PBEM - Episode 521. Going after the Last Mongrelman

In a straight up fight, the party feels super confident, but playing BX has shown them how important controlling the battlefield is, and going into a dark area with a creature that can boast an 80% hide rate and gets 2 attacks at D10 each, they want more of a guarantee they can do it.

"My master once said to me,” Lannis quipped, peering through the two doors into the darkened Sanctuary, “'There's no such thing as too much overkill.' And by the gods if we wasn't right about something."

Scythe out, frowning into the darkness, Abraxas glanced at the ghouls and said, "Tiempo es finito por ese Ghoulies. Let's finish el Hombre de Perro, y los Ghoulies, y take una siesta en our place."

Kovid was looking north and then changed his mind, nudging the two ghouls to the south. “Hey Vincent and Mitch, follow quickly.”

“Un moment,” Wyn asked, reaching down to slip one of the weapon belts off a dead orc. “We have 5 minutes left, oui? Plenty of time to deal wit de mongrelman en de ghouls. Keep using dem. Don’t leave dem in here. It not work dat way.” He was working a spell on the buckle, fingers flashing swiftly.

Brendon leaned heavily on his spear. “Aside from Mr Crabs in there, Grimtooth might have set up traps.”

“True dat. I light sometin, den we give it to de ghouls to run in wit. FAIT LUX ETERNUS!” Wyn cast his last spell for the day, a continual light enchantment, centered on the buckle.

 “We just trapping them all together in the Sanctuary and sealing it shut?” Lyra asked

“Perhaps.” He glanced at the ghoul and then Kovid, the dwarf getting the undead to stand in place. Once satisfied, Wyn wrinkled his nose and slid the belt tightly around the ghoul’s midsection, cinching the buckle until it wouldn’t slip off. “Perhaps we den we go in dere en take out de mongrelman. We shall see.”

“Gotcha.” Kovid motioned the ghouls the step through the south door, and then again once across the hall, into the dark confines of the Sanctuary. It illuminated by the ghoul’s belt, a circle of light around the undead as they walked in to the limit of the dwarf’s control. They panned around (<MM Camouflage check, Red 13) but the Mongrelman wasn’t visible in the orc’s redoubt. “Guys? I got 2 minutes left. What’s the deal?”

Time now is Day 11, 4:50 PM

(OOC)

Control Undead – 2 mins.

Continual Heal – 4 more instances on the “3’s”.

Mongrelman is NOT visible at this time, 2 ghouls are in the Sanctuary, door is currently open, and Kovid has control for 2 more minutes – what is the plan? Nothing to target with a pause, sling, arrow, or anything at this time.
