Once Kryinor is finished his meditation he turns to his companions and smiles "Luna is with us this morning, I can feel her energy coursing through my entire body, I sense she mourns for our brothers and sisters....... There is something else that could help us get into the castle unseen, a spell that my old teacher was quite fond of, i've spent most of the night trying to remember it and i'm quite confident i remember the phrasing, if i get it right it will quieten our steps and shroud our movements from unfriendly eyes, we will be like ghosts on the wind. Does that sound less like blindly charging to our deaths?" Smiling and winking at Zaxx. When the group is within 15 minuts of the castle Kryinor will pause, pulling ash from his pack, raising his hand to just infront of his mouth, he will blow softly on the ash and as it falls to the ground moves his other hand through the ash cloud, in slow flowing motions. concentrating he mutters the words "Sine ulla" (OOC: Casting Pass without Trace - 2nd lvl spell). Each of the companions will start to notice if they do not focus on a particular member of the party, that members figure will start to ever so slightly meld into the background, but comes into clear focus if they look directly at them. "It worked, those greenskins wont know what hit them......" Kryinor will continue moving on following Titus's lead.
Titus smiles at his companions, checking his bow and swords in their places he turns and stalks off towards the canvass dropsheet covering the ruined wall entrance.
Checking his way as he goes, Titus carefully moves up to the canvas, pauses, listening for sounds beyond, checks the edges to see if there's any tripwires or other traps.
When we are still in the woods "Haha, if we had a full warband of your dwarven brethren armed and armoured to the teeth, then there would be no need for stealth Kargan, but we only number five now. A point my temper forgot, with a calmer mind I can see the wisdom in getting into the castle unseen. If we try to storm the castle without stealth it is likely all of us will be full of arrows before we reach the walls. Fear not though as soon as we are in close quarter combat, there will be no need for stealth, then you can sing to your gods as loudly as you like!"
He will put on his magical belt if no one .
Once we reach the castle Kryinor will position himself in the middle of the group thus keeping everyone under the effects of his spell. He will follow Titus's lead.

OOC: While within 30ft of Kryinor everyone has a +10 to stealth, last 1 hour. Pass without trace 2nd lvl spell.
Kryinor speaks words of magic, all feel some kind of arcane field spring up around him and envelop all who stand hear.
Titus leads the advance through the forest around to the north entrance observed earlier. Then you all move like phantom spirits of the wood across the large clearing to the ruined manor castle. It's broken towers claw at the rosy dawn sky like the broken fingers of some long dead titan.
No sounds of alarm emanate from the ancient structure as you move to the threshold of the concealed entrance, the crude work of the goblin engineers obvious at this close range.
Again Titus's practiced eyes scan the canvas and the ground before it for alarms, or tripwires and finds none.
Then careful slender Elf fingers pull back a small portion of the curtain and peer inside...
This tower has almost completely collapsed, although the ground floor still has a little open space. Rotting crates and ancient barrels show that provisions were once stored here. A heavy curtain blocks a crumbling area to the south, and an intact door leads east.
Faint sounds of fervent chanting can be heard from somewhere beyond the curtain to the south.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Titus's face reappears from around the canvass smiling at his companions and he motions for the rest of party to come inside.
Once everyone is inside he motions towards Kryinor and then to towards the chanting coming from the south. He then moves to the eastern door and listens

Zaxx fiddles with the new magical ring on his finger as he nervously stands at the rear of the party. When Titus ushers them into the ruined castle proper the young mage's heart skips a beat.
"This is it," he whispers to his hat, as he crosses the threshold towards his destiny.
While his companions move to the other doors to serveil Zaxx will gingerly poke around this area.
Titus moves to the eastern door and listens carefully. He hears nothing apart from the air moving through the stone corridors and the occasional creaking of ancient timbers or small stone falling.
Kargan is fairly sure that the faint voices have the tone of goblin yammering. He does not speak the filthy language but has heard the foul creatures many times before.
Eedim looks meaningfully at Kargan as he takes out his axe and mouths 'Gorbbi'.
Zaxx tentatively searches the rotting crates and barrels, finding long decayed supplies of food and household items, now rendered useless with age. Apart form kindling, he thinks to himself.
Kryinor moves to the curtain drawn across the gap in the crumbled walls to the south, peering beyond. There is no light here so all details are varying shades of gray. Another fifteen feet further south there is a second curtained gap in the crumbling walls and it looks like there are passages or gaps leading to the east and west. The chanting is slightly louder now that the heavy curtain is not muffling the sounds for the Druid.
Zaxx sniffs at the rotten detritus, picks up a stone from the floor and places it in his sling, slowly spinning the weapon in a casual arc. He stands in the centre of the room.
The door to the east opens inwards and has neither lock, bar, nor latch that Titus can see. He does think he can quickly improvise a stay or jam with the available stone and wood rubble that will keep anything from opening it. Unless they are particularly strong, but at least it would keep them busy for a few minutes.
Once Titus has got the door secure and is with him, Kryinor will creep about 10 ft into the room behind the curtain and peer round the corner to east and then to the west, searching for where the goblin chanting is coming from.
Kryinor moves quietly forward into the room. Looking left and right he sees a door in each direction 10 feet either side. The chanting grow louder and seems to be coming from the Western door.
OOC: Edit to show positions of characters before next posts!
Titus waits at the doorway until he gets eye contact with Kryinor and then motions that the party should assemble back in the first alcove. when people are together he whispers:
"now gents, once the fighting starts those greenskins will come running like the very snot out of their noses. I suggest we need to make sure we are fighting with only cleared area behind us. We should start through here (motions towards the eastern door he had rigged) clear this area and then move on, always with cleared area and a way out behind. We don't need to to be fighting back to back."
"We can set a trap on that doorway (indicating the open way Kryinor just came back through) and then go through east and if we need to bar the door behind us."

Kryinor moves cautiously toward the heavy curtain, moving the curtain only enough that he can peak into the room beyond.

The chanting is slightly louder now that the heavy curtain is not muffling the sounds for the Druid.
Titus motions to the group that he can't hear anything through the eastern door.
Inspecting the door he determines weather it is an inwards or outwards opening door and straight bar latched or lock type.
If the door opens outwards Titus takes a piece of wood from the detritus on the ground and carefully and quietly wedges into the door/frame gap.
Zaxx sniffs at the rotten detritus, picks up a stone from the floor and places it in his sling, slowly spinning the weapon in a casual arc. He stands in the centre of the room.
Kriynor will signal the all clear and wait for Titus to be finished rigging the door keeping a lookout until he is finished.
I tighten my grip on my axe
"Aye Eedim, Grobbi! I hope there are enough of 'em to go around"

Once Titus has rigged the door he moves to the south door of this room and covers kryinor
Kryinor moves quietly forward into the room. Looking left and right he sees a door in each direction 10 feet either side. The chanting grow louder and seems to be coming from the Western door.

Zaxx watches Kryinor move into the next room and glances at the Barbarian.
"After you, good fellow," Zaxx smiles.
[OOC: Zaxx will generally try to stay towards the rear of the party preferably with the Barbarian or dwarf (or both!) in front of him.]
