If the party has no sure plan by Sunday. I will hold off another week before my next post to allow for you all to get one together.

See not a totally Evil DM. Close but maybe only 96%

In Tann's post it said we get potions to make us fly so there isn't a problem there. Bareel may need some help seeing he's never flown before but that's simple enough to just give him a boost while he gets the hang of it.

We will likely have some mid air battleing with the gargoyles but a couple of good smacks and they go to pieces, I hope.

I picture the casle as not having any land around it on the sides. Sort of just plucked up with the ground under it in tact.

I'd guess most of those inside will be looking over the front to see where the bolders land, so we should fly under and come up behind. Go over the back wall or on the parapet. We can see into the courtyard and follow the gangway down.

Good we have more info now the Cor told about his dream. I just thought too that if we fly under the castle it will help keep us from being seen. We could have a nice surprise and see an open tunnel or such leading into the castle, maybe a sewer drain. not so sweet smelling but a way in other than over the top.

Let the other groups draw attention as we sneak in. Maybe we could even make a hole in the bottom with spells or digging of some kind. That ground act might work with support.

Drain? Ew.. but if it works I guess..

SilentOne, would you be interested in the Ring of Animal Friendship? Sirene traded it to Ulthok for one of the rings he got off the Black Robe Mage.

I'm a cleric...? What am I gonna do with that???

Here is what it does....

Ring of Animal Friendship:

When the wearer of this ring approaches within 10 feet of any animals of neutral alignment and animal intelligence, the creatures must roll saving throws vs. spell. If they
succeed, they move rapidly away from the ring wearer. If the saving throws fail, the creatures become
docile and follow the ring wearer around. The item functions at 6th level, so up to 12 Hit Dice of
animals can be affected by this ring.
Animals feeling friendship for the wearer will actually guard and protect that individual if he expends
a charge from the ring to cause such behavior. A ring of this sort typically has 27 charges when
discovered, and it cannot be recharged. A druid wearing this ring can influence twice the prescribed Hit
Dice worth of animals (24 rather than 12), and a ranger is able to influence 18 Hit Dice worth of
animals.

needs it, I'll take it.. but.. if someone else can use it, give it to them.

I'd like to give it to someone before we leave so it adds to their arsenal and options.

So folks let's hear it... who thinks they can use it???

Never underestimate the need for new jewelry. Especially neato magic jewelry.

if no one wants it, I'll take it.. but I want a chance for someone else to have too..

I'm like this in my RPG I play online too ahha.. Always looking out for party members before myself

That ring would help Valene when she rides her big cat, it might help keep other animals calm.

If Kriea wants the ring for Valene I'll back post. Ulthok could leave it in her room with a note about how he understands the need for them to calm the romance. It would a token of friendship and a help to her to control animals that might become frightened of her riding cat.

Seeing we don't know how she catches up to the group, she's not with them at the moment, unless Kriea posts her hurrying to join the group.

Valene is apparently "shopping" with Lady Jessica.

Someone else may have a better use for the ring, but if no one else steps forward wanting it she would never turn down a shiny present. Especially not from Ulthok.

I got it all covered in my next post Trilites cute name huh.
