OOC and discussion

[dither]

Knock yourselves out guys.

I'll keep the OP updated with the current marching order.

---

Front line:
- 2 half-orc warriors (hirelings)

Middle line:
- Grim, human fighter (bridgar)
- human ninja (rikimaru)
- Quinder Streambed, halfling ranger (sirpercival)

Back line:
- "lesser cansin?" scholar (samnemath)
- Charles, synad wilder (mcpoyo)

[McPoyo]

I'm going with "Charles" as a name. Quotes are important.

How about Quote-Charles-Unquote as a name then?

edit: Is it just me, or is everyone here evil? Lol.

[McPoyo]

An odd emphasis when saying Charles works fine. "oh, this is Charles"

[bridgar]

I think that fighting here is the right move- we're up in numbers, we're all at full hp, and they're not hostile so we have an opportunity to trick them.

I'm not stupid enough to go in alone, though. 

[McPoyo]

I'll push for killing if we have consensus enough.

[dither]

The lizardfolk are suspicious despite your flattery (what, no gifts? lol) but if you can come up with a plausible distraction they'll be flat-footed for sure. They don't trust you but don't see you as an immediate threat. If you want the surprise round, you'll have to come up with something outrageous -- figure out how to outmaneuver them on their home turf or something.

This close to home (per Grim's spot check) you'll want to make sure none of them can get off an alarm.

How deep is the mud?

Also, where are the stats of the hired guards?

RE: Mud
Gotta make DC 10 Balance check to charge.

RE: Mercs
Half-orc warriors with hide armor (6 hp/AC 13) and greatclubs* (+3/1d10+3).

* I forgot about the greatclubs, I think I said something about battleaxes earlier. They should be greatclubs.

Hmmmmm. They're not my guards... but if they were mine, I'd bull rush them into the lizards. I doubt they'd get an AoO because they're flat footed and the mud would silence their screams. Even if the guards die, their gear is worth more than we paid for them 

[Rikimaru]

Amazing  you could "repurchase" more guards by eventually selling the gear from these. Lol. Assuming everything works out and you can collect it, and it retain value of course.

It's obviously not sustainable, people will stop volunteering to join us after enough people don't come back. It's also pretty conspicuous. Additionally, contrary to popular belief, there's a limited supply of mooks in the world. 

[dither]

If you build up enough corpses, you could hire yourselves out as gravediggers.

Then hire "untrained" NPCs to dig graves.

Then kill them to produce more corpses!

edit: Hire "trained" coffin-makers for added profit!

You would very, very, very slowly amass a fortune in basic service industry!

I'll be a thrallherd by then, so that's irrelevant.

[Rikimaru]

It's the new cycle of death... I mean "life".

[bridgar]

Soooo, we have 3/5 majority. Who wants to kick this off?

I meant that more as a joke than an actual "suggestion" that we should do it lol. I would nevef expect something like that to hold up.

[Rikimaru]

Well I do get the most out of hitting first, so if were in accord and all serious then i will

[bridgar]

Mind you, we have to kill or disable all of them in 1 round if we're planning to not immediately fight more of them...

Maybe not, he did state that the only way we could get to their village was by boat. So it may be a ways to their villagesince as far as i read. May of missed it. We can't see any sign of it.

Plus that's why i wanted a group concensus before i opened fire lol.
