Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
All the magic gets rescaled with you (including Tk effects). Otherwise, you could do things like blow 3 Large mice apart with a single casting of Magic Missile.

You can assume you have some gold left over from the dragon's hoard.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
It's the afternoon the day before the party. You have about 26 hours to make any necessary preparations.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
So, I've added Animal Friendship (for owls) and Conjure Animals (instead of Call Lightning because house) to memorize.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Has everyone finished their preparations? Are we ready to time-skip to Shrinking Time?

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
If you want to befriend owls, you need to do it before Shrink-Time, and I'll need some details about who's going to try to do it and how.

Raevis. I can describe later, but, basically, via Animal Friendship.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Plan added. I suggest not to hunt for mice ourselves, but to to buy them.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
You can certainly find a place to buy live mice, but the mice will be much larger than you when you are shrunken. How do you plan to move them?

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
They are needed only to lure owls. Small pieces of food is a material component of the spell, and in this case we must be sure, that owls come. So, mice it is. In no way we are going to take them with us. Although mice riding might be not the worst idea. But then there can be a cat in the house...

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
The mice can't get past the wards, only the owls. I think the plan is
1. buy mice
2. find owls
3. cast animal friendship, using mice as food
4. feed all the mice to the owls
5. shrink
6. ride owls into house
7. find book
8. deploy portable hole below book
9. push book into hole
10. fold up portable hole
11. escape
12. huge profits

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Shrinking happens at Olivier's office, unless you want to stand around in an alley in the good part of town doing obvious magic with disappearing (shrinking) people around sunset.
When do you plan to befriend the owls, and how will you reach them?

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Well, I also thought, that we're going to shrink only near house, after we've befriended the owls.
In other case, I don't know, how do we get there.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Olivier has a box. He's also got a long string tied to it that you can use to descend the 960' (relative size) stone fence wall, in case you didn't plan for that, and the portable hole folded up and tied to be relatively small (about 50 lbs relative weight).

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
I have spider climb and can carry one person at a time over the wall. So long as they don't weigh more than 250 pounds, I can carry us one at a time over the wall ala Princes Bride sans the rope. Then lower each down with the rope on the other side.
It lasts an hour and gives me a climbing speed equal to my walking speed.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Maybe the rest of us could shrink, then Raevis could stay normal size for now and be the only one to shrink after he befriends the owls.
J-H, if this adventure relies on us walking through the yard, and using the owls would mess up the adventure, it might be better to have the owls prevented from entering without getting zapped, instead of them having free passage. We wouldn't have even pursued this option if that had been the case.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
I think you're going to have trouble reaching the owls, who nest in another estate that has some wards. There's also the challenge of "befriend when you're human size, then expect that to carry over to when you are snack sized" with creatures that have INT 1 or INT 2.
Perhaps Olivier could bring up having already thought about charming an owl and dismissed it due to the wards and their lack of intelligence?
The owls add a flying enemy that makes "We'll all just fly across the yard" have an element of risk. They are 10-20 times the size of the party, and it's hard to hide in midair unless you're outright invisible.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
I'd prefer not flying on owls - or rather make that an option, once we are shrunk.
A dead mouse should be good enough as bait.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
Of course, in this case I'd prefer not to deal with them, and to leave the distraction.
So, we're getting inside without the owl's help. Do we need to describe the way, we are going to get there? I guess, our quest-giver will send there someone with the box, but it'll be probably left behind the fence.

Re: A Small Heist [5e] OOC
I had Breddo roll stealth, but do we really want to do that? At least not until we get close?
Maybe even wait till we are in.
