Elinar will alert the others to what he notices.

Geist perks up at the info. "a way in, huh....see if there are any other ways in, ones that don't look used."

(To Velo: I.. don't know. But, I'll see about fixing that now. That's so weird.)

(Fixed.)

Richter shakes his head quietly to the side at Geist's silliness, but stayed quiet and watchful with baited breath. That, and maybe had a choice word or two at the tip of the tongue to hopefully distract any surprise attackers somehow materializing or descending down the path mountain from some other vector.

As far as the suggestion, he just nodded enthusiastically, and altered his plans slightly to whisper at something or someone off to the side. Elinar would than feel a presence nearby that felt disconcerting at first, but harmless and ready to help in a time of need. How so is uncertain. Only the feeling makes it so.

 I really forgot the use to word door. Wow

(I somehow actually thought it was in reference to the path. Big Brianing over here.)

What is the plan. What are you guys going to do?

well, I can tank, but I don't seem to have the best eyesight, so i'll be second front, point will go to highest perception, wizard behind me, healer behind wizard. (my ideal order of entry anywho.)

(I am going to assume you guys go through the door)

You enter from the door to a hall. Up ahead the path opens onto a wide ledge and the doubles back sharply into the mountainside. Two beastly humanoids in hide armor stand watck on the ledge. They appear inattentive and bored,

ok, Geist attempts stealth by crouching, getting behind the closest cover to him, and not moving. 9

(To Velo: I thought the plan was to give Elinar a chance to look around the base of the mountain/general area for an alternative. But, I guess not. Or, just to make it simple, assume that there isn't and we can move on. Which, I'm more than in favor of the last one, so with that in mind.)

Richter follows suit and mirrors Geist efforts from the very back. Being a man of delicate constitution, there was a temptation to further up his chances of avoiding notice, but he decides against it. If nothing happens on the way to the door, he'll whisper up to those in front. "Somebody gonna take a peek past that door now, or what?"

Stealth: 4.

Lurrinthis unsheathes his sword and prepares to sprint forward. Stealth- 8

Whispering to Geist- "how many?"

((what is the distance to the humanoids?))

wow. we suck at stealth.

Stealth was not Zach's strong point, he knew this well; all previous attempts to hide or sneak past people generally ended up with him stepping on something or falling over in a heap.  Not wanting to let the rest of his companions down, however, Zach held his breath as he prepared to sneak up to the unsuspecting beasts.

Stealth: 19

Stubbing his toe on a jagged rock as he attempted to sneak, Zach lets out an anguished whelp of pain - before sheepishly looking around, hoping that no-one noticed his mistake.

"Oh, for the love of --" Elinar mutters as the others blunder past him. He slinks into the shadows (stealth: 13) and slips closer, prepared to use the others as a distraction to slip past the guards.

 "two so far, might be more...." 15

Richter "hmms" to himself for a moment, and then took out a card to examine. "... That could work." He mutters then quietly offers to knock them out with a trick he knows. Though, he is very quick to add "May work, may not, but should make things easier." If accepted, he'll try his hand at the magic, but if not, he hangs back as others continued to approach, intending to cover their advance with some magic.

Luu nods to Richter to go ahead and try. He indicates that Richter should wait until Elinar is in position. ((he may already be out of sight))

OOC: knock who out?

 (To Spark: I missed this one too, which is why my post before last was off.)

He nods Luu. Although there was the question of how he would even know for certain if if Elinar was stealthy enough to fool the guards, as a gambling man, though not necessarily a good one at that, he accepted the guards would fall wherever they wish to at the end of the day. Once given some kind of signal to proceed, the card he pulled out is turned over several times in hand as he chanted something softly in celestial.

(When signaled to act, casting Sleep at 2nd level over the bestial humanoids if they are within 90ft of Ricther. Use the roll from the spoiler in which case)

can sleep allow the m to be killed without combat? if so, i'm down for that, just wait til they are within safe range of the spell.
