Delve 18

[merias]

Aldbane gives no warning, and casts hold person on the wizard.

| The bird men have always attacked us, I'm thinking there is no need to parley. |

[mushgnome]

Potential change of plans: If Aldbane's spell is successful vs the wizard, then Frankln & co. would switch targets to the bird-men.

[Vortimer]

Naillus will wait until he also sees the success of the 'hold' and use the wand of fire if necessary.

[kipper]

Maloof keeps back out of the way and dons his Ring of Invisibility.

Question: Could Maloof theoretically (if he wanted to) ride his Broom of Flying and fire a crossbow while zipping around above a battle? Or does he need to use his hands to control the broom and/or hold on to prevent himself from falling off?

Since the idea sounds fun, let's make it work. I would argue that he would have to be stationary to fire. In other words, fly to where you want, hover, then shoot

[Makofan]

The spell works! The wizard is held immobile. The birdmen charge

** State your combat intentions **

| Aldbane casts Hold Person, wizard rolls 10 -2 = 8, fails |

[mushgnome]

Balbo and Drogo target the birdmen with their slings. Franklin draws his sword and shield. If any of the birdmen survive the missile volley and close to melee distance, he will step forward to meet their charge (protecting his friends).

[merias]

Aldbane and Bannon will wade into melee after any spells/missile fire, if needed.

[kipper]

If there is enough ceiling space, the Invisible Maloof will board his Broom of Flying. Otherwise, he'll just use his crossbow from the ground (keeping back out of melee).

room height is about 10' - what do you think?
