    Maiabel may be better in that department, but she can't open locks very well. Every skillmonkey has to make sacrifices, after all, and while she's a good scout, she's not a good burglar.

    Poor rolls, let's hope they have shoddy security in the slums!

    Ironically, THIS would have been a great out-of-the-box use for Iron Silence!

    I think we just have to force it and see what happens. Anyone got a better idea? JBE, who do we see around who might hear this? It's a pretty busy undercity, right? There's a chance the sound of a door being forced will just be part of the scumbag ambience, surely?

    I was contemplating having Cypher look around for someone we could to intimidate clothes from whilst trying to explain away why he'd failed to open the lock. Someone stepping past and jusy kicking it in would be funnier though.

    Door pushes open for no reason; slams shut for no reason. Occupants suddenly jumped by invisible burglars. I think this is the way! :D

    The time is now for assertive action! Hopefully we can just hide out invisibly for a second and this woman will, with any luck, dismiss the guards who are about to come asking what's up. Then we'll see if we can't retain her assistance in this place in exchange for a better life in a far away land.

    Cypher does carry soap with him, quick shower anyone? Does that seem useful in any way?

    Does Sharkan have prestidigitation to monkey around with smells at all?

    Actually, the other option is to alter self into a troglodyte and drive the dog off with stench? Any preference for that or trying the soap?

    My only alternative is to smoke my pipe of grief and fill the house with smoke; but that exchanges one problem for another! Operation gross Trog might work!

    I do love it when items become useful in unexpected ways like that.

    My apologies for not having anything to contribute, myself.

    Gotta say, I love the idea with the pipe but morale effects don't work on constructs and they managed to beat the roll for discerning scents despite the presence of other strong scents in the room.

    Thems the breaks, we'll just have to try and take them down fast with as little light show as possible.

    Damn. They’re pretty obviously constructs though. Would you say these guys have spend three rounds in the room, searching, conversing? Long enough for an assassin, for example, to study a target intently?

    Yes, that seems about right by my estimation.

    Wow, Nat 1 for knowledge Arcana and the second attack. Cypher is not doing well today!

    Rerolling the first attack roll as I missed a bracket
    (1d20+6)[10]

    Wow, that's a total of 12 after knowledge devotion for 21 damage if it hits.

    Remember if you’re invisible to an enemy you get a +2; and probably against their flatfoot!

    Of all the times to get a crit, I have to say this is a pretty good time. Rolling for confirmation here rather than double-posting: (1d20+15)[22]

    Thanks but I'd already included it oh well.

    Attack of opportunity against the hound running away (unless it withdrew, which is why I've not done an IC post.

    (1d20+4)[11] for (2d4+16)[19] damage.

    Still a touch attack from wraithstrike.

    Edit: Ugh, he should have stayed behind the desk this mission.

    We... are not having a good infiltration. We might just have to take this woman, and her husband who apparently has some alchemical knowledge, and bounce before we bring the whole place down on our heads.

    Alright, tactical assessment time. If we chase the hounds to the alley and try to beat them down, are there like a million witnesses in this shanty town looking at us? Or is this alley discrete enough for some judicious dog-murder?

    It’s unlikely to go completely unwitnessed, the area outside the alley had pretty consistent light foot traffic, but the nearest town guards are dead on the floor so you might have some time before word gets to their friends, especially since the locals don’t seem to like them much.
