Well in that case, Cresty will need another Pass Without Trace, to eliminate his scent. Which Wes will be happy to supply.

Maag

"No chance", says Maag bluntly. "Der bleedin' sword, shield and stupid little stone are all bleedin' useless to me. An' I don't fancy my chances of carryin' all dem coins out of 'ere. I want dat 'orn. Yer can 'ave der flyin' stone back instead".

Cresty and the Princess could go together. The spell is Silence 15' radius. Plenty of room to move around in there

Wes This is what Wes is going to do to attempt. I'll try and keep it in order of actions. 1. Wes digs out a foxhole, making it as concealed as he can not sure if the snow is deep enough - he'll dig it next to/behind a large rock if he can . He keeps it within about 70' or so of the bridge. 2. He as...

Maag As the stone swirls around his head, Maag closes his eyes and raises his hands to his temples. After a few seconds, he begins to speak. "Der...square...of der...hypotenuse...is equal to der square...of der other two sides!" Eyes wide open, Maag snatches the stone from the air. Holdin...

How about Tlatchga begins the call lightning spell. Wes spreads oil of slipperiness just outside the cave entrance and the readies a snare. Cresty (when calll lightning casting time is complete, receives a signal and does his best to taunt the dragon to leave the cave. Cresty runs out the cave with...

Gyb Gyb places three stacks of shiny copper coins on the bar. "Hello Mr Wilf! Gyb would like one ale, one stew and one place to sleep please!" He leans in a little closer. "Bugs has also promised one ale to Gyb if you see him". "Haldric, Gyb would like to go back to the cav...

Alordan draws the pretty sword to examine it further. “Well if no one is interested I’ll hold on to this. I have this one that is quite nice” He’ll consider the chain mail also next if folks are preoccupied still. Maag already has a magical bastard sword and has no use for the shield or the chainma...

Maag Maag limps over to Grimble. "Not bad. Not at bad all. I thought dat yer would at least be missin' a couple of fingers". He looks at Grumble's bag suspiciously. "Talkin' of losin' fingers...if yer givin' dem shiny fings away, I reckon' dat I will try my luck". Maag dips in h...

I checked with OM, there are rock columns in the cave we could use for Snares. The bridge is also only 10' wide, so a rope passed under the bridge would still have 30+' usable length. We could use Stone Shape to dig out anchor points if necessary. Even a Str of 23 would still hold the dragon for an ...

I don't know if it's best to discuss some ideas & tactics here, or in OOC but I'll start here: 1. Wes (and Tlachga) can cast Snare (or whatever it's called - loop of rope catches and traps a limb.) There are places to tie off the snares, we could place several around the cave and cave mouth to ...

Wes "As much as the king wants the dragon dead, surely he wants his daughter back more?" asks Wes. At the mention of calling down lightning on the dragon, Wes looks a little dubious. "With both of us summoning it, I'd be surprised if the dragon survived the first stokes, but... what ...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!

The Caves sound fine

Gyb

"Gyb would take a free drink." He heads along with the others.

Maag "Oi Grimble!" Maag calls over. "If yer goin' to keep messin' wiv dat fing, do me a favor will yer?" He pulls a piece of charcoal from his beltpouch and tosses it to the gnome. "Write a big L an' R on yer arms, so when dey get blown off we know what shoulders to stick d...

Wes Seeing the others in a huddle, Wes approaches. "Is fighting the beast our only option? The last one we fought almost killed all of us. This one is likely much more ferocious". "Right now it doesn't know we're here. Is there a way to use that advantage while we have it?" Wes ...

Hake

Hake raises his shield to block out the sight of the scarecrows. Moving over to Dougal, he takes hold of the strap on the ranger's backpack. Gripping it firmly, Hake attempts to pull Dougal back into shelter.

Gyb

Gyb hopes to avoid serious questioning by Mrs Peppy, but is willing to vouch for "Monsters in bushes and many gnolls" if questioned. He hands over his javelins to Sabine slowly, trying to avoid eye contact with the angry wife.

Wes

Wes remains at the cave mouth for the moment. If there is something nasty lurking just beyond the bend, he reasons, there's no point in everyone standing close together to be attacked by it.
