Quasi Dungeons and Dragons

(trying to lure her out ain't half bad an idea. Let's give it a try.)

While the rest of the group hides to ambush Maggie, Snerp draws from his memory of people's faces and disguises himself as the same small child accidentally killed earlier. He changes to a different outfit, one that has less of an appearance of "adventurer" more of an appearance of "average commoner". Then begins playing about the windmill out front of it, shifting his voice as he does to sound like a small child's to decieve anyone listening or watching. 

He leaves most of his gear hidden beside others, save for two concealed daggers and his lute, which he haphazardly plays at times with the skill level of a fresh novice. Poor timing, wrong chords, lack of string muting, the whole 9 yards. Cringing internally as he does at the playing.

Ismark: Then we will help as we can.

[Snerp Deception Roll: d20 (6) + 4 = 10]

After a few minutes of "playing", the front door opens up. A young woman stands upon the threshold and looks about. When she sees the "child" she smiles and gives a wave.

Woman: Well, hello little child. What are you doing so far away from the village?

(if this idea works you the real MvP 👏🔥)

Snerp, still acting as a child, responds.

(I think it's still Maggie, or this means hag coven confirmed. In which case get ready for one hell of a fight and potentially turning tail and running cause 3 hags ain't no joke.)

Bella: Me? My name is Bella. You must be hungry. A lone child. Walking all this way by yourself. Why don't you come in and have a pie?

(ok guys, judgement call. This is a coven or Maggie disguised, or Maggie is somehow keeping the kids a secret from someone.

I can try to draw her out so we can capture her. Or draw her out to kill her. But going in alone seems foolish. Unless it's to try and deduce which of the possibilities it may be.

I'd prefer capture as a means to find that out.)

When Bella opened the door, the squawking raven flew away and off toward the forest.

^^

If that's flair you sure made it seem like it's not 😂😂

(Do not go in there. Yell "catch me if you can" like it's a game and then lead her towards us.)

(just be careful Hanzel  lol )

(don't forget your friends who are shy and scared but waiting in the bushes, maybe she can go over and talk to them so you all can go inside)(if the situation presents it self we shouldn't let her go back in, or you go in and locate whatever stone thing you were talking about.)

Snerp giggles and responds, focusing magical energy into his words.(Cast Suggestion on Bella.)

He runs up and tags her quickly, yelling "You're it, now you gotta tag me!" as he dashes away back in the direction of the group hiding in wait. Not waiting to see if she follows. 

(capture it is hombres. If she a hag she gets killed. But I'd rather not kill another innocent person tbh.)

(be ready to insight check on interrogating Bella once she's captured 👍.)

Wait... so she went back inside?

(did suggestion not work? Or was I using it wrong?)

(Hag Coven confirmed imho. Maggie or the third may be gone, hence the crow flying away.)

(She never came outside, she was always on the threshold of the door. And no, suggestion did not work.)

(Raven*)

(Shoot, level 2 slot down the toilet 😑)

@Buddamoose @TheDreadPirateRoberts @kindertina @earth @Drafterman 

(So burn it down?)

(well, I guess storming the windmill it is)

Snerp quickly retrieve his things, removes his disguise and changes his clothing back. 

(That would probs destroy or damage whatever loot there is to find.)

(intimidation doesn't seem to work, brute force it is then)

(may I suggest the tanks go in first? Earth could probably bust through the door himself with Roberts right behind and create a hell of a distraction for the rest of us to swarm in.)

(turn dead prolly won't work, but i can use Dissonant Whispers to fear one of them away if one or both of the other hags are there, while the others are focus dps'd down.)

(ladies first)

(being that Maggie seems to go to the village during the day, we might have lucked out on the coven being separated. If it was all three I'd say we gtfo cause Hags are CR5 and 3 of them would, if xp were being given, be well over the typical daily budget for 5 level 4's and be well into "deadly" territory. 

tl;dr- if all three are there we might be in over our heads 😂)
