"You do seem to have minimal security and magical warts, but are there any magical wards about the area you know of?" Laurentia giggles slightly to herself.
Olana responds to Laurentia "These aren't magical warts! These are cursed vile creatures!" She exclaims before continuing "There are no magical wards, but the witches that do the nightly patrols carry a lantern that burns a special flame of truth. If you are illuminated by this flame, it will reveal you how you truly are. The lanterns have to focus the flame out the front, but do be careful."
Olana says with a worried look on her face "I have wondered that same question myself. It seems quite weird that they would go to all the trouble of summoning the black flame to birth these creatures, but for some reason they do. However, even with the ritual it sometimes does not go as planned and the creature devours the host and all it can until it is sated."
"we'll do our best to avoid the gaze of those lanterns then. I suppose I will attempt to scout it out with Stilgar while the rest of us prepare whatever supplies you think we might need."
stilgar stands from the table motioning to darrimus.
”yes! a man of action! let us make what preparations we need and get this witchy business over with. i suddenly long for the city...the sooner we depart this swampy bog the better.
"Hmm. Maybe a day assault then would best best? Then we wouldn't have to worry about the lanterns and I wouldn't have to rely on torches to see who I'm knocking out."
Olana pauses and looks around. She pulls open a trunk and pulls out a few tattered cloth robes and says "Unfortunately it is all I have. It will be enough to cover you four, but the witches might be quick to spot you if they get too close."
" Certainly seems better than nothing." Laurentia makes sure the robes would fit. "Ash since you and Darrimus are so lively, how about you create a distraction for me and Stilgar while we sneak in?"
"Let's split up." Ash looks to Darrimus. "We'll go together, old chap. Let these two sneak in to get the goods. Help me create a distraction. A fiery one of course."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Deception 9
Laurentia pats around the robe on Stilgar trying to make it fit him correctly and looking for a pocket. " I think I'll fit in here quite nicely. I would like 4 hours to prepare." During this time Laurentia will take advantage of being an elf and get a long rest to get all her slots back.
The group takes the information, potions, clothing and map from Olana and bid her farewell. They then take a four hour rest in the town. The group can leave now and make it to the settlement during the afternoon at the earliest, or they can delay until the evening or even night time if they decide. Ash and Darrimus take the four hour break to discuss the details of their distraction?
Ash hands Darrimus the potion of Fire Giant Strength (DMG 187). "I will burn the vegetation around the witch encampment. Join me in dousing the fields, and perhaps if there are any boulders in the area, you could throw one."
As Laurentia catches up on beauty sleep, Ash heads into the bar to purchase some bottled alcohol. "Hi, could I get some bottles for the road? The strong stuff."
Darrimus will take the potion but not yet drink it. Darrimus will take out his tinderbox and light a torch. He will join Ash in burning the vegetation so they can double the effectiveness. Darrimus will have his shield in one hand and torch in another. He will ALWAYS maintain a visual of Ash.

“hah!”
stilgar points at laurentia and smiles

stilgars smile slowly turns into a foul grimace...
”youre telling me this...this...festering growth which you and your sisters carry is alive? what happens when the boil is damaged..or destroyed?
Olana says with a worried look on her face "I have wondered that same question myself. It seems quite weird that they would go to all the trouble of summoning the black flame to birth these creatures, but for some reason they do.

"we'll do our best to avoid the gaze of those lanterns then. I suppose I will attempt to scout it out with Stilgar while the rest of us prepare whatever supplies you think we might need."
Ash pockets the potion of Fire Breath (DMG 187) and potion of Fire Giant Strength (DMG 187).
"These are sure to be of use."
Darrimus sighs.
”I grow thirsty for battle. Let’s go and if one of these witches have a lantern they can see the truth if my blade across their noggin.”
Darrimus raises his hands assuredly.
”The flat side to knock them unconscious of course.”
" I suppose we could also take a more direct approach. We are in dire need of whatever extra time we can get."
stilgar stands from the table motioning to darrimus.
”yes! a man of action! let us make what preparations we need and get this witchy business over with. i suddenly long for the city...the sooner we depart this swampy bog the better.
Darrimus looks around.
"Hmm. Maybe a day assault then would best best? Then we wouldn't have to worry about the lanterns and I wouldn't have to rely on torches to see who I'm knocking out."
“smart”
stilgar turns back to the witch,
”perhaps you could supply us with clothing which we could use as coven disguises?”
Olana pauses and looks around. She pulls open a trunk and pulls out a few tattered cloth robes and says "Unfortunately it is all I have. It will be enough to cover you four, but the witches might be quick to spot you if they get too close."

Darrimus nods to Ash.
"Whatever you need. Just point my sword... Or Torch."
