Road to Phandalin

Quote from Bhuraelea >>

His back faces away from you.

Otrov

Okay, so he is looking at the sky.  I'm invisible still so.....my idea is to walk up to him, use my manticore spike and put it through its windpipe and then kick the orc over the side of the tower - towards my friends.. prop the orc up to make it look like it's still standing.

Can I do that?

His back faces towards you ( my mistake) but yes you can make an attack. 

• You are invisible…roll with advantage
• he is surprised…if you hit, it does crit damage, so damage would be 4d6+2d4+dex mod (4 i think)+1 extra from the spike
• also roll initiative if you roll higher then 1 roll a second attack without advantage  and without any extra damage (1d4+5 i think)

Dain glances to those with him. "Should I pull out some dice or cards, something we can do until the coast is clear?" he asks.

"Ehh.... Sure. Should at least keep me awake." Biggz covers his mouth as he yawns and rolls over to face Dain. "Almost dozed off there, I must admit. Which would've been reeaal awkward for the little chatterbox." He chuckled at that. "So, what's the game? Don't really got much a personal poison, so more than happy to leave it up to you, my... uh... frrriiend?" Biggz added, sounding ever bit as uncertain as he looked... which was quite a bit!

"Thats a good idea, but make sure that no light hits the cards. Dain, once Otrov succeeds do you have any magic that could cause distractions like smells? Or even a likeness of a woman laying down hurt? I remember when we approached the castle Cragmaw you guys created an illusion and we hid behind it to get there undetected. Was it you? that did that. I think if we could crawl single file behind something like that we could get closer."

 Okay, I hope I do this right!  I'm taking what you said above and adding them....

Otrov

Otrov slinks up to the snorting orc guard - a disgusting, pig-nosed brute. She quietly takes the manticore spike out of it's holder and readies to pounce, knowing the strike has to be quick and deadly.  The others are counting on me, she thinks to herself.  As the orc looks skyward, she loads her legs like a cat ready to jump on a mouse - then unleashes her attack!  Tymora don't fail me now!

Attack:  14.  If hit, damage = 15 and 13   

Initiative: 16  

2nd attack - Attack: 14 Damage: 6. 

You easily find a gap in the armor of the unaware orc and he dies before even knowing what hit him. He slumps again the crenellations and you quickly stabilise him to keep him up.

You are visible now, but you are still hidden from others because of you’re small enough that the crenellations hide your presence from view.

Otrov 

She’ll fire a bolt in the direction of the group, attaching a crude note written in blood detailing the numbers inside the shrine Bailey, She’ll attach the orc’s ear as well, If possible. She’ll sign it “Viper.”

You look for some parchment and some quill to write a detailed report, but in the end all you find is an orc ear, blood and your fingers. You manage to write the numbers 11+3 on the ear and with some string you attach it to a bolt. You aim and fire to were you think you comrades are...9

20 Otrov, you realise it  was a bad shot and that they might miss it.

Everyone else roll me a perception check, on a 16 or higher, you notice something hitting a bush 45 ft SE of you.

Dragondenn the layout of the shrine, imagine the flag of Switzerland or the red cross, a cross shaped building within a square outer wall. The outer walls are heavily damaged on the s and w side (not visible from your current position though).

 DM is Otrov on top the northern tower or the eastern?  And can I see the group or too far away?

Margret: perception10

Marco perception: 15

Margret looks towards the walls looking for the flash of a mirror but sees none. She wonders if she should of loaned hers from her thieves tool kit

"Mr Biggz any change? Its been awhile"

"Huh?" Biggz responds, looking up from his set of cards. He then cocks his head to the side for a second in thought. "Huh... You know now that you mention it, I don't feel that... fuzzing feeling in the back of my head. That's... probably... I dunno" Biggz grunts a bit as he rolls into position to peek past cover looking for signs of the halfling.

Perception: 14.

"Yea.. not seeing her. But, there's not shouting, so... that's a good sign at least."

ooc: Kayla? Dain perception checks?

Otrov

......remembers embarrassingly the plan and curses her halfling forgetfulness. She takes the small mirror out of her pack and moves to where she thinks the group is and does some reflection-y things with it, hoping nothing other than her friends see it. 

Kala had been sitting there as still as possible, she wasn’t very good at hiding. She started biting her nails at one point as she was nervous that Orvok had not returned yet. 

Kala perception: 17

”oh hey guys, something just landed over there” she points towards the noise “sounded like an arrow or rock or something”

Margret shrugs "It could of been a bird" She looks in the direction of the shrine perception 15 then towards the area that Kala pointed too. Not willing to give up her position she goes into Marco's sense acting like a bat does he flits around above that area echo locating but looking like he's diving at a cloud of nats perception 17

(I know what knat's taste like yuk but he was looking for the bolt )

"Hahah... Yea. Perhaps a certain blood thirsty one at that." Mr. Biggz jokes and chuckles a bit. He then tries to follow Kala's direction with her help. And if he should spot the arrow within 30ft or so, or as best as he can figure, he scratches at some scruff and narrows his eyes. "Now if only I... wait, who that trick go again? Hm...." He looks to Dain and Margaret. "Psst! Think one of ya fly boys can snatch it and bring it on over?" He asked curiously.

She comes out of Marco's senses she quietly says?

"Someone said something? There's a bolt over there with something attached I don't think Marco can get it, Dain how about your cat. Marco will show you it"
