title
Gadafthree's Company, Episode 2

Current Objectives

  • Disrupt Calcifer's Orc Forces
    1. Obtain identifying objects from two chiefs of rival orcish tribes.
      • Sub-Chief Ury
      • Sub-Chief Dury
    2. Murder the leader of several orc tribes, Kunite the Strange
    3. Plant the objects.
    • Ensure no witnesses
    • Use Kaldur's Murder-Shroud to incinerate the leader's body, so it cannot be regenerated.

Events

  • We traveled to a tower and found some mean dudes. COMBAT!! After a grueling combat, we succeed! We rest for the evening.

  • The next day, we discuss our next steps.

    • Kaldur can move the group(s) from the Shadow Plane to the Material Plane with perfect precision, but it will be a one-way trip.
    • Kaldur has an inside man in one of the sub-chief's camp, who will be planting beacons (magical lights which can only be seen from the Shadow Plane) to provide targets
    • Kaldur has a way to view the Material Plane from the Shadow Plane, in order to gather intel.
  • Our plan:

    • 2 teams, all invisible, some disguised as orcs if desired, steal the items, and converge on the chief's tent for murder
  • We travel to the camp location, in a valley between some hills. We see two glowing balls (the beacons).

    • At the first beacon is Ury, sleeping alone. There are two orcs standing guard outside, clearly corrupted by an abyssal bloodline of a sort. There are many other orcs sleeping nearby.
    • At the second beacon is our assassination target, Kunite the Strange, sleeping in a ring of trees outside. The treant is there, too.
    • The last sub-chief camp is unknown.
  • We adjust our plan:

    • Steal 1 item, plant it at the murder scene. Act fast, stay unseen.
  • We enact our plan!

    • Gadafthree and Duke transport into Ury's tent from the Shadow Plane.
      • Boss Dukes sees some solid targets: a pair of decorative bracers, and a javelin. As he nabs the bracers, a small orcish voice calls out for him to put them down. Gadafthree clumsily finds his dimension door target through the tent wall.
      • As Boss Dukes moves back towards Gadafthree, a quasit dressed in robes with a small crown throws a tiny knife at him. Boss gets to Gadafthree, and the two dimension door away.
    • Wondermitch, OJ, Twistfuck, and Kaldur transport into the tree ring around Kunite.
      • OJ performs a coup de grace on Kunite, slicing off his scalp in a single strike.
      • Kaldur and Twistfuck assault the treant, and Wondermitch hits it with a magic missile
      • Gadafthree and Dukes pop up
      • OJ joins in the fray againt the trees, and Kaldur finishes it off
      • Kaldur moves to Kunite
      • Twistfuck shadow walks back to Castle Black.
      • Duke plants the evidence.
      • Kaldur incinerates Kunite's body using the shroud.
      • Wondermitch shadow walks himself, Duke, OJ, and Gadafthree back to Castle Black.
  • The party, plus Kaldur, reunite at Castle Black.
