Prologue / Mission 1 - Crime Wave (Feb 2 - Feb 5, 1002YK)

[Squall255]

"Detected? Are you not invisible?" Goodberry asks. "Our light ends about 15 ft from you. Still, Adoett can look down for the moment."

[Mr_Praetorian]

"It is unlikely they have audibly or visually detected me. More likely they have heard one of you."

[Zanaikin]

( By the way, it's taken ~15 minutes for you to get down this far. Adoette estimates he only has around 5 minutes left before expanding back to normal size )

Gadget hears the following exchange from the other end of the tunnel:

"You think they're still in there? Maybe... maybe they turned around," came the voice of a child clearly frightened and desperately hoping that the intruders did turn away.

"Doubt it. If they came far enough to trip my Alarm, then they're serious about getting down here," said a girl, confident enough to be their leader.

"Then where are they?", mouthed another child, a bit fearful as well

"I don't even hear any rat squeaks," noted a fourth.

"They must have disabled that trap," said the confident one. "They're definitely in there. Is Cadroc back yet?"

(if there was a response, you didn't hear it.)

"Go get some flammable stuff; not oil this time. The tunnel moves up the entire way from here. We'll fill it with smoke and force them to get out."

[Mr_Praetorian]

"Confirmed they are human cadets. We tripped an alarm spell. They are planning to use oil and fire to fill the tunnel with smoke. Recommend we move on them now." Gadget alerted, telepathically.

[Squall255]

"Affirmative. Gaget go first, signal us when you're at them, and we'll start. Use your invisibility to close the distance before we give ourselves away."

[azrael]

"Does anyone see vents or other ways to get the smoke to us? If it's just coming down the tunnel, I can block it with earth and move the blockage ahead of us."

(GM : you all do not see any vents )

[Squall255]

"I suggest we call that plan B. I'd rather not give them the time to make the smoke in the first place."

[Mr_Praetorian]

Gadget begins moving towards the end of the tunnel. When he gets there, he will ready an action to jump into the room before the rest of the group can bump into him.

(Stealth: 1d20+16+20(invis)= 41)

[Kadi]

"I'm coming with you, Gadget. Better to have 4 hands on the job."

Finally getting her head on the case again, Leah turns invisible [4 minutes, no uses left] as well and hurries (hurriedly crawls) after Gadget while making sure not to bump into him.

[Stealth: 1d20 + 10 Skill + 20 Invis = 41]

[Zanaikin]

Gadget and Leah gets into position first, as the rest of the party give them a minute of time. But as soon as Ashkaran moves into view, a gnome child at the end yells "there they are! close it now!"

Some of the children had left to get things, leaving three still guarding the entrance.

Human child1 (Q18): holding onto the grate and is in the midst of shutting it.
Human child2 (R18): holding onto a bullseye lantern that's shining in + a bottle of oil that he's about to throw.
Gnome child (S18): poking her hand out from the too-long sleeves, revealing a wand.

Note: Q18 and S18 has cover from the R17.

( initiatives ! )
( readied action triggers for Gadget -- make an opposed strength check as Child1 is closing the grate at the same time )
( note that normal crawling speed is 5ft per Move action; only crawlspace is available for Medium-sized creatures within the tunnel )

[Mr_Praetorian]

"They are attempting to seal the tunnel. Recommend haste."

(Initiative: 1d20+4= 16
STR Check: 1d20= 13)

[Kadi]

"I'm right behind you."

[Initiative: 1d20+7 = 19]

[Squall255]

Initiative:
Dr. Goodberry begins calling the image of an Oak into his mind, and tries not to clutter the comms channel.

[Laharl]

Initiative 1d20+1=14

Adoett waits calmly for those in front to move out of the way.
