Act 1, Scene 3: "Out of Harmony" (Game Thread)

[Rivi]

cross will follow pyros

[kerap]

And Artanis will follow Cross who is following Pyros.

[Jenara]

(So Cross just walked off as Mira was talking to him?)

[spyguy1503]

Cal will go where he is supposed to (i glossed over that bit)

[Rivi]

OCC:sorry i missed that he will walk back in

cross will come back in in a hurry "sorry Maria i was thinking on how to do the illusion you were saying we should work together. i can do the physical illusion quite easily if you can do the smell and say cal dose noise it should be easy enough and quite believable"

[Jenara]

"Like I said I'll be getting ready to web them. Merrick, you can create a smell correct?" Mira sighs.

With her headache easing somewhat, Jerry picks up the 4 silvered slong bullets, "Thanks, Mira. Where do you want me? Maybe I can help with a cantrip. too?"

[Jenara]

"Cantrip, yes try to distract them, keep them coming to the trees, then I'll web them. " She squeezes Jerry's arm. "Glad you are ok"

[Chris1234]

"Will do," replies Jerry as she catches Mira's eye and mouths 'thank you'.

She arranges the bullets appropriately and takes up an appropriate position.

{OOC: @Tristen - Could Conjuration cantrip be used to create a real looking and smelling chunk of bacon, albeit only for a short time? If yes, would range reach to the trees?}

[TristenC]

[Ooc: a cantrip illusion could create a 2d image or scent or sound, but not two senses at once. The illusions would last 1 round and could be maintained by performing another cantrip check each round. Range will be about 30 feet. More details below. Cross doesn't have the cantrip nwp, but he has the phantasmal force spell, which is far more powerful than a cantrip (size, range and includes mobility). See spell description]

Pyros and Artanis move through the pantry and open the doors leading to the loft. Upstairs they see the window, and easily step out onto the roof [no check needed]. The air is cool, and the waning light draws the shadows of the farm out in a sinister fashion. Bare treebranches clutch at the sky like claws, and patchy clusters of fog have already begun to form in the low places. The once welcoming evergreens around the edges of the property whine mournfully in the rising breeze...


Down in the kitchen the others continue their discussion of illuions. Yes, I can aid in the illusions. If we are to be working together on one, we should probably all stay together in the den area here where we can use the front windows overlooking the trees. Elsa nods, hefting her mace. And I'll cover the side door.


====
Cal has not been assigned a place, but somewhere where he could contribute to the cantrip would probably benefit the group best

Since ThaWizKid hasn't been on since Jan 11th, I'll keep Adran in the living room until he starts posting.

So far the plan seems to be:
Roof: (cold, potentially hazardous, 360 deg view)
Pyros, Artanis, Cross?

Hall by Side door: (No visibility, East door is possible point of entry)
Elsa

Kitchen: (1 window, visibility West only)
None?

Den: (2 windows, 1 north 1 west. North door Possible point of entry)
Adran, Mira? Cal? Jerry? Merrick.

Upstairs bedroom: (1 window to North.)
none?


From the rules thread:
Illusion and Phantasm Cantrips These cantrips create false sounds, images, or scents. They can make haunting sounds like moans, chains rattling, footsteps, creaks and eerie bumps, or indistinct muffled sounds. When creating images, illusion cantrips form floating, colored globes of light; alter the facial features of a creature; create illusory furniture, carpets, or bushes in a flat and empty area; or conjure a two-dimensional illusion (invisible from the side or rear). All visual illusions can be dispelled by touch or dispel magic, and they remain only as long as the caster concentrates on them. Any smell created lasts only as long as the caster concentrates, affecting a maximum area of 10 cubic feet. Breezes dissipate the smell, and it may be masked by an overpowering smell, such as a troglodyte’s stench or the carrion odor of a ghast.

[Jenara]

"Right, we try the illusion, then we fight. Adran? Could you cover the door please? I'll do the same with my Crossbow, but I'm trying to cast a spell." Mira rests the large weapon on a nearby table, a silver bolt loaded. "Are we ready?"

[kerap]

Artanis nudges Pyros and whispers: "Lucky for us, we smell like fish. If we stay relatively close to the chimney, we will get a slight bit of heat from the bricks. Not much, but every bit will help. If we sit back to back, that will help and we can watch better. We will either tap each other or the roof lightly if we see something."

[Nocturno]

Pyros will nod and tap out a short tune on the roof.
"Sounds good." He will lean back against the chimney after putting on his cloak and mittens.

[Rivi]

cross nods in agreement and readies him self to cast the spell once there ready to go

[spyguy1503]

Cal goes with the other casters, and prepares to cast some cantrips.
