Welcome to our little adventure Zero

[Inferno]

Synth, I'm leaving tomorrow on a work trip and will be back Monday night.
If I'm slow to respond this week, please NPC Ulfang for me to keep things moving along. Thanks.

Best,
Inferno

[Synthalus]

No problem, have a safe trip brother.

[Dram]

So is the whole party following Synthalis to the back of the caverns?

[GreyWolfVT]

I dunno I am entirely lost we keep going back and forth on who is doing what.

[Inferno]

So is the whole party following Synthalis to the back of the caverns?

I don't think so.

Sotha said: "I suggest we take care of the orc females and the young first... the force from the explosions will be enough to collapse nearly the entire complex in theory. If we draw the main force deeper into the caverns by slaughtering their foul young, I can teleport the party to the safety of the mountain trail beginning... I only ask that one warrior come with me as protection, well I place the charges deeper in the caverns."

Saph said: "We can draw the Orcs deeper into the cavern where the Wyvern cannot give chase. But we cannot blow the cavern till are sure all the slaves are safely out of here."

Ariknoq said: "The warrior-priest takes a firm hold on Excommunicator and heads with the others toward the male orc caves."



So, it looks like...
Sotha wants to place magic grenades in the caverns that hold women and children. His escape plan is teleporting the party out. I don't think he ever mentioned saving the slaves.

Saph agrees but wants an escape plan for the slaves too.

Sotha didn't reply yet about saving the slaves.

Ariknoq and Ulfang are going to caverns that hold male warrior orcs, not women and children.

Tarcil Ranger/Cleric will have no part of fighting women and children

[Dram]

Yes now I am confused also. Everyone needs to post on what they are doing. As a thief I am wanting to defeat the orcs than the Wyvern than going in after it treasure horde.

[saalaria]

Stefan is off to fight the warriors with Ariknoq and Ulfang

Same is my want and desires as well as intent.

[Inferno]

Ok. Looks like Sotha isn't going to kill the Wyvern for us. So, in front of us are the orc horde. Behind us is the Wyvern.

Options:
1) Divide our forces: half kill the Wyvern while half face the Horde at the 10 foot wide bottle neck at the cave entrance.

2) We pour all our oil across the cave mouth and set it alight to delay the Horde. Then all of us rush back and kill the Wyvern before the orc horde reach the Wyvern cave. Then, together we face the Horde.

3) Retreat into the tight tunnels in the shaman caves, where the Wyvern can't fit, and kill the orcs as they enter single file or two abreast.

Here's the map: viewtopic.php?p=184590#p184590
One square = 10 feet.

Of these, I like 2 or 3.
Any other ideas?

[Dram]

It sounds like Sotha Sil made our minds for us. We either follow him or died in a cave-in with his grenades.

I pick 3 it is the only choice or die.

[Inferno]

Yeah.

Sotha said he was laying grenades, then he'll return to us, and then teleport out with whoever of us don't want to die in the cave in.

Given that our hand is forced, options 2 and 3 at least lure Orcs inside to perish in the cave in. The deeper back we go, the more Orcs will fit into Sotha's trap.

So I'll also vote for 3, unless anyone has other ideas?

[Grognardsw]

I suppose #3. We're relying on Sotha to teleport us out, otherwise the caves collapse on us for a TPK.

[Inferno]

Synth, do we know where the slaves are?

In the valley, I hope!

[Synthalus]

I've got a plan for the slaves .........

[saalaria]

I am agreement in three as Stefan wants to live!

[Storm11]

Thurgot (having no idea what's going on) will offer his holy support to his comrades. "So what is the plan brethren? Let us seek to offer the chance of rebirth to these greenskins"

[GreyWolfVT]

might want to post that in the IC thread Storm11 this is ooc.

[Storm11]

Good point sir well presented
