Addoliad chan 'r Cyfrgolledig

[Stratovarius]

Didn't think you lot were finished plotting yet. Or at least haven't taken any actions.

[X-Codes]

I was thinking the rest would have a bit more input.

"All in good time, Borloth.  There's another slaughter we must attend first.  For now, you three scour the village for any weapons that the villagers may have missed.  I'll return to the tavern and convince the villagers to relinquish their stockpile.  We'll meet back at the stable beside the inn within the hour and figure out what to do from there."

[Nanshork]

Borloth nods at Regema and goes off in search of weapons.

[Stratovarius]

Some scythes and sickles, a couple short swords and daggers, a few hunting spears, a short bow. There are also an almost unlimited array of clubs of various kinds, mostly unshaped tree branches.

X: I had hoped so too.

[Nanshork]

Borloth ignores the clubs, they are insignificant.  He takes the real weapons back to the stable.

Pfft, I don't think.  That's what you're for X-Codes.   

[Callix]

Madoc, on the other hand, knows how much of an improvement clubs are over bare hands. Preferring the worked or naturally smooth ones, he gathers enough to make up the shortfall between weapons and trained slaves.

It's a good plan. There's not that much I can add to it. Sorry X, but you're supposed to be the strategic genius in the party.

[X-Codes]

Regema goes to the tavern and stands to the side of the front entrance, lest the peasantry inside be a bit panicky.  "Open up.  I have returned."  He tries to take a peek inside to make sure they're still actually there.  "We have a plan to eliminate the slavers, but need weapons to do so.  I have come to see what you have brought here."

[Stratovarius]

The door opens slowly, and a host of tines point at Regema before they recognize his form and open the door wide to let him pass. Most of the peasantry within are armed with the tools of their trade, scythes and sickles and pitchforks. Those who hunt have bows and spears, and the rest have gathered what they could from the surroundings.

[Stratovarius]

Nudge?

[X-Codes]

Sorry, long week.  Tell me when I need to make some checks.

Regema looks about the room.  Those bows could prove to be nasty even if their wielders were to be killed in the coming fire.  "As I was saying, the slavers have made a crucial error in their judgment.  In order to take advantage of it, I'll need those bows you have there.  The slavers have some enslaved soldiers in addition to laborers, so if we are able to sneak some weapons in to them they'll surely be able to aid us in killing off most of the slavers and driving away the rest."

[Stratovarius]

No worries, we all get burned out from time to time. Happens to me often enough with all my hobbies. One's always dead.

One of the hunters looks down at his bow, then back up. "These bows are how we feed our families. They aren't cheap to build or replace. How can you make sure we get them back? Life is hard enough in the woods without losing our tools." The others nod in agreements.

If you want to try Diplo/Intim/Bluff, now's the time.

[X-Codes]

Aravilar gives a muffled scoff at the hunter's reply and stares him down.  "Feed your families?  If the slavers get there way then you won't have any families.  You'll all be stripped naked, starved half to death, and sold off to the first rich bastard willing to pay.  If you want to survive this then you'll listen to me."

Intimidate check: 1d20+10=21

[Stratovarius]

The hunters look around amongst themselves, then begin passing quivers and bows forward to Aravilar.

[X-Codes]

Regema nods slightly.  "Alright, then.  If any slavers come by, just keep quiet and stay away from the windows.  They'll either ignore you and think you've run off or try and come in to kill you, at which point you can skewer them on those spears you have.  Chances are this will all be done by sun up."

A moment later, he moves around the inn to find that everyone else has brought some weapons to the stable.  "Very good, the slaves will be well armed with what we have here.  I'm afraid our previous employer... what did you say his name was?  Well, regardless, he has met an untimely demise at the hands of a panicky band of villagers willing to fight before they become slaves.  On the other hand, we could use a brave hunter to sneak in these weapons to those currently enslaved.  If there are still too many guards for you to handle then I can use my pet to create an additional distraction.  Either way, it's time for us to go, Borloth and Val'Malus."  Regema ends his little statement with a slowly growing and very dark grin, the anticipation of the coming slaughter starting to show.  He makes a mental note to suppress that when they get to the slaver camp.

[Nanshork]

Borloth nods with a grin matching his brother's.  "Finally, I get to have some fun.  It's been too long."

[Stratovarius]

Nudging for actions

[X-Codes]

"Nudging for actions"

Trying to get more people to post.  Hope they didn't ditch, it's almost summer break for me and the game is JUST about to get really fun!

[Stratovarius]

I know. I'd like to try and get you lot through this whole battle sequence and to your first level-up point before I go away on vacation.

[Nanshork]

I think it's just the three of us, don't know where the others went.

[Callix]

I'm still here, but I'm supposed to be sitting tight with the villagers until the fighting starts, right?
