Subject Ran's plan
"That's not a bad idea Ran. But, wouldn't it be great if we could all sneak in like Allistair little snake? We could come at them from inside the prison when they weren't looking. Couldn't we get a couple of us on the inside somehow?? I don't know how, maybe teleport one or two of us like the druids did to get us here, or turn one of us into a worm, or maybe a snake like little Sysphys here, or maybe a rat -no one would notice a rat or two crawling their way aournd down there."

"I agree that it would be ideal if we could enter in undetected. Remember that if the Stormfather is not being kept here, but rather at the estate, we'll have tipped our hand if we go in in force. Ideally we would want to sneak in. Of course, if that's not possible I'm not averse to fighting our way in, preferably while the Mayor himself is gone."

OOC: Mark, would Allistair snake be able to give us a basic map/description/layout? I understand that he idea of size will come from a differnent point of view, but I hope he would be able to give us general ideas. He did spend a number of hours looking around.
Also, can we determine where his entrance hole is in relation to the main house?

Subject Ran's plan
His ability to match the underground layout with the upstairs outside layout. Sorry he is just a snake. You can get a very general idea from the write up.

Just out of curiosity, how many of the people in our party would have met or even recognize Stormfather Acer besides Salix?
From: Mark
Subject Ran's plan
None. Of the eight people in the party only Salix has ever met him. If I remember correctly.
I will have to check the archives and Karl might also have an idea.
The only time it might have been possible is before the party went on the mission to the Testing Grounds. At that time Salix went from 4th level to 5th level and Karl wrote up a very nice scene covering it. I do not think, however, that the Stormfather met any one else in the party.

Sorry my home connection is giving me problems.
The snake has limited ability to match upstairs with the underground layout. You can put together a basic layout from the description. It will not be perfect. I am trying to tred a fine line between what the Players HB says familiars can do and what I think they should be able to do as they and their masters get more powerful. I am going to offset that some by this.

OOC: I understand about the internal map. Can he give us a general idea of where the entrance is to where Allistair dropped him off (he did have to get back to where he met Allistair). Also, can he estimate the time it would take him to make a direct trip (not stopping to kick some more rat ass).
From: Mark
Subject Ran's plan
The entrance to the rats warren is several hundred feet from the house. He figures it would take 5- 10 minutes to get back now that he knows the way. That is assuming nothing gets in his way.

But it is inside the walls of the compound? I got that impression from the write up, but just wanted to confirm it.
From: Mark
Subject Ran's plan
He thinks it is.
