[spoiler]Marlowe is probably at 24M, right where he can advise Cade of anything that he notices.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Raoul would likely be a couple squares back and to the left of Xuuvosic.[/spoiler]
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

[spoiler]I'm at K24, progressing up that line until something... interesting happens.  Assuming Malphas is bound successfully, I'm invisible.  Let me know if you want the check made.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]He doesn't even need to be bound successfully. He just needs to be bound. You still bind him if you miss the check. You are just influenced by the vestige. So yeah, go ahead and make the check, but you'll still be invisible.

Do you have a bird summoned? If so, where are you sending it?[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

[spoiler]I keep reminding myself, and forgetting the next day:  First coffee, THEN post.  http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2346538/Bound successfully, exactly a 15.  There's a raven summoned, heading to just above the presumptive gate at L1.  I do not, currently, have poison available.  Must fix this posthaste.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well, you won't need it unless you roll poorly on the binding check, which isn't the case.  :p (Having played somewhat extensively with Binders, I know it can be a little hard to keep track of everything...)[/spoiler]

Xuuvosic approaches front and center, but at a dawdling pace. The yokel with a big jaw covered with stubble, Khammeck walks beside him to the left. The hag, in voluptuous guise drifts slightly in the marching order, but for the most part remains a little to the right of Raoul. [spoiler]Behind her the Psurlon, Shlurshech stalks invisibly. Above the main group, two of the Cloakers, Oggug and the vampiric Oaxool, circle.[/spoiler]

In a voice a couple of octaves above his usual baritone, Xuuvosic speaks loudly, (hopefully) covering the sound of those approaching invisibly, "So, as you can imagine, I had one heck of a time getting those weeds out of my fields. I swear, the darn things grow three times as fast as my actual crops. Oh hey! Hellooo the city! Aren't you guys a sight for sore eyes. While we were on the road, horrible things stalked us from the north. I can't even describe them. But were were sure lucky to make it here ..."

He continues to blather. But at the same time, Xuuvosic's real voice is relayed telepathically to the group, I know we could take the motherfuckers. But if they see through our shit and attack, we gotta fucking fall back. We can sneak in elsewhere if that's the deal. But if we push the shit here, we won't be able to get dick from the city itself. And don't fucking forget that y'all can teep back. Just think back at that slimy violated feeling in your heads.

Cade, in the guise of the old man, walks forward with the group at a slowed pace, 20 ft/round, to accomodate the elderly sense of being slow as molasses. Every once in a while he bends forward and rubs one of his legs, as though it is aching from a long journey.

When within visible range of the wall, Cade looks up at the city, his eyes gleaming with hope and relief.

He then thinks back to the group, They better buy this. If they don't, there is something wrong with them.

Marlowe ambles forward, attempting to exude an aura of exhausted terror from their "journey." He keeps an eye out for anyone approaching the group while occasionally stopping to help Cade.

[spoiler]So the flying cloakers are about 100 feet up? And a some of your other minions are ambling along invisibly with the rest of the group? What about Inna's summoned raven/dove above the gate? How high is that? Will post more later.[/spoiler]

You hear scrambling on the other side of the wall, and a voice which cracks with fear calls out "Halt right there in the light where we can see you! And don't say or do anything till the Captain gets here!"

"Don't shoot, we're not here to cause any trouble! We're mere travellers, see!" Raoul replies in a tone that belies an actual worry with being hurt.

[spoiler]The Harpy is 150' up in gaseous form. Two of the Cloakers are only a few feet above the party. The other is on X's back. All three are invisible. The hag is using disguise self. The weretiger is in human form. And the Psurlon is invisible.[/spoiler]

You hear the droning sound of spellcasting. You can't see the caster, but it sounds like it is coming from the other side of the wall, maybe through an arrow slit.

Raoul focuses his thoughts as he attempts to relay to Xuuvosic, "They're scanning for spells. Not sure how competent they are, but you should keep your buddies out of reach."

[spoiler]Ok... assuming no one else is doing anything, since they didn't post/respond.[/spoiler]

Several seconds pass, and you hear a single word being spoken. Then nothing for several more seconds.

Nearly a minute in total passes while you stand there being examined in the spotlights, and finally you hear a response from the other side of the wall. A high pitched, nasal sounding voice says:

"I don't know what your game is, but you're certainly no meek and humble travelers. More like wolves in sheep's clothing I'd wager. Get lost before we empty our quivers into you!"

"Riddle me this. If we intended to cause trouble in your town and had the means to do so, what makes you think we'd wait until we were inside the city gates first?" This isn't entirely untrue - they could certainly wreak havoc, but that was nowhere near their intention.

Cade becomes somewhat anxious. He sends a thought back to the group. "Don't we have anyone who could have just made them think we're harmless rather than pulling this? If we simply sneak in and they find us, they'll be no more accomodating. Was this your grand plan all along? Now they're on enhanced guard, and it'll be even more difficult to get in."

The squeaky voice replies "Look... I don't know why you are here, or why you haven't just starting looting and raping our corpses, or whatever you guys do for kicks judging from your auras, but I am sure that you are bad news and letting you in here will cause me nothing but trouble. So... get lost!"

An arrow sticks in the ground at Rauol's feet to add emphasis. It looks kind of small, though, as it quivers back and forth in the bright light of the torches around you.

It wouldn't have mattered, unless you all decided to run completely away before he finished scanning you with Detect Magic and Detect Evil. :P[/spoiler]
