Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
"Let's cut the bridge to here from the pen we were in or at least start on that. I would like whoever is combat or spell capable to come along for our next objective. Maybe food should be the priority, we have enough people to gather food."

Dustin looks to see if there is any drow activity about.

"Would still like to try and get peoples things back. Maybe even put down some of them."

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Topsy and Turvy will set about that action if you ask them. It will leave you with a single means of entry to this tower, the bridge that runs up by the waterfall to the massive stalactite. Eldreth informs you that the giant stalactite is where the mistress keeps her chambers as well as the temple.

OOC:
How many guards? Perhaps we should simply ambush them when they arrive?

"Who is with me ? I am heading for the temple, the waterfalls mist and sound should help hide us. Have those crossbows ready."

"Topsy, Turvy if you see drow headed this way from the other direction you might have to cut that bridge too. Jim Jar, Cemos, Fang, Eldrith, Bildaweer how about we try the temple the others gather food. If your not going to fight or gather food you might want to lower people down on the ropes. Tie them securely and lower them quickly."

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Historically there've been 2 guards on duty here. Sometimes a stronger drow with a regular one, sometimes double regular drow. Ambush is an option if you can get everyone into the armory and quiet.

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Dustin will have Topsy and Turvy hold off on cutting the bridge just yet. If they already started he will have them stop.
"We might be able to ambush the new guard when it shows. If we are to try this everyone but those who are going to fight should head up in the armory and get real quiet."
OOC:
Thanks didnt know how many guard watched us.

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Before moving, Stool shudders, covering you all with his telepathic spores. Everyone looks about, seeming a bit scared about the idea of an ambush, but scamper up the ladder they do. With all the gear off the racks, it's a matter of a few seconds to get everything pushed clear and everyone seated.

Hopefully this helps friends! We can be quiet and still talk!

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Good idea Stool. Alright let's put these crossbows to good use.
He passed around the poison to the others to use on their bolts.

They have to come across a bridge so we need to cover the bridges. Even so Dustin makes sure Stool is as hidden as can be and has the cover of the place.

Do you want to let them reach here before the ambush ? Or use the crossbow bolts ?
OOC:
Does the armory have a view of the bridges ?

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Cemos walks over to the most likely point of entrance for the guards and with sword and shield in hand he reads himself for combat.

I imagine cemos has his back against the wall near the entrance of the Tower ready to pop around and block any guards that might come in. Almost like a shield wall.

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
OOC:
The poison is enough to cover 1 case of bolts. You have 20 poisoned bolts. The armory has no view of anything. The only visibility is the bridge and the slave pen door from the door of the guard post. Anything that happens in the tower is largely invisible to those outside.

Re: Chapter 1: Prisoners of the Drow
Dustin will prepare for the ambush as well wanting to strike from surprise.

He quietly turns over one of the tables to use as cover.

What spells do you have prepared? Remember that you don't have access to material components necessarily and you dn't have your focus back yet.
