>>/4511/
She's released me for strategy. She decided the scenario is set and has softened her stance for scenarios and ideas that I could coordinate at this point. She says anything I say may or may not affect the scenario as it unfolds so if I give away 'her secrets' then they're subject to change and again she hasn't thought it past this scenario as it stands, so I am free to speculate.
So read this first:
>>/4509/ and >>/4510/
here's how I took it given the current evidence:
1. They're evil obviously so they're free game if we can take them.
2. I at least want to mess with them.
3. I took a few Yulya heart attack causing liberties to help set up the scene, two of my clockwork babies are ready to command, one to distract them and together with the other one possibly sting the buttholes of a rothés to get them to go crazy and stampede away with their cart. So obviously Alice needs to go unhook the kids at the back of the cart so they're not dragged to their deaths.
4. The cart goes off at warp 1 and the two can either run after it or are now forced to deal with us.
At this point we can Run, Yulya gets the horses going and Cat coaxes them to go double speed. Or...
Pending everyone's input, here's my heroic plan:
1. I lured them off the cart and set up an ambush against them.
2. I have my curses. I want to boost Dampen Spirit to 1MP and cast it on the Ranger because Bear's a Ranger and Zephyr Strike is OP so he's got to get some kind of disadvantage. If he's Demoralized he'll have -4CHA, and disadvantage on all saving throws. I then cast Dampen Spirit on the other one. -4 CHA and disadvantage on Initiative
3. I know we're squishy as hell but Yulya has Bane so assuming they have bad initiative now, we not only get ambush strikes, but then go first on the second round so if she can cast Bane on both of them they get a -d4 on their attack rolls.
4. Yulya casts Sanctuary on Cat making her hard to hit especially since the ranger will have disadvantage on saving throw. Yulya can only have concentration on one spell, that's bane not sanctuary so it's ok.
5. I cast my 1MP summon and then now I'm a Panther, probably tangled in clothes but I will grapple the spellsword making him unable to cast or do any hitting without disadvantage.
6. Cat like targets their face for maximum carnage. If they're both level 4, that's about 30HP each, but Joy said their levels are unknown at this point. Which means the silver plate thing could be a bluff. They might just be rich juicy well equipped 1st levels. Imagine if that's the case? It's a gamble but I'm a big gambler. Remember, you can't level outside sanctioned means and they're both evil. So they might have convinced a sorceress somewhere with access to a portal to level them but do you really think two slave runners are capable of doing that?
I think we have a shot.
