"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ooboron begins rubbing at his little eyes with his big hands and (even clumsier than usual) he steps backward at Weaver's suggestion. He continues to wipe at his eyes and make hissing sounds as the battle ends.

"sorry, everyone, but that dress was just SO ANNOYING so I just wanted it to be gone. Like we should be. I mean, I don't want to be here when they start asking around about acid holes in memorable manors. Theo, got the doll?" 

Theo staggers and grabs up the doll again. "That was well done best friends. Let's go!"

You sneak back through the manner, down the secret stairs, through the hallway, down the stairs and back through the entrance hall, and finally, you are outside. As Theo steps over the doorway, an alarm starts ringing loudly. You should probably run

RUN!!

Could I get a skill check of your choice for evading campus security. Any skill check as long as you can justify how you do it. Actually, I’d like you each to make three separate skill checks to evade the professors

OOC: Not sure what the rest of the party is up to, but Theodore would never abandon his friends. In any case, we'll see how it works out.

HELP action to help friends stay hidden

Stealth check to avoid being seen 15

HELP action to get friends through undergrowth

Acrobatics to dodge through bushes and such 22

If faced with the authorities:

"Look mister security guy, do you think I got this way by myself?!" Theodore points to his cuts and bruises and obvious magical injuries. "It was that Greyson Wildmere guy! We were just going for a walk by some fancy house and he decided to attack us! We tried to defend ourselves but look!" pointing to his bleeding wreck of self.

Deception check 11

Like Theo, Weaver will try to stay with the group as much as possible.  If anyone does really poorly on a skill check, Weaver will provide Guidance, and let them (or the DM) roll a d4 to help out.  

She sneaks! Stealth: 9

She uses her magical tinkering ability to imbue a small stone with a six second repeating message that says in a warbly voice "I'm Grayson Wildemere and I do unspeakable things with skunks!"
She will use Sleight of Hand to chuck the stone into a bush as it activates if they are cornered, by way of a distraction:  23

If she needs to fly, she'll do some Acrobatics to evade capture, ducking behind hanging objects and flitting through rafters, saying hi to any bats she sees. 8

Ooboron uses disguise self to look like the vampire professor they saw before. If they run into anyone, he will pretend to be the vampire professor and explain that he is escorting these students back to their dorm, but that they are not the reason for the alarm.

Deception at advantage: 24

As they move, he'll try to smell the air to avoid running into anyone they shouldn't.

Perception (at advantage using smell): 20

For the most part, he attempts to hide.

Stealth: 4

Hilarious. Just waiting on Elsenia's checks. But in the meantime I'll narrate what happens. And props for the blaming it on Grayson. "I do unspeakable things with skunks!"

Theo makes a run for it, pushing his friends along, helping them get away. His nimble rabbit legs carry him unseen through the campus, but, disaster strikes...

Weaver and Ooboron, both not very adept at sneaking, are caught by professors. Ooboron, heart racing, tries to explain, but Theo cuts in, yelling about Grayson.

The teachers, bewildered, do not notice Weaver making her little magic stone, which she subtly flings in a bush. The voice of that little twerp which you all hate so much yells out.

The teachers look around very bewiledered, then run off into the underbrush, leaving you in the 'care' of the 'vampire professor'

Could I have Elsenia make her three checks and narrate how she escapes?

(Sorry for the delay guys!)

Elsenia stays close to the others as they run away from the house, but unfortunately, Weaver and Ooboron are spotted by the professors! With Theo's help, she attempts to stay hidden, blending in with the shadows.

Stealth - 8

The druid is also helped by Theo in dodging hidden obstacles like loose stones and branches in the path as they make their escape.

Acrobatics - 21

Finally, Elsenia relies on her own natural talent for finding her way through unknown areas and is able to find the fastest and easiest path back to the dormitories.

Survival - 13

I am going to use my Inspiration and re-roll that Stealth!

13

You all escape safely. You crash into your dorm, and your dorm-mates hear the ruckus. Aurora looks up from where she sits on a chair in the common room, and eyes you all, until her gaze rests on, predictably, Elsenia "Oh, you're back! Where were you?" though less tac-tfull members of the party would assume the question was meant for anyone, the more insightful among you can tell it was directed specifically at the druid of the group.

Ooboron's illusory magic fades as they enter the building. Uncharacteristically, he is grinning. He puts one arm out and leans against the wall as he tries to catch his breath. "I can't believe we got away!" he says to the others, ignoring Aurora. He repeats something Theo had said, doing a spot-on impression of the harengon, clearly in a friendly way. "It's a good thing Grayson was hiding in the bushes and distracted them so we could get away." He scowls. "What was he saying about skunks?"

Theo pokes his head in the door, a wide grin on his face, "Yeah, Greyson was saying something about wanting his dolly back. Here, you can have it." he tosses the doll to Aurora. He gives everybody handshakes or hugs then leaves to go to his room. Once out of eyesight,  he staggers against the wall and holds his bloody side. He painfully makes his way to his room and wedges it shut with a dagger. Can't let my best friends see me like this... and he passes out.

Weaver has a giggle fit.  "I don't know what you mean, Ooby," she says, with over the top feigned innocence.  Then she bursts into peals of laughter.  "Okay, so since we got the doll, how do we win this thing?  I can't wait to see Skunkbutt's face when he learns we won!"

"What? Wait, is this Sassy Sally Jane? The doll that got locked in Captain Dapplewing's Manor?" Aurora looks at the doll, then down at the trail of blood on the floor. Her eyes flare for a second, glowing red, but she shakes her head and returns to normal "And where did all this blood come from? And what's this about Grayson and skunks?"

Weaver pops out of her reverie.  "Theo!  He got hurt by that stupid bladed dress.  Who puts stabby bits on party dresses?  Honestly!"  She then goes in to see how her friend is doing.

Elsenia notices that Aurora's question was directed at her, and she blushes. She begins to recount the daring tale of how they acquired Sassy Sally Jane when she too notices the blood on the floor.

"Oh no!" she cries. "Theo must've been more hurt than I realized." Elsenia is about to leave to check on Theo but Weaver beats her to it.

Figuring Theo is in good hands, she hangs back with Aurora and finishes telling the story. "We just barely escaped the professors," she says breathlessly.

 His door is solidly locked ,and knocking and calling doesn't rouse the rabbit from his slumber. While initially worrying, the sound of bunny snores brings some relief.
