That's enough successes, no more Stealth rolls needed. Running out of time today, updates from me as appropriate tomorrow.

Working on the latest combat map off and on; update sometime today.

How far away are we? As a thought, use Ghost Sound when the Greenspawn is chewing out one of the defenders and make it sound like one of them talked back to start a fight.

You're about 100' away from them. You'd need to use Stealth to get closer, and the DC would not be easy.

Is it possible I could use my mind control power to start a fight amongst them?

Which mind control power was that?

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 912):

Sudden control. It makes people smack each other around.

You cant do that, but you would start combat, as the commanded person would know he had been attacked.

Need posts IC, folks. Straightforward combat is very much an option here as well. I didn't say you couldn't ever attack anyone--just that you don't want to take on the whole city.

Where is it we have to go?  Do we need to cross the canal or must we head one way or the other?

If you want to get where you want to go most quickly, you can cross the canal. If you don't want the confrontation, you can try going 'round about a bit.

Wee reminder, as someone said before: remember that you ARE a group of Epic-level bad-asses.

Do we want to do group invisibility? I can do that too.

Personally speaking as a player, The last two fights were a bit disappointing for me and I'm eager to get some proper combat action, so I'd like to engage.

So we've got a bunch of minions, and monsters who can stack ongoing fire damage and deal extra fire damage.  The big greenspawn is a Level 28 Elite Soldier, with stats to match and a nasty push attack.  The Ms are Azer Maulers, who are Level 27 Controllers and who don't look like much.

I'd say we should try and take this patrol. They're spread out, and Agon should be able to clear the minions, at which point we have a clear fire advantage.

Darratheir is more than willing to fight !

And HArald hates all the skulking!

Three votes for fighting--need to hear from Gromley, Martha, Sonliin or Zog to make for a clear majority in favor (or not, if they all disagree).

I was the first vote for fighting!

I vote for sneaking, but am likely outvoted.

Sorry, you're right, Martha. That's a majority. Will move this along later today.

Just chiming in for the majority--let's blow 'em up quickly. I can add to the minion roasting.

Harald, the map looks fine. If someone else fixed it, thanks.

Encounter looks super-fun!

I will post today or tomorrow at last. :)

Giving Zog a chance to redirect his attack on someone non-minion-y, as Agon would have wiped them out without him and Agon would have told Zog that they were immune to fire :-) Then will update.
