Trading Company of the Damned

Ever hear the one where a cleric, a bard, and a wizard walk into an abandoned demon-infested trading company?
Well they came out again, but only barely and with DM assistance.
So yeah, we’ll need some help with this one. Figure 5 - 6 could pull it off if we planned it well enough (and had a couple fighter-types). It’s going to be a tough fight though.
Who wants in and when can you play?
I might be able tonight (Saturday) around 8:30 - 9EST, and cleasor and ayergo said they might be on tonight via discord.

Not sure that I can play again tonight, it would be a tough negociation with my SO.

But I am on vacations until January the 7th (included).
I don't recommend it with less than 6 people, including two fighters, and no one under level 4(?) (Lower if you stand way back!)
With a good strategy, I'm pretty sure we can prevail, but this will be tricky and death is definately a strong possibility.

In the "information to be shared" vein:
Wayfarer would let everyone know that of more than a dozen swings at the creature with his enchanted sword few made significant contact and none showed signs of having done any damage at all.
(Means at least +2 weapons to hit and an AC around 25ish . Access to greater magic weapon a virtual necessity unless the plan is to blast it with huge amounts of arcane elemental damage)

Sorry I didn't make it last night.
I will be on MS with Arri tonight.
Not sure what Twilight can hope to bring to bear against such a creature. I doubt very much that her color spray is going to save the day this time. Happy to show up another night, though.

I can play tonight. Though Jackman has a +1 weapon so that sounds ineffective. Visit the potion shop?

Just throwing this out there, but consider that there may be a non-combat solution to this.

Damn, figured it out already! Actually I should say "less" combat, or combat that isn't as tough anyway.

I should be able to play Friday, around 8pm eastern.
Who else can play?
I think the "first order of business" should be getting rid of the vrock and its accompanying fiends (provided we have sufficient numbers). After that, there's some investigating to be done.

Yep. Should be on around 8:30-9 Friday if all goes as expected.
I may even have an idea that may or may not be ayergo’s alternate option.

Yes and looking forward to the game. We normally start at 9:00 pm EST, so please confirm we're starting earlier.
I have absolutely no ideas how to use non-lethal means to rid ourselves of the vrock. Use diplomacy? Economic sanctions?

I'm going to shoot to be on by 8pm EST, hoping to catch the level 1 n00bs first while you guys make a plan.
