Like 'Lil, Caelwyn keeps his gaze locked on the chief's face. He waits to see if her diplomatic efforts pay off. If not, more intimidating tactics may be in order...

He continues to stand and face the halflings, with his spear in one hand and shield in the other.

HALFLING Highlight to display spoiler: {"You would lay spoiled meat at the feet of the mighty Ashurbanipal!?" The little halfling looks ready to faint and rocks on his heels. "How- how many have you brought? Perhaps I can stay the wrath of Ashurbanipal if you have many. A freshly killed prey is worth far more than one with sun-bloat. Quickly, tell me before he grows bored!"}

"He says this is spoiled meat. Fresh meat would be better." Bigby looks at the captured halfling and points at him and says "fresh meat." "He wants to know how many we brought and seems very impatient about all of this."

Haemir grits his teeth and the knuckles on hands holding his crossbow are going white as his grip there tightens too. He dreams of shooting the chieftain in the eye.
"Clearly diplomacy isn't working. Maybe it's time for intimidation...?"

Caelwyn steps forward five paces. His eyes flash as he lifts his spear and points it at the halfling chief. His voice is strong and clear. "Hear my words and consider them carefully. This is no tribute, but a warning. This is what happens when others think us weak! We are warriors, and we are many in number. If you or any of your people should try to attack us again, this is what your can expect. Take back the bodies of your men and do whatever you want with them. Take this one too" - Caelwyn gestures to the captive scout.

He takes another step forward, keeping the spear pointed forward. "You will bring the dwarves to us, unharmed. And if you should ever come near us again, we will slaughter you without mercy!"

The halfling party stands silently, apparently considering your words. The big one, Ashurbanipal, makes a slight gesture and the small one jumps to get closer and listen. They speak for a moment in whispers. The small one turns and speaks with your party.

HALFLING Highlight to display spoiler: {"Ashurbanipal graciously finds your offer acceptable. We will take the dead and the captive."}

The small one makes a forward chopping motion, and four halflings move toward the party, spears held at the ready. They approach carefully until they are within 20 feet. They stop. One of them gestures toward the cart with his spear. They appear ready to take it.

"Wait." Caelwyn stays where he is, and his voice remains strong. "Tell them to bring the dwarves here first. I want to see that they are alive. We will then each send two representatives to meet in between our parties, and make the exchange at the same time. I don't trust these savages to keep their word."

He glances at Bigby. "Don't translate that last part..."

The two scouts sent ahead narrow their eyes and back away slowly. Once they are convinced you will not follow, they turn and lope back toward their main party. They have a brief but heated conversation with their leader. Several voices begin to rise before Ashurbanipal makes a flat gesture with one hand. All talking ceases.

The halfling party begins to withdraw back toward the encampment, keeping an eye on your party all the while. The last halfling diappears behind the screen.

After a few moments, you hear two gates slam shut, followed by a shrill horn being blown from the center of the camp.

Caelwyn sighs. "Fantastic." For one brief moment, he had thought that they would be able to avoid bloodshed.

He closes his eyes briefly and murmurs to himself; "Domi, give me the strength to fight this evil and emerge victorious. Guide our swords and guard us from harm."

His eyes snap open again. "Right, we must expect the worst. It will probably do us no good to run, they know the land better and are equipped to move across this terrain with ease. We will be killed one by one if we flee. Let's find the closest defensible position and prepare to fight. Our only hope of saving the dwarves now is to kill as many of these brutes as possible."

He looks around to see anything resembling cover or a defensible position. (Perception 21)

saddened that no diplomatic solution could be reached Haemir nods in agreement when Caelwyn speaks.
"Let's see what Fand reveals..." he says with a sigh before moving towards his own cover (or crouching in the grass).

Fand circles higher and takes in the whole area.

For the eyes of Jerm-boy and Grant only... Highlight to display spoiler: {You have now withered in the captivity of the halfling cannibals for approximately three days. From what you gather, they call themselves the 'Aliutum.' They are a savage, predatory people that regularly raid their neighbors for captives and stay on the move to avoid reprisal attacks.

You have spent your time in a wicker cage, approximately 10 feet square, with several other captives. Most of the captives have been other halflings, though these have had different tattoos on their faces, marking them as being in different tribes. You surmise that in times of hardship the Aliutum are not above victimizing their own people for sustenance. However, two days ago a raiding party returned with three dwarves. Their dress marked them as outsiders of the Sargrass Plains. They have been drifting in and out of consciousness with severe head injuries.

Yesterday, the Aliutum ate one of the dwarves. Blessedly, he was unconscious when he died. His body was eaten by the tribe. Several hours later, members of the tribe began to fall ill. Over the course of a day, everyone who had eaten the flesh of the dwarf developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and flu-like symptoms. Approximately half of the tribe is now bed-ridden.

The two of you still in your cage with two dwarves and two halflings. The dwarves are unconscious and the halflings have been hog-tied and gagged. You are watered and fed twice a day, but otherwise left alone. There are two guards sitting outside the gate, amusing themselves with dice games. They conscious, but look like death warmed over.

The tribe is current abuzz. The leader, Ashurbanipal, a halfling nearly as big as a human, is barking orders. Slingers and spearman are assembling weapons and stationing themselves at the perimeter wall (approximately 5 feet high). You guess something outside has them alert.}

Grindar, A very tall and muscular Half-Orc, does his best to render aid to the dwarves. Heal 10 but under the circumstances, there isn't much he can do. Grindar thinks to himself, "If only I would have had Succotash teach me the Halfling tongue before he left". He passes the time trying to get to know his fellow prisoners, but since he only knows Orc and Common, and the dwarves are drifting in and out of consciousness, he singles out the only other person he can communicate with (Grant's Character) saying, "I am Grindar, Son of Grindor, under normal circumstances, I would say it was a pleasure to meet you, but since we are in fairly dire circumstances, I will say I wish we had met under better circumstances".

When the commotion starts, Grindar says to Grant's character, "Look alive friend, something is a foot, and if a chance is given for escape, I for one am going to take it!"

Haemir sees the followers of Domi preying and says quietly "It is good to evoke your deity and I respect that, but may I suggest not casting any spells straight away? It may be a while before the battle starts".

As the blue Macaw lands he studies the map Fand is trying to draw, seeing the bird struggle he crouches down and takes over following the directions Fand gives him so as to move faster ... when finished he leans back and studies it.

"I must confess I am surprised they didn't attack us, instead they withdrew inside..." he studies their prisoner a second before asking the halfling "Does that seem normal to you"?

Cursing he remembers the halfling doesn't speak common and asks Bigby to translate.

"Does anyone have any spare daggers"?

Haemir rests the parchment on his knee and takes out a pen and starts to write 'Help Has arrived...' he taps the pen on his chin as he thinks for a moment before continuing:
'We are considerably outnumbered but will do everything we can to help you.
Here are some items to help you.
This whistle can only be heard by some animals (including this bird).
One whistle means you are free or have been able to start an escape.
Two means they are taking one of you out of your cell for nefarious reasons - if we hear this we will start our attack immediately.
Three means you need to send a message - we will send this bird. Her name is Fand.
Fand is able to understand you, I have also left a pen and parchment should you need to write.
We have mapped the camp already.
Are any of you able to cast from scrolls?
Fate willing you will be free shortly and eating a hearty meal back at camp.

Haemir.'

Taking his spell component pouch from his belt he empties the contents in to a pocket and fills the pouch with various items before securing it and passing it to Fand.

"Fand would be so kind as to take this to the prisoners? Be careful".

-- Pouch contents --
A pen that doesn't require any ink refill (works perfectly for a year)
One sheet of parchment (written on).
One blank sheet.
A small folding pocket knife (3 inches long when folded, with one 2.5" blade, and a 1.25" blade)
One dog whistle (Fand and Wolfgang can hear it)

Fand will also carry a dagger in his other claw assuming someone lends one? (carrying capacity for Fand is 17lbs (light)).

(Please note any party amendments - Haemir is willing to adjust the note or contents according to party suggestions)

"Agreed my friend. Which do you think would be easier?"
As an afterthought Haemir adds.
"Technically I think Fand could actually carry my xbow to the prisoners, she's strong enough and I think it would give them - and therefore us - an advantage. After all they won't expect the bolts to come flying at them from behind would they"?
An almost wicked grin breaks out on the elf's face.

Sol watches the others discuss what is happening.

"I am afraid I have very little I can add. The only spells I have available are magic missile and Mage Armour, or cantrips that are Light, Acid Splash and Prestidgitation, and I fail to see how either of those would be useful at this moment."

He looks solemn for a moment, before his usual characteristic smile reappears.

Haemir smiles at Bigby's comment before replying. "Air dropping you is still an option regardless".

To Sol he replies "Both excellent choices never the less Sol, I'm sure they will come in handy".

Taking his xbow he places it on the ground and wraps his lanyard around it securing the bolts within the quiver and the quiver to the weapon.

Placing the pouch over Fands head & the xbow in her claws Haemir checks she is ready. She winks at him and he takes a scroll out & reads it. The blue Macaw transforms in to a very small brown bird. The pouch and xbow disappear from view as well. "Ah Fand... not your glorious usual self, but not bad at all" he leans back admiring his handywork.

When ready (adjusted according to party) Fand flies up high away from the camp along and then down to the cell (Stealth:27) and will drop the pouch in to the prisoners cell with a "Hey pssst..."

Notes:

-- Pouch contents --
A pen that doesn't require any ink refill (works perfectly for a year)
1 blank sheet of parchment
1 sheet of parchment (written on - see above for message)
1 small folding pocket knife (3 inches long when folded, with one 2.5" blade, and a 1.25" blade) - not ideal for combat but may aid escape?
1 dog whistle (Fand and Wolfgang can hear it)

-- Also carrying --
1 heavy xbow (masterwork) with a
1 quiver containing
10 bolts

(Weight 10lbs - Fand also wears her own Armor so total carried is 17lbs - Vs carrying capacity - Light: 24 ¾ lbs. or less / Medium 25–49 ½ lbs / 49 ¾ –97 ¾ lbs).

Scroll used: Disguise Self) which can alter Fands size by up to one foot and effects equipment.

After hearing Fand’s voice, Grindar whispers, “A talking sparrow? I’ve never heard of such a thing”. Then after reading the note, in a whisper he says, “Tell your friends that the whole camp seems to be sick after eating a dwarf, and that my name is Grindar, Son of Grindor. The other dwarves are out of it at the moment, but my friend here (indicating Grant’s character) and I are ready to do what we can to assist in a rescue mission”.

The sparrow listens and nods before adjusting itself and moving around, at which point the mastercrafted heavy xbow & bolts appear as soon as they leave her grip. Taking another look around she says "Wait for the commotion to start & good luck" before takeing off (Stealth: 28) flying up and away in an opposite direction and circling back around to land next to Haemir.

"Well done Fand. How are they doing"? the elf asks.
"The cannibals have eaten one of the Dwarves already...". Heading this Haemir grits his teeth and grimaces.
"But that made them sick" the 'sparrow' continues. "There is a HUGE half-orc in the cage, even his muscles have muscles, says his name is Grindar, son of Grindor and he is definitely rewdy for a fight! But the other dwarves look too exhausted, in fact they didn't look good at all. There was someone else in there too, but I couldn't see much of them from where I was".

Haemir reaches in his pocket and holds some seeds out for Fand who jumps up on to his hand and starts pecking at them.
"Thanks again friend" he says before looking around the party.
"Ideas? Shall we pick a spot and help each other over the wall? With covering fire from those with ranged weapons. Fand may be able to carry you Bigby. How much does Wolfgang weigh?"

"I think wolfgang might weigh too much for fand. He's more than double my weight. Sorry Wolfie. Just throw me over and lets see what happens. Has Fand checked out what kind of lock system we are dealing with on the gate?" Bigby makes a perception roll to see how big the walls and gate are. (10) "looks big from where I'm standing." Bigby doesn't add that everything looks big from where he stands.

Caelwyn also takes a look at the walls and gate to gauge their size and strength. (Perception 21)

He always considered himself tall at 6', but Xel'Aw has to look up to see Grindar's eyes nearly a head higher. Xel'Aw watches the large orc, as if waking from a stupor or deep sleep. "Oh, my head hurts something awful."

He observes their situation for a bit in silence, watching the sparrow and orc whisper. "Nice to meet you Grindar, I'm Xel'Aw and I have to say that the circumstances are rather fascinating. We could be eaten at any moment and that gives me a strange fear. To see death in our near future... then in Aklo:

Highlight to display spoiler: { Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.}

"That is, we don't choose the hour of our death, but let's not hasten it if we can prevent it."

Then Xel'Aw focuses intently on the jailers (perception 16). "If the key is left unattended, I will use a mage hand to summon it to us."

"If that doesn't work, I'll yell out that you bit me and intend to eat me, I bet they would prefer to be the ones doing that and doubt you're the sort to eat other sentients. I'll use a little prestidigitation on my shirt and turn it blood red and holler out as if in pain (bluff 15). Think you can take two of them head-on, unarmed? They look sickened to me."

Looking to Xel’Aw, Grindar says, “Maybe if you’re ready with that crossbow the sparrow gave us, you can shot one before I get to them, then I’ll attempt to knock them out, so we can get to our gear”. “I like the mage hand idea, and hope it works, though if I had my tools, I maybe able to pick the lock, anyway, I think we can attempt the play act, as a last resort, though if dwarf made them sick, who knows what half-orc or Drow will do to them, and they may be hesitant to try us out”.

Haemir successfully uses disguise self to smuggle Fand and a selection of equipment to the prisoner cage in the center of the camp.

OOC: Grindar, I will need a Sleight of Hand check (with a -4 penalty due to size) to keep the equipment out of view of the guards.

Fand is happy to sketch a rough map of the encampment. He scratches a claw in the dirt. He relates that the walls and gates are made of tightly-woven wicker with mud reinforcement. In the hot Sargrass sun, it is almost as solid as stone. The gates are on a simple hinge, with numerous boulders rolled into place to prevent opening.

ROUGH SKETCH MAP

Fand expains that the encampment is an oval, with nine small tents and one big tent in the center. A wicker cage (double circle) is nearby. Inside the wicker cage are a half-orc, a drow, two dwarves, and two halflings. Between the big tent and the entrance closest to you is a bonfire/butchering area (currently not in use). All of the X's are halflings he was able to spot.

Xel'Aw takes a look at the jailers to look for a key, but notices that the cage does not have a lock. It has a latch inside an open enclosure facing away from the cage. You could likely reach the latch, if the openings in the wicker were small enough for your hands. The openings in the wicker cage are about the size of an egg. Fand was barely able to fit through. You could fire a bolt through the openings, but you cannot currently fit a hand through and you do not have line of sight to the latch. You could try making a hole bigger, but that could possibly make noise...

"New plan, how about I pull their dice, or cards, or whatever they're gambling with, when they get close, fire the bolt through the hole in the cage.

Grindar does his best to conceal the care package delivered by Fand, sleight of hand 17 then he asks, "Do you think your mage hand would work on the latch, if not do the distraction thing, either way the guards should come a running, and I'll try to shoot one, or if the door is open, I'll charge them."

OOC: Yea, I took full advantage of the slowdown. I needed a break. Back now, though, and you folks have given me a small book to catch up on. Welcome, Grant and Jeremy!

***

'Lil goes over a checklist in'er head. Job 1 was rescuing hostages. Job 2 was making sure these halflings knew that messin' with her and hers was a bad idea. With thems bein' sick, it was a good time to strike, but even sick the little guys outnumbered them 3-1, and those two on the inside were still stuck in a cage.

"We don't gotta kill all 25'a them. Maybe we just go in and take out their leader?"

The gates, do they open inward or outwards?

Tuesday January 8th, 2019 11:15:09 AM
After Fand nibbles her seeds Haemir breaks the silence: "Fand, what was the cage like"?

"It was made of grass but it was like steel, with only small gaps. I was just able to drop the pouch in. The cage was latched on the outside, no lock. I might be able to open it but it would probably alert the guards. Also, I wasn't able to fit the xbow in the gap so they will have to get out to reach it. I left it on the roof".

Haemir thinks for a second or two.
"They are probably unarmed, I very much doubt the halflings would be dozey enough to lock them up with weapons. Does anyone have any daggers? I'll send Fand back with whatever we can muster. Stay with them and help if you can"

"I can use Mage Armour on Bigby if that would help? Other than that I will follow you in once we are ready to attack."

He holds his staff firmly, waiting and fairly obviously on edge about the coming battle.

Caelwyn's eyes narrow at the mention of a half orc and a drow, but he makes no comment on that yet.

"We still have our prisoner, yes? Can we ask him what their leader would think of an invitation to single combat? I could challenge him, perhaps provoke him into coming out to fight, and if I win he must set the prisoners free."

'Lil - The gates open inward.

Haemir, Grindar, Xel'Aw - Due to a retcon, the crossbow is now sitting on top of the cage. You have two daggers in addition to the previous equipment.

Xel'Aw - Unfortunately, ALL of your gear is in the chest. You are currently in your skivvies.

The rest of the party continues to strategize. You can hear the Aliutum shouting inside the encampment.

Haemir ponders the paladins words before answering, "Challenging him Caelwyn isn't a bad idea at all. It may just serve as a distraction or it might even work. Worse case scenario he ignores it..."

Turning to Fand he says, "Fand, would you mind scouting again? Stay high and if you think you can be of any assistance try to help Grindar and the others, see if you can open the cell or try to distract the guards and give them a chance to open it themselves... be careful my friend[/b]" he strokes the 'sparrow' before feeding it another seed. It spreads its wings and takes to the air. ([i]Stealth:13 - although technically if a sparrow is tiny that should be 17). Circling high above the camp for now.

Grindar blows the dog whistle to summon Fand. When the "sparrow" arrives, he asks if him if he thinks he can lift the latch, if so he would ask him to do so, then get away as fast as he can fly, as things will get dicey as soon as the door opens. Grindar lets Fand and Xel'aw know he is willing to take the guards out unarmed if needed.

Hearing the whistle (which Wolfgang will also) Fand swoops down to land on the cage (Stealth:20 ignore the second roll I hit it twice). Peeking through the whole she listens to Grindar and then pokes her beak in to answer "Good plan. But wait a minute, the Paladin is gonna challenge their leader to combat, might distract them, oh yeah don't forget to blow the whistle when you start to escape so they know."

She watches the guards and waits for the perfect moment

'Lil rolls her eyes just a little. "Aye, typical paladin. Who says they's gonna honor the agreement even if they lose? Still, not the worst idea anyone's ever had. Might work. You wanna do it, go do it. I'll be here ready to charge in and start thumpin' when they inevitably betray us."

Sol chuckles at Lil's rather... cynical view.

"Well then I will remain prepared for if combat should arise."

He speaks to Caelwyn

"If single combat is the way you want to go, you are welcome to attempt it, however I see no reason to believe that they will honour it, as Lady Lil has said. They have already attacked us while unarmed and we were asleep, I do not see why they would agree to a bargain they could lose. It would however, as Master Haemir said, server perhaps as a distraction."

Caelwyn braces himself to challenge Ashurbanipal to single combat.

Fand tilts her head placing it against a gap to listen, then pops her beak through to answer Grindar... "Oh I have no illusions it'll work. Can of you lot use scrolls? We have a cure, spectral hand and I think it's a shield of faith I can bring, if I remember right. Anyway they're on special this week - only two handfuls of seeds each. Just so you know the daggers, and xbow mean you owe me three already. I just thought I'd warn you because I don't want you over stretching your means".

(Studying the latch - would it be possible to hook something over it and pass the end through a gap so Grandar can open it himself when ready? Something like a belt or Haemirs lanyard? Fand will also be watching the guards if she sees any lapse she will consider trying to unlatch it.)

The bird listens and answers "There's a xbow on the roof don't forget... Ok I'll go get some scrolls, wait for me..."

(flying straight up and around - not obviously back to the group - Stealth:20).

Haemir spots the bird and holds out an arm.
"How goes it Fand"?

The 'sparrow' adjusts itself before answering: "One of them can use scrolls. Shall I take em? The big fella is gonna use the daggers, Maybe the other one will use the xbow? I'll go back and wait"

"Ok we will blow the normal whistle when we are attacking, help them however you can"!
Taking his 'Cure Light Wounds' scroll and 'Shield of Faith' he folds them and tucks them into Fands armour.
The bird takes off circles around all the while climbing working his way high over the cell...

Caelwyn smiles at his colleagues. "I agree, who is to say they will honor their word? I doubt it." His eyes narrow as he stares at the gate. "But maybe seeing their great leader gutted like a fish will help them to see reason. Prepare the attack, just in case they don't keep their word."

He looks over at 'Lil: "Sent up a message to the Big Guy for me, will you, sister? And Bigby, would you kindly translate for me?"

Caelwyn strides forward, spear and shield in hand, longsword at his side, until he is about 50 paces from the gate. He calls out clearly, so they can hear inside the camp, and raises his spear as he does so.

"How inspiring! A leader who is fit for nothing but cowering behind his walls, like a helpless animal trapped in its den! Come out Ashurbanipal, if you have even a shred of courage, and face me! Face the wrath of a servant of Domi, and prove that you are actually worthy to lead these warriors! I challenge you to single combat, you gutless worm. And if I win, you will release the prisoners to us and never harm our people again! Come now, let us all see whether you are a leader - or a craven!"

Fand makes repeated trips between the party and the prisoner's cage. None of the Aliutum spot him.

The rest of the party prepares as Caelwyn marches forard. He stops 50 feet in front of the main gate and bellows out his challenge.

Ashurbanipal pokes his head above the wall on the right side of the main gate. He regards Caelwyn silently for a few moments, then makes a chopping motion forward.

He ducks down, and six heads pop up! In a flash, a half-dozen slings whirl in the air and loose stones at Caelwyn. (all misses) You can see them earnestly reloading.

OOC: The latch on the gate spins, and a tether would apply lateral force. Fand could easily open it, but rope or belt would not work.

Xel'Aw, hearing the commotion (perception 23) begins trying to get his hand through the hole to reach for the latch, trying not to draw the guards' attention (sleight of hand 6) but not being especially good about it. Perhaps the guards will be distracted from the commotion," he thinks.

FRIDAY POST

OOC: For clarification, while Caelwyn has approached within 50 feet of the gate, the rest of the party is about 150 feet away.

Caelwyn, would you like to just stand there while the rest of the party moves forward?

Xel'Aw tries the open the latch, but is noticed by a guard! One of the halfling guards grabs a spear and starts yelling at you while making jabbing motions at your hand. He seems to be threatening you to cut it out. He does not appear to see Fand.

Grindar grabs Xel'Aw's hand and pulls it out of the way just before the guard has a chance to stab it, saying "Well that didn't go according to plan! I guess it's time for plan b, Fand please open the latch". If Fand opens the latch, he will kick the door open, drawing the two daggers out of hiding, and ready an action to attack the 1st halfling to come into range, otherwise, he will continue to wait, growing more impatient by the minute.

Xel'Aw starts invoking his mage hand on pebbles and loose dirt around the guards, tossing it and scattering it their way from different directions away from the cage, seeking to distract hoping they don't see him his castings in the cage, but the verbal and somatic components likely give away the spellcasting and after being hostage and food, is content to merely annoy them away from their posts as the battle begins.

Haemir's eyes widen as Bigby starts to walk forward like he doesn't have a care in the world. Then they quickly flick to the Paladin who - for a brief second - appears as if he's just standing there waiting to be killed... Shaking his head he mutters to himself "Impatience is going to get everyone killed... if we don't act soon.". Blowing the whistle he had been rolling around in his hand nervously he drops it and shouts: "On me..."

A part of him thinks they will probably all die, but inaction and indecision would be more of a bane than this he hopes. He mutters an incantation and then grabs one of the halflings bodies, hoisting it in front of himself (like a shield) he starts to advance, picking up speed.

They were going to be his last words he concluded ... "Maab, I love you..." he couldn't think of much else to say... he wanted to say that's he loved his mother too, but that's was a lie, he'd never known her...

- Actions -
Movement: grabbed a halfling corpse as a shield.
Standard: casts 'Shield of Faith' (succeeded arcane check).
Movement: 5' - Next round will probably be in medium weight so sprinting will be 80' per round.

Meanwhile, Fand hearing the whistle looks down in to the cage & whispers "Now" When the moment presents itself (in whatever form) she drops down on to the latch (Stealth: 32) & attempts to open the cage (Strength: 15).

If possible, (not sure where the cage door is) Grindar will take a 5 ft step, up to the closest halfling, and make a full round attack, thanking Xel'Aw for the fine words of encouragement. Otherwise, he will move up to the closest halfling, and attack once, thanking Xel'Aw in the process.

Sol moves forward with the rest of the party (as they move forward) then if he get's a clear shot, flings an acid splash at one of the enemies.

Attack Roll - 5
Damage - 2

Bigby will run up to the gate with everyone else.

'Lil charges along with everyone else, raising Ramona over her head and bringing it slamming down on the gate's lock/bar, doing 10 damage before subtracting any hardness.

Xel'Aw starts performing witty limerick.
Haemir continues moving toward the gate.

You can see that the gate is a simple affair, and can be easily lifted by two people (ooc: two people, standard action)

Grindar steps forward and slashes at a halfling with his daggers, killing him before he knows what is happening.

Sol moves forward.

Bigby moves forward.

'Lil moves forward. She tries to swing her hammer to break a lock, but sees that the gate is gravity-powered and just rests in a slot.

The halflings in the camp begin to move. Many of them appear very sluggish and slow. Two of them attack Grindar.

Attack 4, miss
Attack 16, hit (you are currently without your armor), damage 3

"Oye, gimme a hand with this gate. I don't want the new guys in there beating all these savages before I get in there."

'Lil goes and tries opening the gate. If there are boulders in the way, she starts moving them.

"Finally we get to do what we came to do." Bigby helps 'Lil lift the gate off without hesitation. He snarls as he lifts the gate, getting his game face on, all the while thinking, "We could die here, but so what. Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it."

Reaching the gate and noting that it has no lock (& therefore doesn't require the Bigby air deployment tactic) Haemir shouts to his companion: "Fand, we have the gate help the others...". Grabbing the gate he attempts to help lift it.

Fand about turns and flies back toward the cell (MTV:80')

Xel'Aw continues the performance with a (free action) haiku:

"One and two daggers
Blood flowing like waterfalls
Cannibal justice."

Xel'Aw ends the oration and moves out of the cage to take the xbow - then he'll head toward the chest holding his weapons, spell pouch, and hopefully, his pants.

(ooc additional... Xel'Aw virtually has to step over the scrolls Fand dropped). ;-)

(Also, if Haemir's group are exposed to ranged attacks he will cast Obscuring Mist which although it reduces the groups visibility to 5', should allow everyone to see at least one person each and the gate.
The mist gives us concealment to any creature 5' away (20% miss chance), anything further away cannot target us by sight & the party has total concealment (50% miss chance). The spell is non stationary (20' radius on Haemir) & doesn't move when we do.

Once obscuring mist comes up, Sol ensures he keeps 'Lil in sight at all times. If she moves, he moves with her, following her through the Mist, if he appears and can see Halflings, he will again attempt to thrown an Acid Splash at them.

14 to hit. (Ranged Touch Attack)
2 for damage

Caelwyn waits while Lil and Bigby lift the gate. He prepares to move forward and throw his spear at the nearest halfling as soon as a clear target appears.

"I can drop the mist when we are ready..." Haemir mutters
