible is taken, not that he is claiming anything right now. He does recommend that Kaarik use the leather armor as it is magic and likely usable. There is a risk, of course, but I doubt we can just pack it away if we want to leave with it, and Skeeve isn't giving up his armor for it.

And, again, Skeeve quickly heals everyone.

Oops! Missed that!

Everyone needs to list what they are going to take. I think we should take as many magic items as we can carry, even if we can't use them, as we can sell them to the Expedition for money.

I do think that Aizashi and Kaarik should put on the guards' tunic and cloaks for an attempt at disguise. Won't work up close, but might be enough to give us a few rounds at a distance. Skeeve takes the mage's robes for that. Any suggestions on how to get back out is gladly accepted!

Arc thinks that we should take everything we can, starting with most valuable and useful... We can decide afterwards how to divide it all. Also, Arc has his magic bag that can carry a lot without it weighting much.

Also, just for now, carry it all efficiently, Arc suggest dividing all according to weight. Also magic things should also be divided equally.
As for clothing/disguise, I agree that Aizashi and Kaarik should put on the guards' tunic and cloaks, also Sleeve should put the Mage's tunic and robes.

Arc will try to come up with a weight-efficient division soon.

Uh, how much can that magic bag hold ... ?

Kaarik changes quickly into the guard tunic.

In this case, Kaarik will just take the leather armor. He will wait to be back in the manor to try it though.

Skeeve says, "Let's not worry about divvying up the loot now. Let's just take the magic and money and chest and get out of here as quickly as possible."

He puts on the mage's robe over his outfit and takes the staff. Can Kaarik and Aizashi carry the chest to the well? That leaves Skeeve's hands empty for magic and keeps Arc free so he can fly if he needs to.

But Skeeve is ready to go now with their loot and the chest. Unless anyone has a better path, we're going back through the well.

"I agree we should leave soon, and the well is our best shot. Just for you to know, if we find any danger in our way out, I'll fly up high to distract them so you can run to the well. Just run silently.."

With that, Arc takes what he thinks fits into his magic bag without it's weight compromising his flight:
Large egg x3, short sword, bugbear's a scrap of vellum, Belt and Bracers... hobgoblin's Chainmail (1), longbow, longsword, boots, and cloaks... If those fit the magic bag of course. Except for the longbow which he can carry on one shoulder.

Then he readies to get out with the rest, and walking by the walls' shadows, hopefully get to the well unnoticed.

After donning the hobgoblins coat and tunic he pockets the darts and pull the coats hood over his head. After checking to make sure his fur is covered he grabs one end of the chest ready to go.
