OOC: Sorry I thought this was a group of ex-military who were anti-gov, and therefore assumed they might be using some of the same callsigns and passwords and codes from their time in the service. I was suggesting posing as another cell of their organization.

( Btw: is there a reason you don't just plan for a raid later 'tonight', since it's still fairly early in the evening when you overheard / found out the last information piece... )

I was guessing to let Ahz refresh any spells he cast, and because we don't know if anyone has left since we came to have this meeting, so we want to give time for everyone to return. Though I guess if we went at like 4AM everyone would be back by then

(No spells cast, but I imagine tailing someone with Mind Eye burned through a fair amount of my Divination mental focus. Lasts for 4 minutes per use right now and I could have done it 4 times.)

So are we trying to bluff our way in and then start combat, or are we just kicking open the door and throwing in spells and arrows until things stop moving?

Everyone turned in for an early night on February 11th, or making final preparations for the raid on that suspicious house early tomorrow.

February 12th...

The entire group woke up very early in the morning and made their way to the harbor district. It was just after 4AM in the morning when they arrived at the "company building" they've been investigating. As to be expected for this early hour, the streets were completely empty and none of the nearby homes were lit. This run-down sector of the harbor district offered neither lighting nor security patrols of any kind, leaving only dim, clouded moonlight to illuminate the area.

A quick scouting of the house in question reveals that there were no light from any of its windows. The people inside are likely asleep.

( note: those without darkvision treat everything in dim light as having concealment )
( the insides of the building will be unknown until you get line-of-sight )

Without a solid grasp on the group's codes and signs, Leah suggests bluffing should be limited to a little distraction to catch the enemy off guard. We just need to get the door open when we get there. Or maybe Leah can ready an Astral Construct, if we get to the door unnoticed.

Speaking of getting ready, though. Just before setting whatever plan they eventually decide on into action, Leah draws upon her own mental energies and channels the energies surrounding her for good measure to create an invisible, little force shield for herself. If you could see it, it would be hexagonal. Reasons.
with 3PP + Surge for a total of 5PP, CL7 => +5 Shield Bonus to AC for 7 minutes.
Enervation Roll: 1d20 = 17 > 3 => Safe. It tingles a bit, but for now Leah keeps the foreign energies ravaging through her body at bay.


=>Active Buffs: Force Screen, +5 Shield Bonus to AC, 7 minutes remaining

Once everyone arrives and the psychic link is up and running Koko gives a nod to the others. 'I'll be around back watching the way out. I'll need a little time to set out a few caltrops and jam the door, I'll give you a heads up when I'm in position and ready.' And with that thought she slips around back to do her naughty best.

Stealth roll 15 + 11 = 26 To sneak about.

She carefully positions her caltrops below the windows and in front of the door, leaving a small path to both one window and one door open should she need to make use of either, but that will probably be overlooked by any one not expecting them. Then she proceeds to jam up the door before retreating nearer one end of the ally to watch and wait, informing the others of her being set.

Disable Device roll 20 (natural) +8 = 28 To jam the back door shut, but if possible easily fixable from the outside.

Koko seems to spread her caltrops without anyone noticing. She also jams a small piece of metal into the back door lock -- if the lock is conventional, it'll probably stop it from unlocking.

Before going in, Gorin casts Barkskin and Girallon's Blessing on himself. The result of which is him growing an additional two arms, each of which, alongside his two original arms, now end in bear-like claws. Also, his skin looks like it's made of bark.

Gorin takes a free action to wink at Goodberry.

*Gorin can save the Bulls Strength

-- Redacted due to house being too small for Large creatures.

Goodberry spends 5PP manifesting Animal Affinity for +4 Str on Adoett, Gorin, and himself.

Finally, Goodberry spends 5PP manifesting Animal Affinity for +4 Dex on Koko, Adoett, and himself.


Adoett spends 5PP to manifest what appears to be a long carving knife (+1). Like one might use to carve a roc.
He then spends 3PP to manifest Inertial Armor (+5 AC bonus).

He waits for everyone to get into position, smiles and says "Let's carve out some justice" before kicking open the door.

Everyone placed on the map... Koko watching the back door while everyone else at the front. Please modify your position as needed.

Adoett kicks open the front door. The first floor is completely dark. He can see down the main corridor, with a mostly empty room occupied by supplies on his left, and a greeting lounge on his right. He could hear someone moving to his right, rushing off a squeaking couch behind the dark curtains...

( we're not in combat mode yet... but everyone please post an initiative )

Ahz casts on himself. (50 minute duration, +2 Perception and trained Knowledge skills, can expend for +4 to Initiative)

Ahz places a watchful eye to cover the entrance to the building (V6 to X7, 2x2 square). (2 divination mental focus)
(Whenever any creature enters that square, you receive a mental image of the creature as long as you are on the same plane as the sensor. The sensor remains active for 10 minutes per occultist level you possess. The image will not wake you from slumber, although you do receive all of the images the sensor collected once you wake up. The sensor can be deceived by invisibility and similar magic.)

Ahz also casts on Adeott's short sword before he heads into the building. (5 minute duration, +2 sacred bonus to damage, if the weapon confirms a crit than the target is automatically shaken (no save))

(Initiative: 1d20+3 = 23)
