POVERO Campaign OOC

[Adam]

So...are we not going with the "Alfonse gets us in the house and then we give her our introductions then" plan? Or is it just the second story man part of the job that we aren't clear on?

The second story part is the difficult one. You and I will distract the family, while the thieves steal... a girl.
As for patrols sister, I don't think they have an exact schedule; that's not a military base. Probably a guard or two make a round every 30-60 minutes.

Your problems will be... dogs. If there are dogs you can't hide forever.
But Povero is a big city. Check if anyone sells reliable alchemical stuff that makes dogs ignore you. Gertie's friends may have that. Or, at worse... if that can be found at all a potion of invisibility to give Elissa.

Ok, got it. We can always get a message to her during the meeting so she'll cooperate. That should simplify things.

Okay, moved timeline up a bit.

As noted, thieves have located sources of thiefly goods.

Meeting with Holbins won't be possible on short notice, unless it is an ''accidental'' encounter like you guys discussed in the last chapter, or something else unusual.

Titus experiences the joys of red tape. But he gets registered.

[ewancummins]

Everyone is at full hit points. I have factored in time for bathing, meals, rest, preparing spells, etc.

[ewancummins]

VAN and Stevil, give me your shopping list.

I will tell you which items on the list you are able to locate, and what Aldron will cover.

WeaponBlack is 2 gp
Caltrops are 2 gp
Marbles are 2 cp
Blinding Powder ?
Rope 10 gp?
Dog Pepper 1 sp packet

So much for my career as "face-man."

I can put dogs to sleep with my sleep spell. I guess we can try to meet up with them "by accident" at the market and pass the message to her then.

[alhoon]

I would suggest sticking with the plan Adam, and certainly not wasting such a powerful spell to put dogs to sleep when it could stop pursuers.

No problem for most of that.

Another roll for blinding powder.

[ewancummins]

You have it all, including the blinding powder.

Aldron pays for it, via his factor reimbursing you.

If that (''bump'' at the market) is the plan, who will go?

All together?

Or will you split up and try to cover more shops that way?

Some go and some stay at the inn?

Use some other means of locating the Holbins, besides checking the shops that Aldron briefed you about?


I hope the questions don't feel railroad-y. I'm just trying to get a sense of your intentions without steering the party.

[VAN]

What can be used as sleeping poison? We don't want the dogs to bark or attack us!

And yes the guards maybe notice the dogs sleeping but if they bark or chase us will be worse. We can hide them if they get asleep.
