[2026/06/28 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, forgot to get logs done. The hot weather hit hard. That's my excuse. Don't like it? Fight me.
[2026/06/28 14:05] Sapphire: /me ponders wrestling with Mistress
[2026/06/28 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: so.. last time... you successfully evaded the kobold army, and got your.... er... "skills" assessed... some might say harshly, others might say accurately... by some blonde lady in golden scale armour. Who can that be?
[2026/06/28 14:07] Sapphire: Pretty sure that Sonja y Drach Goch in their human form
[2026/06/28 14:07] Mecha: /me nods
[2026/06/28 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way: GGGGGRRRRREEEETTTIIINNGGSSSSS Adventurers! Other players get DMs who have something ready for the session, you gave me no hints so I got nothing.
[2026/06/28 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe, you start us off this time.
[2026/06/28 14:08] Joe: i need a recap
[2026/06/28 14:09] Sapphire: what's the last you recall?
[2026/06/28 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me points up
[2026/06/28 14:09] Joe: we are in a forest, just watched some of those demons run off into the trees
[2026/06/28 14:10] Mecha: We got our buts kicked, almost lost Emily, almost died but we escaped with Emily standing in the forest and just got Dressed down by Sonja or someone who looks like her.
[2026/06/28 14:10] Joe: that'll be Sonja, a fake would have been nicer to try to trick us
[2026/06/28 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: interesting and logical
[2026/06/28 14:11] Joe: so we are back to the situation of being lost, not knowing exactly what way to go, and injured.
[2026/06/28 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you aren't under attack by an army of kobolds
[2026/06/28 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/06/28 14:14] Sapphire: "we need either allies, or secret ways through this seige." she hums, thinking through what is around the castle of Minton that might offer allies.
[2026/06/28 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/06/28 14:15] Mecha: Sonja is nice that version of Sonja..." As Talia looks around." Okay, allies are good because us vs three different armies is going to be the end of us. though if I did My spirit is gonna search the Afterlife find the deity screwing us over and smack the holy hell out of them."
[2026/06/28 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... you got a few choices. 1) Find a way into Milton. 2) Forget Milton and muddle on as best you can. 3) Withdraw from the area completely and accept defeat in this area.
[2026/06/28 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: You may have others, this is not exhaustive.
[2026/06/28 14:18] Sapphire: The "find ways through the seige" is to lead to milton, yes
[2026/06/28 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: So what are you going to do?
[2026/06/28 14:19] Sapphire: based on what we know, where are some possible allies around here? or places that could be searched for allies?
[2026/06/28 14:20] Sapphire: I don't have a clear understanding of the geography around her
[2026/06/28 14:20] Sapphire: here*
[2026/06/28 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, considering the place has been invaded by kobold armies, everywhere is probably defending and concerned with holding their own turf
[2026/06/28 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Milton: south of what is modern London, just at the start of the Thames estuary. Mostly rolling hills, forests and farmland.
[2026/06/28 14:22] Sapphire: So possibly the outlying villages might have locals who know the area.
[2026/06/28 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Assuming anyone is still there.
[2026/06/28 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! What's your suggested way forwards.
[2026/06/28 14:25] Mecha: I chuckle Too bad we cant sneak close and just like send down a rain of fireballs over the commanders building
[2026/06/28 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can, but, if there was anything there you wanted, that would almost certainly be destroyed, and, you'd once again be facing an entire army.
[2026/06/28 14:26] Sapphire: Plus we already tried that
[2026/06/28 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe! Suggestion from you?
[2026/06/28 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you didn't try fireballing.
[2026/06/28 14:27] Sapphire: got talked out of it on the basis we didn't know if there was important stuff to incinerate in there for sure
[2026/06/28 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed, "fireball that house" should NOT be the default answer from anyone, never mind a mage.
[2026/06/28 14:28] Joe: on the principle we will be doing the world a favour by killing its leaders, i suggest we should do what we can to achieve that ... fireball the command tent seems legit to me
[2026/06/28 14:28] Mecha: Didn't ask how big the room is...
[2026/06/28 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me sighs and stares at the tabletop
[2026/06/28 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, you got a Plan.
[2026/06/28 14:28] Joe: *the armies leaders i meant, not the worlds leaders
[2026/06/28 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: How are you going to achieve this?
[2026/06/28 14:30] Mecha: /me shrugs."Emily.. Any ideas?"
[2026/06/28 14:30] Mecha: Also do we want to keep on this gig or put it on the back burner for the other things we need to do?
[2026/06/28 14:30] Joe: what if we create a distraction over that way, to help us sneak more easily, over there the other way
[2026/06/28 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, -do- we have a plan?
[2026/06/28 14:31] Sapphire: "I think Milton is worth saving, but it's the in and out that gives us a lot of trouble. We need local knowlesge. Some of the villages might be hiding in the woods, or the kobolds might have taken prisoners."
[2026/06/28 14:32] Mecha: Okay then let's see if we can find any outllying village that might have people or information we can use."
[2026/06/28 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: I wonder if I was too subtle when I said: Sonja Bikergrrl: Assuming anyone is still there.
[2026/06/28 14:34] Sapphire: are you saying it's obvious to our characters the answer is no?
[2026/06/28 14:34] Mecha: No you were straight on. If no one is there we look for any writings and / or anything we can use.
[2026/06/28 14:34] Sapphire: it sounded like you meant that as a hypothetical and -not- as an obvious fact
[2026/06/28 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm saying it's highly unlikely you'll find anyone who might be inclined to and able to help.
[2026/06/28 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: It is a hypothetical. If you can pass a perception check at disadvantage and roll a 100 on D100, I'll allow you might find someone. I'd say that's fair odds
[2026/06/28 14:36] Sapphire: Since right now, we know without some edge to get through, we'll just get detected before we find anything usable.
[2026/06/28 14:36] D10: Joe rolls 9
[2026/06/28 14:36] Joe: had to try
[2026/06/28 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: your characters should know that armies of monsters sweeping through an area tend not to result in local populations going about business as normal.
[2026/06/28 14:37] Sapphire: Say, what are these kobolds eating?
[2026/06/28 14:37] Mecha: Talia rolls her eys."Fuck this put this place on the back burner let's try somewhere else. I am losing patience for this whole thing."
[2026/06/28 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Whatever they can find.
[2026/06/28 14:40] Sapphire: "where else should we be dealing with instead, then?"
[2026/06/28 14:41] Mecha: wasn't there Kobolds searching for some kind of artifact or something? I know there is also another army... So two armies we have to face on our own. So lets start with the searching kobold group.
[2026/06/28 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last I recall, you could investigate: 1) Siege at Milton, 2) Kobold bands searching south of Milton, 3) What is up with the orcs, 4) Kobold army from the north east.
[2026/06/28 14:42] Joe: which one is our current predicament ?
[2026/06/28 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Note that -time- is of the essence in all this.
[2026/06/28 14:42] Mecha: Wait.. Orcs... this could be something.
[2026/06/28 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Right now, you're on #1.
[2026/06/28 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: #2 - should take a day or two. #3 - should take about 4-5 days. #4 could take over a week to ten days.
[2026/06/28 14:43] Sapphire: We're already at Milton, so going after the kobold bands searching south of here seems like it's the one that's worth switching too
[2026/06/28 14:43] Joe: alright. Assuming Milton is somewhere nearby, thee is indeed a kobold army camped here. Our investigation has discovered that much.
[2026/06/28 14:44] Mecha: okay, I have an idea."What if we do number two. then three but in three we try to convince the Orcs to attack this siege?"
[2026/06/28 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now that's a multipart plan with any number of pitfalls.
[2026/06/28 14:45] Mecha: Every plan here has any number of pitfalls.
[2026/06/28 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed, and other plans are often having fewer.
[2026/06/28 14:46] Sapphire: "Maybe. That still has us figuring out what the bands are searching for to start with, yes?"
[2026/06/28 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that's in the opposite direction.
[2026/06/28 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Let's simplify this, because you're just spinning wheels with speculative flights of fancy.
[2026/06/28 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: 1. Are you continuing with getting through the siege at Milton, or, are you abandoning Milton?
[2026/06/28 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Let's start there.
[2026/06/28 14:48] Mecha: Talia votes for abandoning Milton even if it is temporarily
[2026/06/28 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Temporary" is irrelevant.
[2026/06/28 14:49] Sapphire: one mission at a time
[2026/06/28 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, Sapphire, your vote is...?
[2026/06/28 14:49] Sapphire: I imagine you mean abandoning the *seige* of Milton
[2026/06/28 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: as opposed to....?
[2026/06/28 14:49] Sapphire: the entire city?
[2026/06/28 14:50] Sapphire: since two missions relate to Milton
[2026/06/28 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: you need to explain the difference.
[2026/06/28 14:50] Joe: abandonng a city under seige usually means letting the invaders take the city
[2026/06/28 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Correct, Joe.
[2026/06/28 14:51] Joe: i would feel somewhat guilty about letting that happen without at least ding something to try to prevent it
[2026/06/28 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Any Good character would indeed feel guilty about that.
[2026/06/28 14:51] Sapphire: we aren't the ones who make that call, of course
[2026/06/28 14:51] Sapphire: i suppose other option is to make another stealth attempt but they're already alerted
[2026/06/28 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: you are the heroes, you're in the area, it's your call.
[2026/06/28 14:52] Sapphire: still confused how we're heroes after all this
[2026/06/28 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Make another stealth attempt is completely valid - but you're right, they are alerted.
[2026/06/28 14:52] Joe: i want to revisit plan A of sneaking into the command tent and assassinating the kobold leaders while they sleep and sneaking out again, under cover of darkness
[2026/06/28 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: I wonder that increasingly each session, Sapphire
[2026/06/28 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's a good plan, Joe. It's also doable, and, has immediate consequences
[2026/06/28 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/06/28 14:54] Mecha: I look at both of you."Pick something. Don't ask me to sneak. If you want I can run distraction and you two can go for the kill."
[2026/06/28 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/06/28 14:56] Sapphire: oh, i'm being dumb
[2026/06/28 14:56] Sapphire: we rest overnight and I prepare a bunch of Invisibility
[2026/06/28 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me doesn't dare comment
[2026/06/28 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Actually... that's a good idea.
[2026/06/28 14:57] Mecha: All right. We make camp. I'll take first watch
[2026/06/28 14:58] Joe: I want to discuss 'distraction' plan with Mecha
[2026/06/28 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Before you do: Joe, Sapphire: both injured.
[2026/06/28 14:59] Sapphire: right, all my frostbite
[2026/06/28 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe? I think you can Lay On Hands
[2026/06/28 15:00] Joe: yes i will heal Sapphire
[2026/06/28 15:01] Sapphire: finding a place to rest sounds important too
[2026/06/28 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: Healed.
[2026/06/28 15:01] Mecha: too bad we can't just find an abandoned town and hole up there.
[2026/06/28 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll just mark your 2nd level spells as all expended, so we don't need to re-write your sheet
[2026/06/28 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe: gains 1hp over night
[2026/06/28 15:02] Joe: yay!
[2026/06/28 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, when are you making this attempt?
[2026/06/28 15:03] Joe: in the darkest hour of night
[2026/06/28 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: all agreed on that?
[2026/06/28 15:03] Mecha: Yeah.
[2026/06/28 15:03] Sapphire: Agreed
[2026/06/28 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: and you're all going to sneak past the kobold picket line to get to the hill with tents?
[2026/06/28 15:05] Sapphire: That's plan A, any alternate path in evidence?
[2026/06/28 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: you tell me...
[2026/06/28 15:05] Joe: run and hide
[2026/06/28 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you already ran and hid
[2026/06/28 15:06] Joe: its not cowardice its strategic withdrawal
[2026/06/28 15:06] Joe: see it works
[2026/06/28 15:06] Joe: we're getting good at it
[2026/06/28 15:06] Mecha: it does seem to play to our current strengths
[2026/06/28 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, your plan is...?
[2026/06/28 15:09] Sapphire: well, if there's no other way around than to sneak past the picket line, that
[2026/06/28 15:10] Sapphire: I was trying to double check for other options that still get to the command tent
[2026/06/28 15:10] Mecha: turn invisible and go for it.
[2026/06/28 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other methods may, or may not, exist. It's up to you to come up with a workable plan.
[2026/06/28 15:11] Sapphire: that's why i keep trying to ask if there's any other approaches terrain wise, but it sounds like the answer is no, they have fully encircled their camp with a picket line
[2026/06/28 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're in a wooded/hilly area, with farmland all round.
[2026/06/28 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: I don't know what you have in mind, so, that's the limit of what I can tell you
[2026/06/28 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're individuals on your own with what you have, there's no radar/gps/internet so if you can't see it, you don't know it.
[2026/06/28 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: I've given you what you should reasonably expect to know
[2026/06/28 15:13] Sapphire: and all we see is wooded hills?
[2026/06/28 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: after that... it's up to you.
[2026/06/28 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: I do not know what you're expecting to see
[2026/06/28 15:13] Sapphire: i suppose the seige camp as well
[2026/06/28 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, the woods and the hills block the sight of the camp and fortifications, since, you ran away last night
[2026/06/28 15:14] Sapphire: fair enough
[2026/06/28 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: if you want to go up close and take a look, then, you have to tell me that
[2026/06/28 15:14] Sapphire: or work from memory last night, but sure, we can pick up with having rested and moved to double check what we're about to sneak through
[2026/06/28 15:14] Mecha: You said farmland does this mean abandoned farm houses?
[2026/06/28 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: but bear in mind, invisibility isn't invulnerability to detection
[2026/06/28 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Very likely, yes.
[2026/06/28 15:15] Sapphire: true, we'll want to be in soft shoes and keep any armor from clanking
[2026/06/28 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: very good idea
[2026/06/28 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh, so, you want to raid a farmhouse for soft shoes, rags and stuff?
[2026/06/28 15:16] Sapphire: joe, are you able to arrange your armor so you have mainly just the breastplate and stuff that won't make noise?
[2026/06/28 15:16] Sapphire: sure, we can check out some farmhouses for utility parts like that, yeah. Soft things. Not to steal a lot, just what we need.
[2026/06/28 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thats' a good idea.
[2026/06/28 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can find plenty of rags, sackcloth, straw
[2026/06/28 15:17] Joe: yes i have a cloak, i use it as padding/stuffing/a silencer by wrapping it, just so
[2026/06/28 15:17] Joe: without reducing movement
[2026/06/28 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm no expert but I figure you can stuff rags in your armour, or handfuls of hay
[2026/06/28 15:17] Mecha: rags, Sack cloth, Straw, lanterns, lamp oil...
[2026/06/28 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: chain mail and plate mail
[2026/06/28 15:18] Joe: its plate mail so less jangly than chain
[2026/06/28 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: these are two wildly different arounr types
[2026/06/28 15:18] Sapphire: Emily is basically already in clothes, but she'll survey the general state of the farmhouse. Look like they left in a hurry, or packed up their stuff in advance?
[2026/06/28 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: I figure you could wrap rags about chain mail, pull it tight, and tie it up. Won't silence you, but, it'll be a lot quieter
[2026/06/28 15:19] Sapphire: with plate you might be boxing some of the parts that can clatter on each other.
[2026/06/28 15:19] Sapphire: which is joe in?
[2026/06/28 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: as for plate mail... I figure it's the opposite
[2026/06/28 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: you want to stuff things inside, so the plates are apart and won't clang
[2026/06/28 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: maybe a dash of oil, to keep things squeaking... again, won't silence you, but, be a lot quieter
[2026/06/28 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can take either a DEX or AC penalty of 1 - your choice which. And it'll take about two, three rounds to do this.
[2026/06/28 15:22] Joe: I absolutely am not using lamp oil on my armour
[2026/06/28 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe is in plate mail
[2026/06/28 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: why not?
[2026/06/28 15:22] Joe: because some kobold will set fire to me
[2026/06/28 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: valid concern
[2026/06/28 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, Joe: AC or DEX penalized by 1?
[2026/06/28 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: And Mecha: same question
[2026/06/28 15:23] Joe: although the idea of soaking sacks in lamp oil, rolling them into bundles for portability, and then using said sack-cloths to bag-and-burn a few of the little bastards...
[2026/06/28 15:23] Mecha: Talia is going to gather Flamables and try to make molotov cocktails
[2026/06/28 15:23] Sapphire: more likely use it to set tents on fire
[2026/06/28 15:24] Joe: yes, as much lamp oil as we can possibly find in the abandoned buildings
[2026/06/28 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... and which are you both going to have penalized by 1, AC or DEX?
[2026/06/28 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: or shall I assume "both"
[2026/06/28 15:25] Sapphire: dex, sure;y?
[2026/06/28 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: idk... I'm not the player.
[2026/06/28 15:25] Mecha: Taalia looks at the two of you."Am I sneaking or am I distraction? Because we know how me sneaking went last time."
[2026/06/28 15:26] Joe: "Talia is very distracting"
[2026/06/28 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nothing is happening until I get that question answered O_O
[2026/06/28 15:27] Joe: me personally opt for -1 DEX, i do not speak for the others on this important matter
[2026/06/28 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/06/28 15:28] Mecha: AC
[2026/06/28 15:28] Sapphire: if you're distracting, good luck. Meet back up at this farmhouse?
[2026/06/28 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... Mecha, roll 1d4 and add 1
[2026/06/28 15:28] Mecha: Sounds good
[2026/06/28 15:28] D4: Mecha rolls 1
[2026/06/28 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find bottles, oil and rags to make two flasks of oil with rags to light. Not that lighting an object counts as an action.
[2026/06/28 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... we covered everything?
[2026/06/28 15:30] Sapphire: I belive so
[2026/06/28 15:30] Sapphire: flammabes to distract, spells to go invisible, softened and quietened armor
[2026/06/28 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, remind me: sneaking past the kobold line, at the dead of night, while invisible
[2026/06/28 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: heading for the large tents
[2026/06/28 15:31] Joe: plan :)
[2026/06/28 15:31] Mecha: Talia is going a ways away from there so the other two can prepare. Looking for far enough away so they can sneak easier but also close enough that the distraction can actually work.
[2026/06/28 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh-kay... then.... you approach the kobold lines. They're not stupid; they're alert and numbers are doubled.
[2026/06/28 15:32] Mecha: trying to draw them away from the tent so Emily and Joe can enter easier.
[2026/06/28 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talia will need to define what that means with numbers.
[2026/06/28 15:33] Mecha: Talia throws one of these things from a position that leaves kobolds to look in her direction, away from the leaders tent
[2026/06/28 15:33] Mecha: Hoping the bright flash of fire will also fuck with their night vision and temporarily blind them
[2026/06/28 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...you're literally going to throw away your one and only advantage?
[2026/06/28 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm sorry... I'm going to ask you to rethink that
[2026/06/28 15:35] Mecha: The plan has been I make Molotiv cocktails I use them to set things on fire while I yell like a lunatic to gain the kobolds attention while the kobolds are distracted Emily and Joe try to sneak in and make the kills.
[2026/06/28 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, then, I'm not going to waste time. You alert the kobolds, they raise the alarm, and within three rounds you got the entire army converging on your position.
[2026/06/28 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: so. Are you SURE you want to do that?
[2026/06/28 15:36] Joe: Mecha is the invisible one, yes? no?
[2026/06/28 15:36] Mecha: No
[2026/06/28 15:36] Joe: *Talia
[2026/06/28 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: At the moment all of you are.
[2026/06/28 15:36] Joe: oh useful
[2026/06/28 15:37] Mecha: Then yes
[2026/06/28 15:37] Mecha: and yes that is what Talia wants to do
[2026/06/28 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: please remember: the idea was to SUBTLY SNEAK
[2026/06/28 15:37] Mecha: Since Talia is invisible it will be difficult to find her position
[2026/06/28 15:37] Mecha: Yes and they are going to subtly sneak.
[2026/06/28 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.... Sapphire, Joe, you going to do anything to prevent this insanity?
[2026/06/28 15:38] Joe: subtly sneaking into the command tent
[2026/06/28 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, you going to be the voice of reason here?
[2026/06/28 15:39] Sapphire: We need to trigger the distraction late, once it looks like mwe might get detected and need an out
[2026/06/28 15:39] Sapphire: before that it's mostly brining the whole house down on our heads, is that how the situation is?
[2026/06/28 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me just stares at Sapphire
[2026/06/28 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.
[2026/06/28 15:39] Sapphire: that is, -not- as the opener?
[2026/06/28 15:40] Mecha: No Talia is going to go to one of the little kobold camps by the woods we ran into
[2026/06/28 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're all one hundred feet from the kobold line. You're within ten feet of each other.
[2026/06/28 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: What do you do?
[2026/06/28 15:41] Sapphire: Casting Invisiblity on myself and joe, and we're gonna start trying to get in. "Talia, if you see me send up a light, start the distraction and keep the army running in the wrong way."
[2026/06/28 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: So you're ONLY casting invisibility on yourself and Joe?
[2026/06/28 15:41] Sapphire: "that sound good?"
[2026/06/28 15:41] Mecha: Takia nods
[2026/06/28 15:41] Sapphire: Talia, you want invisibilty too?
[2026/06/28 15:42] Sapphire: since, dropping a prepared item shouldn't break invis
[2026/06/28 15:42] Mecha: Talia shakes her head."Can't be fully distracting if they can't see me."
[2026/06/28 15:42] Sapphire: "Sure you can, set the fire."
[2026/06/28 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm -complete- bemused by why you chose to tie your armour and take an AC penalty, but, okay.
[2026/06/28 15:43] Mecha: Talia shakes her head."Fine then let's go invisible as well."
[2026/06/28 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Round 1: Sapphire: actiion?
[2026/06/28 15:44] Sapphire: making sure Talia also invisible... and then walking up towards the command tent, watching for any signs of the picket line so we can avoid them
[2026/06/28 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: You are 40' from the kobold line.
[2026/06/28 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe: Action?
[2026/06/28 15:46] Joe: the same - heading toward the command tent. Keeping an eye out for any kobolds whoo might appear superiors than the general ones
[2026/06/28 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe: you are 40' from the kobold line.
[2026/06/28 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: Action?
[2026/06/28 15:46] Mecha: Talia is moving a bit around the edges while keeping the commanders tent in sight
[2026/06/28 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: You are still 100' from the kobold line, then.
[2026/06/28 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round, now round #2.
[2026/06/28 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/06/28 15:49] Sapphire: moving towards the kobold line. How far from the command tent will that get me?
[2026/06/28 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: You are 140' from the tents, and 40' from the line of kobolds.
[2026/06/28 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: It will take you 3 rounds to get there.
[2026/06/28 15:50] Sapphire: ok, will proceed until situation changes
[2026/06/28 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll D20, you may have a +2 bonus.
[2026/06/28 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: DEX check to sneak
[2026/06/28 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waits for Sapphire to roll that D20
[2026/06/28 15:54] D20: Sapphire rolls 5
[2026/06/28 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobolds: "'Ere, I smell 'umen." *sniff sniff*
[2026/06/28 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kobolds: "Don't be daft." *sniff* "Dat magic lady smell, dat. Not 'humens."
[2026/06/28 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: 20' past the line of kobolds, still 80' to the tent area.
[2026/06/28 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe! What are you doing?
[2026/06/28 15:58] Joe: sneakin'
[2026/06/28 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: to?
[2026/06/28 15:58] Joe: the tent
[2026/06/28 15:58] Joe: do i d2o ?
[2026/06/28 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll D20, you may have a +2 bonus, penalized by 1.... so D20-1
[2026/06/28 15:58] D20: Joe rolls 6
[2026/06/28 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Likewise, Joe is 20' past the line of kobold guards
[2026/06/28 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/06/28 15:59] Mecha: Right now, waiting for the signal.
[2026/06/28 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: you realize you're 100' back.
[2026/06/28 16:00] Mecha: Fin move up 60 feet. She can throw a molotove cocktail 40 feet.
[2026/06/28 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: End of round 2
[2026/06/28 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: beginning round 3
[2026/06/28 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/06/28 16:01] Sapphire: Hmmmm. Darn scent... and prestidigitation would break my invisibility... will keep moving so they don't wander into me too quickly. Gonna have to just be quick and watch who's following me.
[2026/06/28 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: what even is prestidigitation?
[2026/06/28 16:01] Sapphire: Will keep moving towards the command tent but at an angle to make it less obvious where I'm going
[2026/06/28 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: That'll put you 30' from the tents.
[2026/06/28 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe?
[2026/06/28 16:02] Sapphire: 30 feet works for now
[2026/06/28 16:02] Joe: more snekaing
[2026/06/28 16:02] Joe: sneaking
[2026/06/28 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: that puts you... 20' away
[2026/06/28 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/06/28 16:04] Mecha: This time staying still she can see the signal if it happens and can hurl an explosive the needed distance for a distraction
[2026/06/28 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: The oil won't explode unlit.
[2026/06/28 16:04] Mecha: True but at this exact moment lighting it will only draw attention
[2026/06/28 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: As long as you're aware.
[2026/06/28 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: end of round 3.
[2026/06/28 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: round 4.
[2026/06/28 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2026/06/28 16:06] Sapphire: how many ways into the command tent are visible from my position?
[2026/06/28 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: form where you are? None.
[2026/06/28 16:06] Sapphire: no tentflaps? curious.... will circle around on the emptier side to see how to get in or out
[2026/06/28 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Probably -a- way, but not from where you are standing
[2026/06/28 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: circling round is your action?
[2026/06/28 16:08] Sapphire: yes
[2026/06/28 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, as you circle round you get a glimpse of some people, who look rather annoyed, apparatly sat on the ground. Tables, crates, a barrel, what look like maps, a few kobolds, some have tin cones.
[2026/06/28 16:09] Sapphire: tin cones?
[2026/06/28 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: A kobold with a tin cone nudges the kobold next to him. "Me got good one!" He walks out to the edge of the hill closest the settlement.
[2026/06/28 16:09] Sapphire: like, hats or like sno cones?
[2026/06/28 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: He puts the tin cone before his face and starts shouting. "Humens! Humens in Milton! We are scaley forces, we fight you! We have dragon, we win, you lose! Give up, save you lives. Put sword down, put hands in air. We allow you live. Is good deal!"
[2026/06/28 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: He lowers the tin cone and the kobolds start laughing.
[2026/06/28 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe?
[2026/06/28 16:10] Joe: sneaking into the tent
[2026/06/28 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: a bold move... DEX check, penalized by 1.
[2026/06/28 16:11] D20: Joe rolls 1
[2026/06/28 16:11] Joe: lovely
[2026/06/28 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you sneak -right- in, and stand quietly behind one of the kobolds, who looks completely oblivious. You can see there's half a dozen kobolds, some with those wierd metal tubes you've seen before.
[2026/06/28 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2026/06/28 16:13] Mecha: I take a piece of cloth and use it to prep my personal flask of oil so I now have 3.
[2026/06/28 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... that's your action.
[2026/06/28 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, end of round 3.
[2026/06/28 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: I guess round TPK can wait to next week, who doesn't love a cliffhanger :-)
[2026/06/28 16:14] Joe: hooray!
[2026/06/28 16:15] Mecha: whew
[2026/06/28 16:15] Mecha: We're not dead.
[2026/06/28 16:15] Sapphire: curious.....
[2026/06/28 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, I decided to save the fun part to next week
[2026/06/28 16:16] Joe: thank you dungeonmistress
[2026/06/28 16:16] Sapphire: thank you for running
[2026/06/28 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, see you next time :-) Oh... wait....
[2026/06/28 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJYZZ2UH-mc
[2026/06/28 16:18] Joe: insightful
