You decide to have Shawel scout the watery path solo and report back. She casts a spell to let her breath under water and another that enhances her senses in water. She wades into the little pool a disappears beneath the dark surface.
About 5 minutes later she returns and speaks to you from the water edge.
Shawel: "Christof. I have found the missing children. They are in a large room with 40 or so goblins."
>"Are they in danger?"
Shawel: "No the goblins are just dancing and playing music, very few guards. Easy prey."
Alina: "Do they have any wizards?"
Shawel: "One looked like a mystic but hes probably just a potion maker."
Ulric: "What about cave trolls or really big buff goblins?."
Shawel: "I didn't see anything like that. But at least two of them had some high quality armour of Luko make."
>"Is the water path a good vector for attack?"
Shawel: "Good for me. It might be a little slow for all five of us to emerge from the same narrow pool. I saw 3 more entrances to the area, one of them is through that blocked off burial ground, the other is simply through the main corridor."

>Approach the goblins through the main entrance and negotiate with them.
>Approach the goblins through the main entrance and demand they surrender the children or die.
>Surprise attack the goblins through one or more of the entrances.
>Smash and grab
>Write in.

>>3290471
>Smash and grab
We don't negotiate with goblins
Also we can't just kill every single one of them, so

>>3290522
Also will we get to make a plan? I'd vote to use multiple entrances

>>3290544
Of course you can.
Which characters and which entrances?

>>3290471
>Surprise attack the goblins through one or more of the entrances
Leaning towards this.

>>3290522
>>Smash and grab
Not entirely sure what this would entail.
I'm okay with grabbing the kids and then cheesing it.

>>3290563
>I'm okay with grabbing the kids and then cheesing it.
That's what I mean; try and rush in grab the kids and run out.

HOLD up, I say we wait for them to party themselves out and get DRUNK

>>3290587
This, or to them to go to sleep, they can't keep this for too long. Then we can go through water, Shawel delay some of them with ice walls while the rest get the kids.

>>3290544
>make a plan
>use multiple entrances
>>3290587
>wait for them to party themselves out and get DRUNK
Or for the otherwise most opportune moment, then signal and
>>3290572
>rush in grab the kids and run out.

Need a solid exit strategy for everyone, though.

Caught me as I was heading out. But I will be back.

>>3290587
I would prefer a more direct approach. You don't know what might happen

>Cast protections before going in
>Christof, Ulric and Alina come in through the blocked off burial ground and fight the armored guys. Alina shoots the crossbow guy from upwards
>Shawel and Kalim come in through the water, destroy the ladder on the left and strand the potion fucker and his guards, one prevents dancers from grabbing swords and another grabs the kids
>Link up and beat it

>>3290627
Though to be honest I might have been a bit hasty, this might need refinement. Perhaps we need beefier people coming in through the water

>>3290639
It just seems to me that the tunnels BOTH lead right to the soldier goblins, and if shawel icewalls the sword rack they cant do shit.

Plus the kids look pretty happy to me

>>3290648
I don't trust the evil gobbos not to do something bad with the kids

>>3290662
it will be worse if they use the kids as hostages

>>3290690
Maybe they won't realize we're here for them until it's too late

>>3290662
This is why it is better to wait till some of them are self incapacitated or asleep, they are not in immediate danger. The two in the door seem to be actually dangerous, maybe priorice using the water whip to make them fall? Also, I think it would be a good idea to let the goblins get the swords and then just block them with ice walls. The kids are probably not going to rush to the swords themselves.

>>3290699
if we just icewall the swords they may surrender

>>3290717
I doubt it, they are just too many to surrender like that. Maybe if we also kill the "king".

>>3290587
>>3290603
Uh, I'll back this up

are you doing Saturday only now?

>>3290699
>two in the door seem to be actually dangerous, maybe priorice using the water whip to make them fall?
Like this.

>I think it would be a good idea to let the goblins get the swords and then just block them with ice walls.
Plans intending to react to expected enemy actions are weak and flawed.

Targets include brewmaster,gold guys, ladders, sword rack.

Also, additional points of interest are the lever on the throne and ropes(?) Hanging from ceiling

>>3290806
>Targets include
Also the goblin with the crossbow.

>>3290798
Yeah, plus I start what will probably be my most difficult semester next week so I probably wont be able to run as much.

>"If they're having a party let's just wait them out. When they're all falling down drunk we can swoop in grab the kids and get out. Shawel can you keep and eye on the enemy, notify us if something happens."
Shawel: "Of course, I'll head out now."
She dissappears back into the watery tunnel.

You have a boring time waiting around in the dank cave. Quite some time later Shawel comes bursting from the water and breathlessly clambers ashore.
Shawel: "Slavers! The slavers are attacking!"

what do?

>>3290868
Told you fuckers! Sitting idle is bad
>Split into equal groups and rush in from every entrance. Sole goal is to grab the kids and bail out of there

>>3290868
Cast protection from arrows on everyone and then enter through the main entrance to quickly grab the kids and flee.

>>3290903
This basicly, we in it now.

>>3290834
brutal

>>3290895
>>Split into equal groups and rush in from every entrance. Sole goal is to grab the kids and bail out of there
Not every entrance.
Boarded up path might have unknown dangers and will take time.

>>3290627
>Shawel and Kalim come in through the water
This, they support the rest of the team smash and grabbing.

Resist attacking goblins, state we're here to save the human children from the slavers.

Fuck up the slavers only if it can be safely done.

Gobbos are greenblood filth, but those slavers are worse trash.

Needing to act quickly you have everyone charge in to the main entrance. The alternate paths might be too slow. The watery path is pitch black and the burial grounds are still blocked on both the entrance and exit.
You charge in and find the whole area in anarchy. Goblins and slavers snatching the children from each other and fighting all over the place. A pair of goblins carrying Ebelle skitters by you with a axe wielding slaver in pursuit. Kalim throws his heavy cloak over him disrupting his chase.
You yell out loud >"We're here to kill the slaver scum. Stay out of our way goblins!"

>>3291517
Toxin of weakness at the spear slaver, run past him, and power attack x3 the axe slaver. If we can't run past, then toxin of weakness the axe slaver and power attack x3 the spear slaver

>>3291517
tell Kalim to rescue the kid from the bald nigga while you fight these guys

>Flurry 70%
>Power Attack 70%
>Jab 95%
>Power Attack

keep it rotated on these guys they like to counter, focus spear guy but switch targets back to axe guy if he gets in range

>>3291561
I dont mind this set up either but dont spam power attack, and still tell Kalim to rescue the kid

>>3291561
If you want to go past him Toxin of Greater Clumsiness is a better idea. Besides that, I am with his plan.

>>3291576
I feel like we should save it for the inevitable boss fight vs a bull in a finechina store

>>3291602
We have two of them, using one now will not be much of a problem. Also, we have a lot of unspent money.

>>3291616
What about the follow up tightrope fight vs a mime suspended 2000 feet in the air? You are going to wish you had an extra toxin then.
