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

[Rivi]

cross eats but everyone can tell its not with his normal gusto hes clearly strategizing about the wolfs as he seems to talk to him self every third word or so audible "wolves bane...senses....coral...east"

[kerap]

Artanis relaxes, as much as he can, and enjoys the meal. Although he does listen to what cross is mumbling, and tries to piece that together with what he saw outside.

[Nocturno]

"What are you mumbling about?" he will poke Cross in the ribs.

[Rivi]

cross comes out of his thoughts "sorry just trying to plan some defenses against the wolves. there is no wolfsbain around here but i was trying to figure out how helpful an illusion of them would be on the wolves"

[Jenara]

"I was thinking that. We lure them into a trap using a Cantrip and Illusions, then I web them." Mira suggests.

[kerap]

Artanis casually remarks: "Wolves rely heavily on sense of smell - illusions don't have an scents. It may distract them for a moment, but that is about all."

[Rivi]

cross nods "your right i didnt think of that . i wonder how far a breath they would to stay away form a patch of the flowers maybe enughf to make them chose a different rout in to pester us giving us more control"

[TristenC]

Actually, an illusionary scent could be conjured using a separate spell or a cantrip. But whether or not it would be sophisticated enough to fool a wolf, I couldn't say... Elsa chimes in as well, Did anyone else notice the home has no East facing windows? That might be a problem...

Maria continues to make sure everyone has plenty to eat and drink. Ontash watches the conversation between the group with interest.

Jerry stirs, whether by noise or sound is uncertain. She sits up. "HHmmm smells like something nice? Apart from you," she teases her companion. "Hey! and no bad dreams!"
She gives Merrick a peck on the cheek and dresses.
Unless Merrick has anything else in mind, she'll head downstairs thereafter..

[Nocturno]

"I could watch from the roof, and tap as a signal for when they are approaching!"

[Jenara]

"No east facing Windows, that could be a problem." Mira rubs her chin thoughtfully, 'Yes someone should keep an eye out, Pyros you are probably best suited." Pondering the idea of trapping the wolves with a Cantrip she continues.

"How about we test the idea, set up the trap and I'll stay hidden ready to web. If the spell doesnt work we switch to another plan. But, we cant take them on hand to hand, apart from Artanis and possibly Elsa none of us are suited to taking them on like that." She looks around, trying to fix her gaze on each member in turn, most notably Pyros.

[TristenC]

[Smakl retcon: Merrick and Jerry descend just before dinner. Tried to imply this before.]

Elsa nods at Mira's remark. Then I should probably stay inside near one door. Pyros, you have to promise me you'll be careful up there...

Merrick looks to Jerry and back to the group, The windows should be good enough to cast spells through... provided we can see what we're aiming at...

[Chris1234]

"What's the cloud cover likely to be tonight?" asks Jerry, thinking of her limited nightsight.

[Nocturno]

"Me careful? Oh ok! But I can't promise to not have some fun!"

[TristenC]

Elsa gives him a flat look. Maybe we should tie a rope on you so you don't fall off...


Ontash consisers Jerry's query. I didn't get outside much today, but it looked like a clear sky... of course the fog doesn't always follow what you think it might...
