"I have a spell to scout around. Probably would be harder to notice too. But you guys would need to guard my body while I did it."

"Statement: this one will look after your mortal vessel."

[Twinwolf]

Ebony sits down- doesn't want to fall over and break her head when she casts- and casts Shadow Observer.

[Ozarck]

Must... Regain... Control!

(3) at least yo uare conscious and able to contribute to the conversation. Your limbs still move without you, but you can bite and cast.

"Whispered query: So, how do we handle this?
Concerned statement: This one feels it wise to avoid further fighting and simply getting the hell out of here, but we really need to cross that bridge. Our fighting force is also down a lot since the beginning of this mission, so we may simply get overwhelmed.
Suggestions: This one could send its scouts in the air to find an alternate route, but there is no guarantee that there is one."

Guard Ebony, keep an eye out for hostiles. Have one bee look for alternate routes and one bee for approaching hostiles.

One bee scouts along the shore of the river for a ways. It notes that the river banks are not steep, nor is the river significantly guarded. There are a few late night people down about there though, river ratmen, a few surly looking dwarves, you know the lot. Bridge trolls. tHE other bee doesn't detect any hostiles approaching, unless you count the surly river dwarves.

"Look for a boat we can steal. Gotta have some piracy to round out the day."

How many guards, and how alert are they?

looks like eight to ten on this side. They look to be in varying degrees of wakefulness. There are two trolls, and some kind of floating thingum. It looks wispy.

Okay. You cast, and see the shadows nearby flicker and shimmer, occasionally lifting from the ground or walls or what have you, before settling back. You're tapped in, and you see strange glowing points, like eyes, appear and disappear seemingly randomly among the shadows. You notice that you get flickering visions of nearby places when the eyes appear. your awareness of the nearby region is expanded dramatically, though your awareness of yourself is, as you suspected it would be, limited.

[Zormod]

Try for a limb or two, now.

"Whispered statement: This one's little eyes in the sky report that the river banks are not stoop and the river is not very guarded. Several late night people are down at the river banks, however, but no guards that it can see."

[Twinwolf]

Ebony, through the spell, scouts the area to see if there's an ideal spot to cross the river- preferably one where they could cross unseen and easily, but not too far from the extraction area- and then trying to find a good route from that crossing too the extraction.

[Harry Baldman]

"Hm. Keep looking. Any boats or rafts we could steal?"

[Pancaek]

Could we easily cross this river by foot?

In any case, keep one bee looking for hostiles and one bee looking for a raft or a boat to cross the river unseen by the guards on the bridge.

[Harry Baldman]

Keep a lookout. Maybe poke Solam to help him get back to his old murderous self again.

[Ozarck]

Try for a limb or two, now.

(1) Your body becomes stiff and immobile. Nwo it doesn't even respond to the others' pushing it or pulling it. You are undeadweight.

The nearest other bridge is about a mile upstream, and there is enough activity around that area that you would be seen. the shadows seem reluctant to cross the river itself, for some reason.

you could not. it is deep enough for river traffic - barges and the like. You find a canoe tied to a dock, quarter mile down stream. Looks like it could hold two of you and the idol.

Keep a lookout. Maybe poke Solam to help him get back to his old murderous self again.

You poke him, but get no reaction. He stares straight ahead, eyes unmoving, mouth slightly agape. His skin is hard and unyielding to the touch. Still, no one accosts you guys. so that's good.

[Harry Baldman]

To the canoe! Me and Clunkers take that route, leave Ebony with the task of making sure Solam gets out of here in one piece.

[Zormod]

Oh, that's even worse. Try to fix that whole "Unresponsive" mess.

[Pancaek]

Indeed, to the canoe! Have both bees scout ahead as we make our way there. Once there, see if there's anything around we should take not of. Make sure to bring the idol.

[Twinwolf]

((So, how do you expect Ebony and Solam to get across if it's too deep to be easily crossed? I don't think Ebony has a spell for that. Unless maybe she freezes a part of the river.))
