@Mae I likely will, yes.

So, my vote is to strike. I can save my sorceries for when I have a domain, unless people do wish to ambush in which case I can easily put on some flair~!

Here we go for clarity:

Goal: To have a place to turn into a Dungeon (as per the pics provided earlier)
Target: these drunk smucks who made the mistake to eat/drink near you fearless monsters
The Plan: Assault? Strike? Ambush? Trickery?
Details:

+Krieg initiates by rushing in? or Darc and Zazac sneak in?

trying to keep up with the OOC posting so I may have missed some things

Yes I will SKULK in and lure them into our Assault, lets strike them out in the open then force our way in killing the stragglers along the way.

One reason why players didn't like me playing Chaotic characters, I get tired of planning and just train right thru with a battle cry....
My friends are like, so much for the art of sneaking in now lol

You'll get to do that after the ambush, as we finish off the Light folk we lure out of the dungeon if people like that plan of course.

Alright a couple bits of misinformation flowing around, so let me see if I can make sure we’re all working with the same info.

We are not attacking the dungeon right now. We’re still near the tree we were using as cover from the rain. This is in a hilly area and it has been rainy so the ground is slick/muddy.

We hear voices of the light race nearby. We do not know what their races or numbers are right now. They could be giants, they could be humans, they could be dwarves, we don’t know.

None of us can actually speak any light languages naturally. Some of us might be able to proxy a spell.

Using abilities that cost stress means you add stress levels. When you hit your max you go feral. It does not rely on you to actually have any stress levels already (so you can start using abilities at 0 stress).

So with that in mind I still vote ambush. We skulk, scan them, and when they’re at a disadvantage position then we strike. Ideally we can incorporate all of our talents so everyone has some means to contribute.

Right-o!

So far the signal I'm getting is that:
Dark grabs some quick intel
Zaz'ac lures the people out into the open
Baganaria uses trick or Invoke to get them to miss or distract them
Krieg pummels stuff into oblivion
Darc drops down from above from a cliff face onto an unsuspecting target
Phardax adds some flair

is everyone into this?

EDIT: ty Lucius! missed your post . Yes stress gets added as you use abilities and such, you can use abilities straight away

Details:
1. (whatever)
2. cast ALLURE to scatter the goodfolks, giving advantage for any next attackers (I need backup)

3. for every SMASH/SKULK attempts of my backup:
3a. roll my TRICK to hesitate/distract/debuff the goodfolks, giving advantage for the next attacker that backs me up
3b. roll SMASH or SKULK of my backup

this feels like programming

I understand all that, but was just pitching an idea of course anyways. We skulk and scan, then attack. The wet terrain could play to our advantage as well.

@Mae Should I roll yet?

EDIT: Just read Mae's post nvm.

I go with @Mae's detail, let's make this concluded before I start my monday. I hope the results won't ruin the mood

I don't like it but okay, just to get the ball going.

Cool with me, I'll roll as soon as I hear from Mae.

I'll roll TRICKs after the number from the initial intel SCAN is determined

Cool with me, I'll roll as soon as I hear from Mae.

Same

ok so if the first rolls are these from Lucius:

Cool. While I know I ought to wait for Veyrin does, I’ll go ahead and do my rolls and we’ll see if they’re needed. Might not stick to the plan after all.

2 2 4 for the Skulk

2 2 for the Scan

the Skulk is even position strong effect as the rain is giving you good cover. Rolling a 4 as your highest is a mixed success, so you succeed (your choice how that pans out IC) but the complication is you see a dwarf leaving cover with a strong lantern to relieve himself from his booze. The lantern is spreading light in a circle around him as he rests it on a rock beside him. He is relieving himself against the cliff face opposite.

The scan is even position weak effect as the rain is making it harder to see. Regardless, with a 2 as your highest that is a failure. So I'm going to say that, you can see these stone structures carved into the cliff face, ornate dwarvern architecture, and you can hear the merrymaking coming from inside one of these places - it's the only one with light spilling out into the open air - and you can smell delicious pork wafting out the door. But you can't get a good angle to see inside the structure from your current position, without entering the light of that pesky lantern.

You can see the man outside is a dwarf wearing leathers, but he's facing away from you so you can't see any insignias.

@Mae are the basic nine actions unlimited? Since Lucius' Darc failed to notice the number, I'm planning to just roll ten Tricks

Aight cool. My next plan will likely involve that dwarf relieving himself, but I’ll let the others roll for their respective skulk or such before I roll my offensive things.

Alright heres what I got for my rolls:

Skulk 4
Trick 4

@Dark Cloud you're up. What does Zaz'ac do/ how does he approach this task and I'll inform you what your position is (whether you're going toe to toe with the challenge, have an upper hand, are the underdog in the situation, or in deadly circumstances) and what your effect is (whether it'll have a strong, regular or weak effect. Throwing a pebble at a dragon would have a weak effect, but shooting a special dragon-slaying arrow through it's heart after researching dragon anatomy and being a great marksman would have a strong effect)

EDIT: just saw this woops one sec

Alright heres what I got for my rolls:

Skulk 4
Trick 4

@Mae Hope that was okay.
