[New Stuff]
[Sepes 29th, 1634TH]
[Location: City of Samma, Donara]
[Time: 2:30:00 pm - Samma city, Donara]
Kiet sits at the table with a look that could break
stone at a glance. Sitting with arms crossed he listens
to the plans outlined.
Kiet is pretty much finished here, and now really just wants
to leave. This place has had an odd effect on the members of
this group. Kiet understands the problem Fremea has with
slavers, and Kiet thinks they are scum as well, but slavery is
just a part of life around here, and especially back home.
Kiet decides to ask the question, "Must we really go this far?
Personally I have no interest here. We already have gained
much." Kiet thinks a bit more and says. "Besides, I think this
is way off track from where we started, which was to help Fremea
find her parents. Not try to end slavery or even the lives of
slavers."
Raban perks up, "I agree. We have gotten off track a bit.
But we have two weeks to get to the capital. We know if we
get there early we'll just have to wait. A few extra hours may
not matter. It is a noble thing to help with this."
"Besides," Kell speaks up, "it might lead to more wealth."
The Half-Elf smiles with a twinkle in his eye. Then he
becomes serious, turning to Roerick. "What is the chance
this will affect things here?"
"In the province it will do great things. I have no
doubt that it will stop slavery here in the province for
months even years. The nobles and merchants will think
twice. In the nation itself? If we can become a stable
group and grow support then we can strike other areas. It
only takes a few dedicated people to take down a nation."
Raban looks interested, "are you that organized?"
Roerick nods slightly, "for the most part we are. We
could use more work. But we are learning from those like
in the Sea Star group to use cells. But like the Sea
Star we are not against the government itself. Thus
we are less a threat. We are after the institution of
slavery only. We do have noble support on this. I
think this action...this day...could lead to great
things for the nation and for our group. We seek no
fame or fortune just an end to evil deeds like slavery."
Kell raises a hand, "but you admit you're a unrefined
group with less than great combat skills."
Roerick nods, "yes but we are learning daily. When
are not on side missions or at home we train with
what we know. There is a city guard in town that will
train us in combat uses like the sword and such. It
will take time but a good sword is never high quality
out of the forge until it is shaped and molded."
Some look around and nod but Kiet just stares at one
of the waitress staff who has a shirt that is just short
enough to see nice things. Some see the ideals of Roerick
to be good but could it be a disaster.
Fremea listens to all the ideas passed around, thinking
that a lot of them are really good ones.
"Ok, so the Illusion idea is very good. Now, the only issue
with someone being Mavac is if there is a password needed or
something is off with him when he is at their estate. Though I
think that could be played off as he is injured or possibly
poisoned. Grosis is in the wagon, two of you can also be driving
the wagon, so that would get three people in to the area. I will
find a way in and we can have Raban come in through a back
wall." She winks at him knowing what he can do. "There needs
to be a signal that tells us in the back area when to go. I
would say hire some thugs, ones that don't matter, to be the
chasers, so that our friends here will not be hurt and can help
better when needed."
"I am not sure who would be best to be Mavac, but it would be
best to have Will as a guard on the wagon with Unali in disguise.
I guess that really leaves Kiet to look like Mavac to get inside.
Z, Raban and I will then get inside through the back. Corona can
do some recon over the whole area too."
"Other ideas on this? I am not sure what will happen once
inside, but no one there can be left to talk about we are going
to do. It is very important to make sure everyone is kept quiet."
Unali studies the map details and looks at the back area.
She asks about the back hallway. Fremea asks the same of
the guard who reconed the place.
"It is a raised area like any long hallway. Some nobles
even have such a walkway from the estate to a barn or a
courtyard to avoid the rain. But this has walls not a walkway.
I could not see windows or doors to it." The thralled
guard replies. "It is a single solid hallway that goes from
the back of the house to the square area in back behind sit.
There is no gap along the way."
Etain shrugs, "the notes seem vague. The architect only
made it and never learned the purpose. He did mention it
was awfully long for a hallway to a bathhouse or whatever
is in the back. But he figures nobles are just stupid with
money."
Kell sighs, "the problem is distance from the fence to
the house. That's a hundred or so feet. Even a person
running would take what 10-15 seconds. In that time the
guards woould notice. Going in front is a bad idea but
it is something not expected."
Arawn listens to all this and then adds, "Why are we splitting
up the group?," Arawn chimed in. "Unless there's a clear and
significant reason to do so splitting up will only serve to make
us more vulnerable and increase the likelihood of detection."
"If all are set to investigate this building reconnaissance
might be wise. A simple invisibility on Kiet would allow him to
move close enough to the building to use his scrying sphere. Or
I can move up and peer through the wall. Afterwards we can then
form a clearer plan of action as well as have the advantage of
knowing the best, or at least decent, points of infiltration."
Kell shrugs, "I do not know what Fremea has in mind. But
I suspect she wants things split up in case one fails at
the estate. Word could get to the moneylender and that loot
is all gone. Why not go in force to get the loot? Why
send a dozen people to get loot two can do. We do have
a time table here as well. Fremea told us about the other
guards she killed helping Grosis. How long before the city
looks for the killer? Plus the others here will be enough
to handle the estate. More will just add to the planning.
But I speak out of turn." Kell looks to Arawn and deep down
he suspects Arawn should not be there to object to what may
be needed.
Raban nods, "we took the Vong we can handle a simple estate
with ease. I do believe once we finish this estate we should
leave immediately. This is why we may need that loot. If
we stall and all wait for the loot it could take some time
for them to gather the funds. As to spending time to recon
the place we could find everything out. Then what? We know
the layout of the place that will help yes. But of the people
they will move and shift. It will be old info."
Roerick nods, "plus Mavac may be simply on duty. If they
can't find him he'll be missed a day. Fine. But what if
at his rank as captain he is needed more. They will start
to question that and look for him. His other guards who may
be working with him may get to the estate and then we will
be possibly betrayed."
Kell finishes a roll and then looks around. "So. If things
are good me, Arawn and Etain after the loot. Fremea will
find a way in probably on the second floor. Unless things
change Kiet can go as Mavac. Unali and Will as guards and
Mavac can claim Grosis betrayed them. Z'leyra and Raban will
use the back way in over the fence or whatever. That leaves
the dozen or so helpers. The gatehouse is likely to have
at most two guards. I think hiring thugs is a bit dangerous
for us as a wild card. I think we could have 5 men on horses
of Roericks give chase..slowly. The other 7 or so can go
through the back. That is 9 in back, 8 at the gate and one
at the house. No. That may not work. We'd have to scare
the chasers away to return to help us. Once inside Mavac can
head quickly to the house and enter by the front. Once the
signal is given the others can breach the back and the other
chasers can return to the estate to help from the front with
Unali and Will helping them against any resistance in the front.
This is only a rough plan. The illusion doesn't have to
be very long lasting once inside Mavac can even find the Count
and hold him hostage if need be or kill him. There are some
flaws in this plan but unless others come up with a better plan
I'm here to listen. Then again hiring thugs could allow Mavac
and his friends, Roerick's 5 or so to get inside the grounds
faster and fight the thugs and then attack the estate guards. As
to a signal Corona can help with that spanning the distance
greatly if needed."

Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Monday...12/29.
GM: A short update. Could not get it out yesterday as not
enough posts. Then when got them ran out of time due to
seeing the Hobbit that afternoon. Gandalf though would
not let me pass without doing the update so here goes.
This is out of order though. I figure no one will have
time to reach by Monday. So consider this the Monday
update. Then we have X-mas. Which we all are likely to
be busy so I will not work on a update then UNLESS there
is a slew of posts. If not then I will work on it 12/29.
This gives you guys 9 days to iron out the plans. In the
end Fremea can decide the final orders given as elected
leader. Feel free to argue points and such in the list.
I will answer things as needed.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
GM: Fremea - In the end you have final say. These plans making
can take a long time in pbem unless everyone posts on
a regular basis instead of waiting for the others to post.
Kiet - Do you refuse to act on the suggestions given or
is this a in character thing based on your personality?
GM: Tasks to do -
* Find mysterious Mage - Upcoming updates
* Sell loot if possible Upcoming Updates

Windows dot the main house every 5 feet along all wall but the
hallway to the back building and rear building area.
Front gate is a thick iron gate wide enough for a wagon.
Windows are both ground and second stories. Most windows on
ground floor have curtains or last seen by guard open. He
claims second story windows were mostly closed (curtains).
No idea on what is on roof.
