Wilhelm laughs, "Hehe, ok, what a weird discussion. Well well. Amalgaid for the hilltop; Osgood for the hilltop; Angriff for the hilltop; Mathuin for the...
A suitable place is quickly found, a patch of trees and scrub near the top of the hill. Darkness descends as you settle into the cold camp. Angriff is well...

A light-sleeper at the best of times Angriff is awake at the first touch of Mathuin's hand. The wizard undoubtedly notices the faint reddish glow coming from...

Osgood simply waits, thinking that a couple of well-placed grease may be a very sound initial step. He holds himself quietly, waiting for an appropriate time...
OOC: Trilious also has a Grease spell (or two) if more lard will help and a Melf's Acid Arrow when the time comes. Maleki's spells are mostly for protection...
