Between The Spaces We Know (ooc and questions Vlll)

[Inferno]

Thanks, Scott. Glad you're back. I hope things get better for you at work.

[Inferno]

The shack is completely consumed in flames!

I'll rule that the heroes slept in their armor, and hauled all their gear (and Telkis' gear) out of the burning building when they fled.

I know, I know. I'm way too soft a DM.

[Urson]

"Soft", he says!

[Inferno]

Sorry, Raven and Socratic. That's four days. Moving it along.

[Scott308]

I'm out of state for a wedding, so I don't know how much I will be on the Servant until Sunday night/ Monday.

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up, Scott. Appreciate it!

[Inferno]

Hey gang,
I'm going away for a week's vacation. I won't have wifi, so we'll pause the action until I get back.

Have a great week, everyone.

[Urson]

A perfect time for OOC planning....

[Inferno]

I'm back. Hope everyone had a good week.

New DM post is up. Let's get back to the soul-crushing horror!

[Urson]

YAY! Hope you had a good vacation.

[Inferno]

Thanks.

Sorry, Scott and Socratic. That's three and a half days. No rest for the wicked.

Raven, Mouser misunderstood Ingrid. Sorry I was unclear. The heroes need not return to the Lost Shrine of Ancient Evil to exorcise the demon that possesses Amity Mantle.

Over the many days of travel, I assume that Brevos and Ingrid have healed the party. I hope I'm not being presumptuous while moving things forward.

[Inferno]

Some useful info:

Jerome has never been bitten by a wolf and does not bear the Curse. Everyone else has.

Bo, Brevos and Telkis drank of the wolfsbane elixir and were cured. Brevos and Telkis were bitten again last chapter, and re-infected. But Long Bo was not, and remains cured.

Last chapter, Urdur brewed 8 new doses of the wolfsbane elixir.

Mouser still has the one silver dagger the heroes found in the secret library in Vicar's Head.

A perfect time for OOC planning....

Yes.
My next post is in three and a half days. Please let me know if you need more time. Good luck, everyone.

[Urson]

Alarmingly, Mouser, Ingrid and Urdur already grow hair on the palms of their hands!

Well, we all know what causes that!

[OGRE MAGE]

I thought it caused blindness.

[OGRE MAGE]

I have ideas for spells that should help, but some of them will depend on the interior layout of the place.

Subduing the girl will be of utmost importance since her magic can affect several of us at once. I think a Summon Insects spell might help there, but I believe a sound game plan for all of us is definitely in order here.

[Inferno]

Moving it along. Scott, I hope you're well! I know RL has been crazy.

[Urson]

I have some ideas- just spitballing here:
split into two groups. one goes in through either entrance, and we smash 'em between us.
block one entrance, attack through the other
send in a couple of fast people to lure them out into an ambush- with plenty of spikes and traps.
as above, but a stealthy type goes in the other entrance and assassinates Demon girl.
A better idea from anyone else- I tend to rely too much on luck and The Rule of Cool...

[SocraticLawyer]

Crazy idea: Urdur casts Invisibility on one of our fastest and sneakiest. Ingrid drops a Silence on the same person. That person sneaks in and kidnaps lil evil Amity. Then Urdur casts Change Self, taking the form of Amity, and orders the wolves to run the other way (or whatever). Meanwhile, Ingrid exorcises the demon from Amity.

That's all I got....

[Inferno]

lil evil Amity

[SocraticLawyer]

Just realized two major flaws with my plan. (1) kidnapping Amity might make the kidnapper visible if interpreted as an attack; (2) the Change Self spell doesn't change voice, just appearance. So that plan probably won't work after all.
