A Land Far Away

"Oi, can you believe it? The Monster Pit fights are closed off!"

"Wassat mate? No farkin' way! Thos' fightsa been going fer ages!"

"Its the truth I say. Even the gangs won't go near it after them fellas showed up all dressed in black. They showed up right as the Skunk gang was going to fight the Dockworkers Guild and kicked everyone out, said they were takin' over. A few boys tried to say something but they cut them down quick so everyone ran. I had 20 gold on that fight too that I lost!"

"Awwwnow, thassa damn shame ittis. Who'r these whoresons?"

"Hells if I know, but I tell you this, I swear to you that I saw some of them little blue dragons flying along with them."

"Hmmm...now'ats inter'essin'. Mighten have tae do with wha I saw too. I wassat Selune's Smile, right near the secret en'rance to tha Monster Pit an I saw a whole train o' them folks in black haulin' big sacks and chests fulla somethin! Gold I esspect! But git this.... some olive skin lady leadin' 'em, and I swear she sticks her tongue out annits forked! Kinnyou imagine?"

"Damn peculiar. You figure they're building a nest for them dragons?"

"Tha coul'be tha truth o' it. Maybe we should 'ell the watch?"

"What? Are you daft? We tell the watch that our secret underground fighting pit was besieged by crazy dragon cultists and thieving dragons, and would you please help clear them out so we can continue our illegal fights? That's crazy talk, they'd clasp us in irons. Come on, lets go find somewhere else for another round...

So my flight takes off somewhere around the start of gametime. I'll probably be on early while I am at the airport, but I have left a little something for you all to enjoy. This is probably the most and best loot I've ever handed out, however also a very challenging encounter in a tight space. Plan well and don't get deaded!

Oh, and if you need something more to do Bloody Hand rewards of both XP and gold were bumped. Give it a go.

///OOC I can be on at 7:30 sharp if folk want to get together and raid these Dragon Cultist bastards straight away, But I need to be out of there by like 8:30 - 8:45. Maybe we can use this space to plan? Sounds like it will be a bunch of Yuan -Ti, Cultisits, Dweormervore all in an interior space. I don't see scouting as playing a big part. I recommend kicking in the door and shock and awe. Everyone buffed to the max, soften them up with grenades and offensive spells. Fire off all summonses, stoneskin fighters crash behind, flankers flank, healers at the ready.

Or we can bar all the doors and windows but one and set the place on fire and wait for them to come pouring out But that might burn up our loot.

Clairvoyance/Clairaudience ahead may help, unless literally everyone inside is stealthed or invisible.

Scrolls of Cloudkill?

Regardless, I cannot be on until late, if at all.

Copying what others said in chat in the interest of coordinating (times are Eastern):

- PA says he'll be on around 9.
- I'll probably log on around 9 also, but there's a chance I could be on earlier. Though not 7:30 earlier.
- Valn said between 8 - 9.

Im ready, willing and able this Friday

Since the Friday night group wasn't large enough to tackle this challenge, any interest in gathering a larger group mid-week?

In general I can play any evening at 10pm eastern, probably safely at 9 with some notice.

I could probably do Tuesday night this week. Any other night is far less certain due to call and other responsibilities.

I; wearing a new skin; will not be available till Friday.

I could probably do Tuesday. But we’d have to kick ass in under two hours so I can sleep long enough to ward off CHA penalties the next day.

I think you guys are making me geekier. I didn’t think that was possible. Good job!

I can possibly maybe join in the TPK, depending on how unsupervised I am here.

Well, my week nights filled up since writing this post. Sorry but I can't make all this week.

So far Keryn, Arryn, Zylai'a for Tuesday evening.

Maybe a low-level Rumple that can distract one them for 3 rounds while his toon is smooshed.

Anyone else? Another night?

Alora's doing chronicling for the Daggerford militia, but good luck!

I can probably pinch hit with an NPC if you need it.
