Oliver gets his bat ready, and takes his time to get out something from his bag.

"Eh, it looks like we have plenty of time anyway. Aha! Here it is."

He produces two vials of purple swirling liquid.

"It's Deepshade. We could spray them and send them down to Dream's land for an hour. They'll even wake up before their party comes back, and be too embarrassed to admit they fell asleep. Best if they don't see our faces at all, so I agree it's you two little ones who are best fit to it."
[ +- ] Deepshade
OOC:
I'm not sure whether I should have three vials or two vials. I gave one to Felix before he left, and right now there are two written in my inventory.

Edit: Just checked. I have two in total, assuming Felix gave the potion back before leaving.

Ealdwig takes one vial. Not a bad idea. Grin and I will wonder over arguing about being lost. Which will get us close. Then we can spray them. Sounds good to me. Grin? Slight pause, anyone have something that will look like a map we can carry around?

OK, a couple things:

1) I am good with two vials. Let's go!

2) Remember: It is absolutely dark. No one outside Yoci has darkvision. You can fumble your way towards them (which could help with the distraction), but you will throw/spray the vials with Disadvantage unless you have Darkfighter or you have some kind of light that will let you see them. If you have light, then it will be a Standard roll. You may use Focus.

As an aside, I find it kinda interesting that pretty much the only standard player heritage (in the official book, anyway) that has Darkvision is Dwarf.

This is interesting!
Right, let’s do this! Let’s sneak over first, and then surprise them with your light in their faces, then we ask them questions and throw the vials… I really gotta pee… did I just think that out loud? Nevermind - if we call for help, please come help.

"Grinfletch! if you need help to pee you need to see the healer next time we are in town, you need to take care of yourself" Brewner communicates with a concerned expression

I don't think I have enough to work with yet. Give me what you are attempting to do, and a roll and we'll get to the next step.

Ok so we're hiding in a dead end cave and the "guards" are at the mouth of this cave, which leads to a cavern or tunnel. They are sitting / standing and talking. Definitely, not looking this way. correct? And we can't see at all, nothing?

How does the potion work? Do we pour it on them? Throw it? Break it? I assume it's not an aerosol can. Is the opening of the vial large enough to toss it in their face like a you see in movies?
Ok Grin, how do we navigate over there without light? I have the Chromacloth with has dim light, but they'll see that immediately. Then we have to explain why we're in here. Taking a nap? Sounds dumb and dangerous, but it might get us close to them. We just need to get close right?

Pausing to think.

Maybe we can make a noise and have them come in here. We can encircle them and chloroform them.
OOC:
Or whatever the fantasy term is for that...

Let’s try to sneak over there in the dark and surprise them with the light, then toss these vials at them and hope it puts them out.
OOC:
Does this make sense?

OOC:
We could just toss the vials and hopefully put them both to sleep, we probably going to need light to see them and hit them with the vials

OOC:
Just for the record, I am watching this. When you make your rolls, I'll launch into the next piece.

OOC:
let’s try to sneak and if they hear us and come to check it out - we can ambush them?
Grin tries to make his way back out towards the dwarves in the dark. He thinks to the others: I’ve had to grope through the dark in caves without light many times. This should be easy.
OOC:
Post roll-
Uh-oh…

Rolls

Stealth in darkness - (1d6)

Heh ...
Grin tries to sneak along the wall silently, but trips over an unseen protrusion making a notable noise. His training does allow him to not call out or say anything audible.

"What was that!?" says one of the guards.

"I don't know, but we'd better check it out," replies the other guard.

With that, you hear them deliberately advancing down the corridor to your position ...
OOC:
They heard a noise and are carefully investigating. They don't know what made the noise since Grin's training kept him from saying anything by accident. So, how are you going to handle them? Let's toss some virtual dice!

Grin thinks to all the others: oops - They’re coming - get ready to shine all lights on them, then we can toss the vials at them.

Ealdwig readies the vial waiting for the light. Hopefully, he doesn't trip over Grin or the protrusion in the process.

Give me some Standard Test rolls from whomever is going to ignite the lights.

Then give me some Standard Test rolls from whoever is throwing/spraying the vials. Depending on the success of the first rolls, these might become Disadvantaged, but this keeps the options all open.

Grin focuses and prepares to throw his vial.
OOC:
No roll yet - I’ll wait for the lights

Maybe we should let Wreak and Havok walk out.
