Ted:ok
Simon N. (GM):No Tim yet, thought he was coming.
Ted:ahem OK DM dude
Simon N. (GM)::)
Malied:I think i might be lagging today guys :/
Chris T.::(
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc no level 5 characters just us lets hope the demon ape no show
Simon N. (GM):reloading usually helps w the lag
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):try change browsers?
Malied:yea, tried that, restarted Chrome too hopefully it will be better now
Simon N. (GM):Flint: "So, Fraener, the plan is that you and your friends here make a diversionary attack on the Thorfin mine, get the Orcs' attention. Meanwhile the others will head up the supply run. Make it showy, but don't get killed. Gundra has been readying special Brew for ye all..."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Many thanks my Lady"
Chris T.:Fraener will thank Flint and Gundra most warmly for their hospitality. "I'll be ready for a pint when we get back!"
Simon N. (GM):Hi Tim!
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):Hello Tim
Chris T.:Hi Tim
Erasmus:Hi All. Sorry I'm late.
Simon N. (GM):Gundra hands you each out an enchanted rune-scribed tin can with a pull-seal. The runes in dwarven read Truesilver Finest.
Chris T.:hehe
Qiviel:(I feel I need to have a word with Gundra about alchemists fire in a pull-tab can :D )
Gundra, Cleric of the Brew:"These containers let the Brew retain its magic until you need it. Pull the seal and quaff right before battle!"
Chris T.:yup
Malied:yep
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):yup
Erasmus:Good to go.
Ted:Yeah dude
Gundra, Cleric of the Brew:Qiviel?
Qiviel:Yes
Simon N. (GM):OK you head out of the dwarf hold, it's morning on a bright sunny day; you've been pointed down the south trail. The Thorfin mine mouth is east facing so the Orcs are likely well back, out of the sunlight right now.
Ted:Check the junction for tracks
Simon N. (GM):For once no Orcs attack you as you head down the trail! Likely deterred by the bright sunny day. Ted can roll Survival.
Ted:
15
SURVIVAL (3)
Erasmus:(Are we all together, or do we have a scout?)
Simon N. (GM):There are a lot more orc tracks on the west route, and damage to the trees indicates the big ape-demon you've heard of. Numbers to the south are smaller, but you do notice what appear to be the tracks of a great wolf.
Chris T.:(My suggestion would be to stick together)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc seem Ted is upfront being a scout
Simon N. (GM):(If you are stealthing you'll be at half speed, giving up the advantage of sunlight. W/out stealth I dunno why you'd split up?)
Erasmus:(Just checking, thanks.)
Malied:we don't need to split up, lets just go at noormal speed
Simon N. (GM):Ted is at the front of the party checking the tracks.
Qiviel:(agree to normal speed)
Erasmus:Erasmus will stay toward the back, checking the rear.
Malied:Malied is reading a book, happily surrounded by his armoured meatshields
Simon N. (GM):A bit under 3 hours since leaving Rockwood, still not yet noon as you approach the vicinity of Thorfin Mine.
Qiviel:Q will watch their surroundings closely for any sign of movement or danger
Ted:pulls up hood to soften the suns glare
Malied:Malied uses Mage hand to turn a page
Erasmus:As we approach, do we see any sentries?
Ted:yellow eyes scan
Simon N. (GM):A litle ahead of the others, Ted is the first to see the mine entrance through the bushes, the waste heaps to either side.
Ted:slips into the cliffs shadow
Simon N. (GM):As predicted, no sentries visible in the bright sunlight.
Chris T.:"Let's get in while our luck holds?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: I'll take it you stealthing now (don't roll yet) - you can move up to your Speed, or x2 Speed if you're a level 2+ Rogue :)
Erasmus:"Do we want to draw them out, or are we going into the belly of the beast?"
Malied:"Hold off attacking the first one we see, I can convince it to tell us what to expect ahead
Chris T.:"Ormmaybe send some of the stealthy folk ahead to hold the entrance?"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:*Let's go in and kill them."
Ted:smiles at Jyrdani
Chris T.:"Our advantage lays with fighting on a narrow front."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:smiles back (platonically!) :)
Chris T.:"Their numbers will likely overwhgelm us outdoors."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:nods
Malied:"Then we should proceed to the entrance then bait them out
Qiviel:"We should try to find a choke point and hold it."
Malied:GM how wide is the entrance?
Qiviel:"So, we should get to the entrance and see what the layout is."
Ted:I'll check the trees
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:OOC looks like 15' - you should be able to see it on VTT
Ted:climbs cliff
Simon N. (GM):Ted clmbs up the cliff w the help of the magic rope.
Qiviel:(I think I need a refresh, I'm not seeing it ?)
Erasmus:Top middle
Simon N. (GM):Entrance is top-centre
Chris T.:I put it on 40% and it came on the screen
Qiviel:(Ah, I see it, thanks)
Simon N. (GM):Always be scrolling out on new pages! :)
Qiviel:(it blended in with the black below it)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"rather that splitting the party i prefer we stay in one group and raid the mine as the trees is the domain for the demon ape"
Qiviel:"Agreed, we should not split up."
Chris T.:Fraener agrees with Strohm
Malied:"who said anything about splitting?
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Entrance looks clear... Flint said the Orcs should be well back this time of day."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc where is the mine
Chris T.:F makes room for the fighters
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"But I bet they'll have guards ready further back..."
Ted:waits and watches the trees for several breaths
Malied:"I can disguise myself or charm one of them to give us a better idea of what is waiting for us further in
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:looks to Strohm & Qiviel "With me?"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"on it"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Ted, no sign of the broken branches down here that you were seeing further north.
Erasmus:"I say Qiviel, Jyrdani and Strohm in front, The Tad and I, with Malied and Fraener bringing up the rear."
Qiviel:"I have no issue with charging in, but do we wish to let Malied have a peak first?"
Simon N. (GM):(that was GM to Ted)
Qiviel:"In disguise, assuming you speak the language?" she looks to Malied
Chris T.:"Sounds sensible."
Ted:(no sneaky sentry's or skulking wolves etc?)
Erasmus:"Save your spells, Malied - perhaps Ted could take point, quietly?"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"I don't like it. We should attack now - maybe we take a prisoner to question."
Malied:Fine, I'd have charmed one of them to give us a heads up,
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Ted you can roll Perception.
Ted:

Jyrdani of Jiyyd:No sentries visible, but it's too bright out here to see into the cave.

Qiviel:Q shrugs, lifts her shield, and considers her sword. "Shall I give us some light?"
Malied:I can see in the dark, plus intend to light up the place, so up to you
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Good idea Qiviel - they'll see us anyway. We might as well see them..."
Simon N. (GM):Qiviel light aura
Qiviel:"It doesn't last long but Sacred Weapon will give us light as long as I keep reactivating it."
Ted:scan the entrance for traps or alarms
Qiviel:(gonna get me some armour wings at some point and be a battle angel :D )
Simon N. (GM):Just orcs tracks, orc poo and other foulness in the stinky rubbish piles.
Chris T.::)
Ted:thumbs up and girns
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Okay then, here goes..."
Ted:grins
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:GM You can move up

Starting at 3rd level, you are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn’t taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.

Chris T.:"And if we don't hold that gap we can be attacked from two sides.."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Erasmus, you obviously look squishy. Why else would they keep hitting you?!"
Chris T.:"Or the shaman escapes.."
Qiviel:"I can hold it," she settles herself down into a defensive position.
Chris T.:"What about asking our new chum to go take a look then?"
Erasmus:"Indeed. Ted, how would that snare work?"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Maybe Malied tell his orc to stay guard while we explore the other tunnel:
Malied:"how about this, Ted sneaks his way down the western tunnel"
Ted:In orc to the charmed orc Brother what is down there?
Malied:"then we'll have a better odea of what we would need to block off"
Ted:points south with chin
Malied:I did ask him to go and see if any of his friends we're down the tunnel
Erasmus:While we're hanging around, Erasmus will check the bodies of the orcs for anything valuable or useful.
