Re: Expedition to Myth Drannor
In reply to DM (msg # 965):
Whilst Kitheras is doing his thing, Krackor is inspired by the gifts of the Bronzed Lord.
Corym, if you will hear me out, I have a plan for the gifts I shall ask for as follows.
With two entrances, I am hoping that at least one of the rooms passed them is for the smaller sized peoples like myself. I shall go close to this entrance invisible if I may, and guard it. This will be my post and I shall watch through the door.
When I have positioned myself, with Crossbow ready, I will create an Anti-Vermin barrier from the doorway outwards. After a short enough period for me to become fully acquainted with my post, I shall cast a spell on these three stones. Showing three stones he had collected earlier from the rubble below. Then cast Silence with a 15 foot radius around the entrance way and slightly into it, avoiding me. Then with you all within 5yds of me, I shall cast Defensive Harmony on you all, this will give you additional order to your combat, meaning you will remember the training you have had and seen, thus allowing you to work better and more defensively together.
I will then cast Caltops throughout the complex followed by Summoning Insects in the area. Because they won't be able to exit through the entrance I am guarding, the insects will go through the complex, the Hobgoblins moving over caltrops and getting stung, taking damage and with luck, rushing into the other side, your side of the complex, still affected by the Caltrops and potentially by the Insects that make it through. I will then Call Upon Holy Might to increase my ability to throw. Throw the stones at any Hobgoblins that try to exit my side and then fire my crossbow at them or vice versa, encouraging them to head your way. Once they have left the back part, I can cancel the Insect Swarm, the Hobgoblins no doubt confused and in pain now, I cancel the Caltrops and give the signal, I enter the rear as you enter the front.
As nothing would have been going on at your side, I'd imagine my banging on the door to the rear entrance will draw the Hobgoblins attention, you then enter, invisibly and with the noise I am making, silently and take them out in a harmonious battle dance.
Giving time for this to sink in, he follows up with These are all spells you have seen me utilise before except the Harmonious Defense one, just never in this manner before.
With Kitheras' analysis of the complex, this may also enhance things.
