Attempt 1, floor 1: First try! Good luck! Don't die too fast

[Dracos]

"I shall send a friend better equipped to entertain, fair lady." He chirped still spinning his daggers about as he moved backwards towards the door, ready to duck/weave/stuck six blades of steel in the way of that tail if it moved.

Dracos

[Anastasia]

"You'd best," Hissing and slithering, the snakewoman leers. "Don't dissapoint me again or you'll rue the day!"

[Dracos]

Without another word he scooted out of the room and out of view, taking a breath as he finally caught his daggers and slipped them out of the air, gesturing for Tchaener to close the door.

[Carthrat]

Tchaener closes the door, and glances at Aesop, with a wry smirk.

"Ain't quite the impressive type, are ye'?" he chuckles, though he then turns grim. "I ain't too sure how we can get by this one. I not be liking the look of that tail.

"Still, there might be a way..." He hustles the halfling back into the kobold camp. Pulling out that purple poison, he uncorks it, and, with some trepidation, gives it a sniff.

[Anastasia]

It smells like too sweet and too bitter melted candy with a hint of rotting meat.

[Carthrat]

"I need a couple of cups. And new spells," states Tchaener. "And this still might not work, but it's the best shot I have. Worst comes to worst, I'll be able to beat a hasty retreat... I hope.

"Let's go rest back across the river, again. You keep watch. Ugh, magic, it's like war. 95% tedium..."

[Dracos]

"Fair enough," Aesop chirped, heading with him there and standing guard while he worked.

Dracos

[Anastasia]

Rest comes and passes without incident. So the two surviving heroes prepare, Eisenschloss awaiting them!

[Carthrat]

Tchaener casts his latest divination, hoping to answer an important question!

"If I try and trick the yuan-ti into drinking this poison, will it benefit us?"

[01:08] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d100 and gets 50." [1d100=50]

[Anastasia]

Risk and reward are one in the same oftimes.

[Carthrat]

"Aesop, light a torch," says Tchaener, at length. "Stand ready to throw it inside if I start screaming."

He heads back to the door to the yuanti, poison and cups in his backpack, and he walks inside!

[Dracos]

Aesop stops him. "Wait a moment...explain to me why?  I was planning to enter as your shadow and be ready to strike her if the plan fails."

Dracos

[Carthrat]

"Well, if you think you can do it," he replies, dubiously. "Let's go, then!" With this plan in mind, he pushes open the door...

[Dracos]

Aesop slips into his shadow so stealthily that Tchaner almost thinks he's alone, hiding his movements and presence behind the larger man's motion and noise.

--------

[11:07] <Dracos> roll 1d100 vs 90 hide
[11:07] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 vs 90 hide and gets 16." [1d100=16]
[11:07] <Dracos> roll 1d100 vs 90 move silent
[11:07] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 vs 90 move silent and gets 17." [1d100=17]
[11:07] <Dracos> I'll post the command + that when rat gets moving.

[Anastasia]

The snakewoman awaits! She thrashes on her bed, slithering around in annoyance! "Another? Entertain me!" she demands, going upright and tall as she gazes at Tch!

"Impress me, dwarf!"
