Session 6 - Bandit Report

General Summary

After hearing that the blacksmith, Aris, that they were sent to retrieve Uriel's contraption from was one of the kidnapped individuals of the bandits they saw at the end of last session, they decide to head up to the mining camp they have set up base in. A quick scout with a familiar reveals a portion of wall that is damaged and people could easily slip inside, IF they can avoid the watchful gazes of the guards on the three watchtowers. Icarus and Darnalore head round to the opening (pass without trace) and wait, using Darnalore's familiar to keep tabs on what is happening in the camp. While the others walk up to the gate, asking to negotiate terms with the bandits on behalf of the Ovis tribe.   Zolv manages to talk his way into the camp to speak with the leader (Nat 20 intimidation), while his companions (Ophellia and Asog) are kept in cages for security purposes. After making their way into the mines, led by Foltan, Zolv meets Adran (Half-elf, Bandit Lord). Using two attempts to subtle cast suggestion on Adran, he convinces him to release the prisoners and that tomorrow he will return with Liath, who he has promised as payment for the prisoners.   They prepare the village for impending attack. Ophellia sends a letter with her homonculus servant (Kitty) to Uriel:  

Dear Uriel,
We are in the Ovis Tribe Settlement. The town was attacked by bandits and, in order to free the hostages that were taken, Zolv made a deal he could not keep. They will attack again and, without aid, they will KILL US ALL (this part is underlined). Please gather any aid you can from Tanjarr, and use your magic door to get here as soon as possible. THEY COULD ATTACK AT ANY MINUTE PLEASE!!!! (More underlining)
Yours sincerely,
Ophelia Diviceth

  After Uriel arrives the next day, he speaks to the party about their plans. Suggesting that he will protect the village if they take the offensive in order to reduce the civilian casualties. He provides them with a case of Alchemist's Fire (6 bottles) and they head back to the bandit camp. They spy a small hunting party heading West, but the camp is otherwise how they left it. No signs of immediate attack. They talk for a while and decide to use the familiar and the homonculus servant to dive bomb the bottles of alchemist fire onto select targets in the camp to create chaos. *Session ends
