Spell & Tactical Planning Discussions

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

"What do you all prefer? Going right after supper? Or perhaps in the morning when we are all prepared

for such an eventuality?"

[shaidar]

Weston

"I will need to ponder what spells would be best suitable for such an exploration. I think it best we start first thing tomorrow."

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

The Dark Elf digs in as well, not wanting to have her companions wait any longer either. Anuzal had the right idea, in both

senses. Food and his question. As she is eating, she asks the group.

"So, it looks like we will be going to do this. Any thoughts on how to get past any magical traps? Fighting an

evil monster or foe is pretty straightforward. I haven't dealt with any magical traps in my career as of yet. Perhaps

Eilistraee may grant me some spells to help us. I have access to some more powerful divine magics now so that

may come in handy.""

[alver]

Urtesi

"Del... between you, Weston and me I believe we have enough divine magic to find traps." He glances at Trist unsurely, "if these traps are magical our new elven companions should sense them too."

"The problem is though - correct me if I'm wrong here Weston - it will not be easy to remove those traps if they were cast by a master wizard. We can go slowly and see if there is a way around."

[shaidar]

Weston

"You're right, we won't be able to dispel the magic. If we know where they are we can avoid them and others we might be able to find a way to disable them, a command word perhaps. We shall just have to see"

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

"I can cast Find Traps 3 times, but as already stated we have no way of disarming a magical trap."

[alver]

Urtesi

After dinner, when the host and the servants aren't around:

Trist later confides with the others of her suspicions about Kaerin.

"At the very least he is concealing the truth. I can see two ways we can deal with this."

"The direct way: you guys grab Kaerin and hold him while I cast a divination spell. If he is an evil man, it will be revealed. If he is a good man, we will apologize and explain that he is behaving very suspiciously."

"The sneaky way: we play along, fetch the items and hand them over. If he is a good man, no harm done. If he is up to something, we can watch him. Maybe he will lead us to this mystery woman the note is talking about."

"I would recommend the sneaky way."

Delsenora

"I feel the same way. He nearly blurted out he was the son and he seems suspicious to me as well. One of us can Cast Know Alignment the other Detect evil perhaps?

"

Egon

"In my experience most men are a mix of good and evil, I don't trust him, but I don't get the impression he is evil either. People are not my specialty so I will leave the decision on how to proceed to those who know more than I. I will support whatever the decision."

[Dram]

Xlore- Listens to the others discussion. The sneaky way is the way we should go. We make some coin and find what he is hiding.

[PyroArrow]

Therick Ulrazor: Sylvan Elf - Magic-User - Evoker - AC 10 - Hit Points: 8 / 8

Therick says, "Yes, sneaky way sounds good."

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

"So we just need to lay out a plan about how we will accomplish our goal".

[Captain Kinkajou]

Elanriel

Elanriel listens and watches. She doesn't trust Kaerin and doesn't like the sound of magical traps but she will stick with her friends and follow Delsenora's lead.

[alver]

Urtesi We have multiple timelines going on here. My post is continuing the talk after dinner, host and servants not present.

Delsenora

"So we just need to lay out a plan about how we will accomplish our goal".

"Well, we do what he has asked of us. Except that we watch our backs at all times. Once we hand the items over, maybe he will trust us more and tell us what's going on. If we don't learn anything useful, we can pretend to leave and start watching the house. Who comes and goes. If Kaerin leaves, where does he go. The talents of Xlore and Egon can help here."

[Dram]

My post is also after dinner posting.

[tarlyn]

My post is also after dinner posting.

My post is after dinner as well..

[Captain Kinkajou]

My post applies before and after dinner

[tarlyn]

Weston accepts a guest room too

"An early start is wise move, I will have to prepare suitable spells for the day.

He turns to Therick, Urtesi and Delsenora "Perhaps we should have a brief discussion before we retire on the most suitable spells for the investigation. It would be sensible to ensure our choices are optimal and do not overlap"

Just before leaving

Nodding, Del is in agreement.

He turns to Therick, Urtesi and Delsenora "Perhaps we should have a brief discussion before we retire on the most suitable spells for the investigation. It would be sensible to ensure our choices are optimal and do not overlap"

Urtesi suggests that each of the clerics should be ready to cast Find Traps once and take turns using it. They should also be ready to Cure Light Wounds and Detect Magic, at least once. This way, if something happens to one, the others can cover. "I do not know what arcane magic should be prepared."

"I agree. Find traps probably the most important one. If we levae the Detect Magic to the Arcane, then we Divine casters could have more Cures and Find Traps? Off the

top of my head maybe a Detect Evil or some kind of foe detection spell may come in handy as well?"
