Chadwick, Trolkarl and the Murder Monkey all walk down the hall as quietly as they can. The survivors will look back on this as where it all started to fall apart. ((Rolls in app))
Chadwicks heavy armor creaks and scrapes loudly as he creeps down the hall. Trolkarl doesn’t fare much better. There is an orc guard standing in a dimly lit doorway ahead that leads to the stairs. “Who is it? Show yourselves!,” he calls out with an axe at the ready.
Starker reminds the folk still in the room that there were several guards posted around the corridor when we came through last, including one to our left (South).
Chadwick and Trolkarl will step forward and speak in best best commanding voice... "Hold it down! Are things cleared up here? Duren and the thing downstairs" holds fingers in front of his face like tentacles "told us to be discreet. Now make sure we are clear to move to the street. And let's be professional so none of us have to answer for screwing this up."
Straight Deception from Trolkarl - 7, if we can use Chadwick to help - 24 with a natural 20
I honestly don’t know. I would think if they are around mages or have any arcana maybe give them a chance to know. But your world your cll on this one I think
One of these days I'll get to pull off the wookie gambit...one of these days.
---I wrote out a melee attack before looking at map. Looks like Chadwick can't reach him, unless he got a reaction attack. I don't think it was, but will leave it here just in case.
To hit: 23 dam: 12
Hit:18, dam:7
If bonus action allowed attack with blunt end:24, dam:7
The roll and damage I believe should both be one higher if the +1 applies to the non-slashy end.
---Assuming Chadwick wasn't able to do a melee attack he'll move up, then chuck a hand axe and dagger.
Loud whisper: "Trolkarl, DUCK!" Then proceeds with his favorite new thing of throwing axes at heads.
Hand axe to hit:16 dam: 7
Dagger: 16, dam: 6
In case the others didn't pick up on Trolkarl's yell, he'll start frantically waving them towards the staircase.
The orc crumples to the ground and tumbles down the steps to land in a heap st the bottom. Its axe clatters down the steps as well. Trolkarl successfully dodges the orc and avoids falling as well.
Chadwick will dislodge his axe from the orcs head and dagger from its back. He does a quick glance back to make sure the others are following, then moves quickly upstairs. Saying to Trolkarl "Let me take point, we're probably gonna take fire when we poke our heads up."
At least if the orc had a two handed axe it'll make a nice upgrade for Hoid over the quarterstaff.
Kragen, hearing the commotion of combat, Sheppards Lady Arin behind him, putting her between him and Hoid/Gnueman. During the process of shepparding, he casts Guidance on her (active for 1 min).
”Stay close Lady Stormrider, trouble ahead.”
to Hoid/Gnueman “Fighting in the hall, we may have to fight our way out.”
then bolts (at least that’s how he pictures it) to follow the noise. When through the storeroom door, looks left to ensure nothing that way and then continues on to the stairs to the Octagon.
Sounds good, but Starker still thinks sending Chadwick, Trokarl, and Cyrus ahead a little bit makes sense. Give them a minute or two lead at least.

Started to fall apart? I think that started five minutes after we took this bloody quest lol.
Does the guard look familiar to Chadwick?
He does not

Straight Deception from Trolkarl - 7, if we can use Chadwick to help - 24 with a natural 20ha, that’s frickin funny!!
The orc looks at you both for a minute. Then turns to run.
Trolkarl to act.
I said to be discreet, you fool!
Action: Booming Blade trying to hamstring him with Darkbane
to hit:25, damage: 11 slashing,+ another 2d8 thunder damage if he elects to move before my next turn
Boring conversation anyway.
MOVE OUT NOW! calling back to those down below
The orc is wounded.
((Question: Does the orc know that moving will cause him harm? Or, just that he is now ensheathed in "booming energy"?))
Chadwick to act

Starker: “Time to go. Last ones out keep an eye to the south.”
when Starker can act he heads out and does something useful.

/plans?

The orc had a battle axe.
You head upstairs to find a small, empty room.
...
Starker joins Chadwick, Trokarl, and Cyrus. Pauses to listen to see if the minor fracas has caused any audible reaction.
