So I have my party of Thodren, Jehral and Gustav ready to kill some monsters. Still... We'd better go over some strategy, I don't want to get trampled to death by a rampaging hell-beast. It's basically an open field from the village to the forest where the thing seems to be living. Where, how and when we fight might make a big difference.

Stop faffing about. Take Atu's bombs and that knife you're holding. Load up with provisions and stuff so you can actually get there. Bring some rope, too. Everything else you can procure on-site.

lessee...
Keep to the daggers. They're light, and can be deadly when properly used.
Get some throwing knives... let's say 6 on a belt around your stomach/hip for easy access. Silent, and good for far distance death.

<--- and possibly one of these

something to cover your face might be helpful too. So that your face isn't remembered if someone sees it and survives. Something that'll strike fear in your enemies...

That's all I can think of.

I expect some acrobatics and epic maneuvers from you.

Okay, so I have a knife, rope, rations, Nako's bomb packs, and one of those magic holding bags for everything to go in. The last of my gold can go in there too, I only have ¤354 left. I guess I should manage my money better...

Nah, they have been wisely ivested in making you more badass.

Now transform into a human and lets get going. Can't have them noticing your rather unique and sexy looks now can we? This operation might also take some time, you will have to see what their security measures are like and how to best penetrate them.

Once you have the information you need it's time to strike. Bastards won't know what hit them.

Leave immediately. No more dicking around.

Speaking of dicks, turn into a male so you get less attention. Any species is fine as long as it's not a hybrid.

Be sure to turn human at least a day before, so you can shapechange back into into something else during the mission. Probably to fly away as a dragon, but we'll see how it goes.

Sneak to outskirts of the camp first, then transform into whatever species they use for menial labour. Nobody questions a grunt carrying a (supposedly) heavy bag of stuff.

If you haven't gotten flying down yet it might be an idea to stop by a cliff overlooking a lake or the sea. Then you could jump off it and practice flight. Being able to fly will be incredibly beneficial when it comes down to infiltrating or escaping.

I'm probably ready to go, unless there's something else I should do first. Otherwise, I can head out any time. The timing is good. It's almost winter. Up north will be dark most of the time at this point. That makes it a hell of a lot easier to sneak around.

>if you pull this off you'll be set for life.
I'd have to live really frugally or die really young for that to be true, but it's still a great big sack of money.

>turn into a male so you get less attention.
I'd rather get no attention. Gender won't help me stay out of sight and I'd rather not get distracted by weird dangly bits...

>Being able to fly will be incredibly beneficial when it comes down to infiltrating or escaping.
Flying hurts and by flying, I mean falling head first into the ground over and over. If I can learn enough to get me there faster, it would be worth it, but I doubt I'd want to get into any kind of missile range in that form. I'd just be a big, scaly target.
>>

It'd have been a great way to make your escape.

Well, make sure you got throwing knives at least. you're gonna need em.

Derp, you should have been practicing flying. You still might consider turning into one for that purpose depending on how you need to escape. Even if you crash it's better than just jumping from a soon to explode building.

no use crying over spilled milk. luckily i have "use dragon for for some reason" filed under plan C. so we are still good to go.

>I'd rather get no attention.
Well, you'll probably need to disguise yourself to sneak in to places. It's a lot easier and less suspicious to walk in the front door than down through a skylight. But we'll play this by ear.

Continue onwards to your target.

Well then, assume human form or whatever species is the most common in that region and then lets get going. The key to not being noticed is not really in not being seen, it's to make sure you're simply not worth remembering. If nobody remembers they ever saw you a minute after seeing you then you're doing pretty good, if they can't remember it after 10 seconds then you're doing freaking great.

Anyway, can't make any true plans before we see the place. So chop chop, move those soon to be human or something else legs.

Then it's good that I haven't gone very far... or anywhere. I'll get up the nerve eventually!

>you shoulda practiced flying.
I don't know anyone with wings to teach me anything. I wouldn't know where to start.

Okay. I'll pick up a few extras before I go. Anything else I might need?

I'm not stalling, by the way. I'm being cautious...

Magic flight. No polymorph required.
Even just a magic-assisted jump would be great; the utility of being able to get up and over walls quickly and silently can't be overstated.
>>
No. 231687 ID: c71597

>>231684
Well if you get a few more knives that can be used for throwing and stabbing then you're probably good.

For the whole flight thing I supesect you're gonna have to experiment on your own. If you find a nice gently sloping hill with a lake at the bottom of it that should be good practice area. But that's for after the mission.

Now get to shapeshifting into an appropriate species and then get moving. We have a castle to infiltrate and a golem to explode, and you won't get paid unless you're the one to do it.

Rynh, you are going about the flying thing all wrong. You can't fly in that form. It's just not built for that. You have to use magic to help lift you.

Is it possible to acquire any magic healy dealies? If you're going this alone, you'll need a decent substitute for a dedicated medic. It'll cost you, but it could save your life.

If there any any other type of potion/item things that look interesting, like something to remove curses, open/melt locks, etc., might be good to pick those up too.

Basically... you know what you're good at. Find things that would help you get by in areas you're *not* so good at.

The question about healing potions reminds me.

Since we're committing to the stealthy approach, might I recommend a blackjack and some flash powder? You seem to already have methods to generate water and fire, and nobody used moss arrows, anyway.
>>
No. 231850 ID: a7a85a

>>231684

Uhm...Assuming you pull this off, how are you going to prove you did it? You might need to grab some key component to the golem as proof. Kind of like taking the head to the guys that want it destroyed.

You miiiight even want to make Jehral or Thodren wait with them so some shifty ass-hat doesn't claim your reward before you can get there. I admit the probability of this happening is low, you probably won't need to, but the idea irked me enough to bear mentioning.

Yes... get some moss arrows, a couple landmines, a blackjack, maybe a few flash bombs...

Cautious is good. You (apparently) have plenty of time to scout and research the area, limited only by your current funds for food and lodging. Though the lodging thing could probably be avoided at first by camping. If you end up staying in the area for a while you may have to set yourself up with lodging that people know about, even if you never use it. Depending on how paranoid they are, no matter what disguise you're using, people will wonder where you're staying.
The alternative being avoiding social contact completely.

Do you have a map of the kingdom you're going to? A good first step could be plotting a route, and picking out a hiding place.

Okay.
>A trained messenger hawk or a speaking spell scroll.
It costs most of my remaining cash, but I get a communication rune thingy and leave it at base to talk to others. If that's not what you had in mind, fuck it.
>some form of healing, maybe a potion
I grab a few... or three.

Well, I am out of money, so I will be on my way to the evil fortress of death.

The docks are carved into the cliff side and seem to be the least guarded point. Time to get this mess under way.
