Funny when I think about it.  6 in the stealth team including chain mail clad types.  Its a wonder if our plan meets any success....  Bit like swimming in chain mail....

Griff is thinking of volunteering for the cave scouting mission, but only if the caves are dark. Are the caves lit or do people carry torches back and forth??

There are no visible sources of light in the cave your in front of currently.

In reply to Chlainn Vacrolann (msg # 954):

Lann can sneak out and join the main assault force if there is time;)

Blessed New Year everyone! :D

This is a summary of the plan for the Stealth team. Note each task and person(s) responsible.

Team
1. Brannon
2. Dann
3. Griff
4. Lann
5. Jon (NPC)
6. Drake
7. Aphail (non-combatant NPC)
8. Jakk (non-combatant NPC)

Concurrent Tasks
1. Enlist Borderer boys to help.
- Jakk, Dann, Aphail go up stone steps.
- explain and enlist help of boys.
- gather boys and come down to cave entrance.

2. Scout cave.
- Griff, Jon, Drake to enter and scout cave.
- Locate outsiders, especially the leader.
- come back out to cave entrance.

3. Keep out of sight.
- Brannon, Lann hide near cave entrance.

Grand Finale
We meet back at cave entrance in 5 minutes and prepare to:
- storm the cave,
- hook up with Usopi and Chlainn,
- engage the outsiders, allowing the Borderer boys to rescue the girls,
- destroy outsiders.

Re Griff's "strangely glowing eyes", he takes care not to make eye contact with his comrades when using Darksight, and cancels the spell if necessary to avoid the male gaze ;)

Seems like a good plan to me, "Hadrik"!

Brannon will lay low until needed.

In reply to Griff Koehler (msg # 960):

Lann will wait until he needs to charge  and kill...

Ps: why is the US Market doing well?

In reply to Toirneach Lann (msg # 962):

Got the vaguest understand of economics.  Heard that too but I wonder what are the indicators?

I'm a portfolio manager (bonds not equity) so follow the markets pretty closely.

The street view is that the US equity rally is all about the tax plan. Big cut on corporate taxes -> profit.

A really dark adventure this...

On a separate note...Yay! Milestone reached in our game! :D

There will be some lighter fare after some bad people have been very deservedly fed into a woodchipper.

In reply to GM (msg # 966):

Hm, reminds me of the 6 attacks of cellulitus I got last year.  Without the help of doctors I realized its got something to do with an ingrown toenail.  Strange that I couldn't detect any open wound, just that some nasty bacteria seems to be growing at the site.  I even spent 1 day suffering from chills and drowsiness, a really bad sign of systemic sepsis....  Dermatologist wasn't much more helpful than the GP...

I prefer incineration...

Ah...but definitely NOT before they get the top of their heads removed by surgical precision 1st!

And the ball sacks made into tiny purses...

And CERTAINLY not before we check their corpses for gold and magical items.

In reply to Usopi Venia (msg # 971):

Uh....I'm slightly confused...Dann does realise that he just walked in full view of borderers and at least one bad guy across a stone shelf in the daylight and started talking to the kid who was supposed to secretly be alerting the borderers to trouble on the way....

Or have my area descriptions been that bad lately?

Maybe he just misunderstood the last sentence of your post? Until that very last sentence Jakk was right beside him at the lip of the shelf. Alternativley, maybe he thinks that since he’s a borderer they won’t notice he’s not one of them?

I think he probably misread your post alittle. It is actually not easy to accurately convey, and then to correctly grasp, "complex" scenes like this. Like who is standing where, doing what, who can see who and can't see who...:D

Just like I totally misread your earlier post GM. With a pre-conceived picture in my mind, I read your post and thought the stone steps were leading upwards from the back of the cave. Instead what you meant was they were carved into the wall outside the cave. :D

In reply to Drake Taubron (msg # 974):

Vague idea, probably have to reread everything later.  Must be the visor obscuring my vision.  My chain mail probably includes chainmail blinkers...

Yeah, best wait til I get confirmation on that one. But I'll move the other scenes forward.

...The Force is strong with this one. There be great trouble...and great fun...in future be....

Right, well, this whole scene would probably easier to deal with with a picture or two. I can appreciate the fact that it is not easy to do. But the issue is probably more on my side than on the GM's -- I will try to pay more attention next time, and ask questions if I have doubts.

Let's assume Dann stays hidden for now. Do I need to change my last post?
