Sonnaba reflected on the suggestions. “Here what me think. Trebbits: clanfear trick good, should be used again, but think you need fighter for backup, not mage. Placement of ruby be key. We need ruby far from leader, and far from door. We count on who go in to pick out leader: golden lady. Also, maybe some be invisible and join?”

He thought for a moment before continuing, “Maybe you go is too dangerous: no backup. What if you open door, Rif or Gratch sneak and throw ruby into middle of room. Bradas appear from ruby and yell about stopping evil, then we quietly run at leader…that way we surprise all and not be separated.”

"Last thing. Me find from many battles: simple plan work more than complicated plan. Less things go wrong. If like I show you scars..." he finished with a grin.

Trebbits was already fired up to go in but something in the back of his mind said, 'don't count on tricking the leader with measly illusions.' This rang in his ears like the sound of waves on the shoreline, and Trebbits, as pumped as he was could not help but wonder if this little voice was his family power making it known that the trick would not work a second time and on so many. This in his mind Trebbits had to agree that a different but similar approach might be best. "Your right Sonnaba, besides tricking a brute may come easy but I am sure there are brains in that room as well and so my level of illusion very likely would not full them. I think we need to get that ruby in the room though for sure."

Well it had certainly been eventful, these past few moments. The Breton had disguised himself as a daedra and gotten both of his legs broken by the very large, very powerful, and very invisible thing from which they were hiding. Next he knew he was being mentioned in a plan to sneak into a room, possibly filled with more daedra, and toss a ruby inside so the mage could do use his "great spell".

"I'm not sure I like those ideas", Rif finally spoke up, "Though they don't seem to be very intelligent, these creatures will likely see through our illusionary tricks. A single wizard materializing in the middle of a daedric meeting doesn't sound very believable, and the most important part of any lie is it's credibility." He continued with his thoughts; "If we alert these creatures in any way we're simply forfeiting our element of surprise. They will likely destroy this fake mage in moments and from then on, wonder how it got in and how it planned to get out. They will re-check all the entry and exit points and only if we're lucky will they not reinforce them. Don't forget we need to get out of here too." Rif had seen many house guards do this and it had cost many fellow thieves their lives or hands. He hadn't cared much since it only meant less competition but he was rather fond of his hands and where they were, not to mention his ability to breathe.

"I propose this; we should try and catch the leader alone and off guard. It's the same for cutting a purse, more people means more ways to be seen. If we can somehow slay the leader while the others are unaware or their attentions are diverted we have a far more likely chance of survival. Remember, dying for glory and justice may be good and dandy to some of you but I'm in this for the gold. I can't spend it if I can't breathe. As always, discretion is our ally."

He looked to the others and wondered if his advice would be taken into consideration.

"Trebbits, your idea was good," Fadril commented, "but I think I prefer Rif's plan."

Trebbits took a deep breath, it was time they knew. "Look, I didn't tell you all before because I knew there was no way to stop it from above. There is a device in the gatehouse, an anchient device and powerful one. The leader intends to set it off and from the feeling I had and that was given to me by the lady this evil leader plans on doing it now. If that device is set off there will be none of us and thousands of others to worry about who was a hero and who wasn't or who has gold and who doesn't. That device is a doomsday device that will bring an end to everything as we know it. We have NO time left and our best and likely only hope is to do what we came to do, KILL the leader and as fast as possible, hence my thoughts on the plan..."

Trebbits hangs his head and waits to hear what they have to say now.

If we could somehow lure the leader's minions away... I could let my copy run into the room, go out with all the minions behind him, and let them run into a tunnel." Bradas said, deeply thinking. " A tunnel we aren't in now, or going to be in when getting out. I think most of the minions are dying to kill something, so they should chase them. I don't think the leader would waste his time on it. So then the leader would be alone, or atleast less protected. I've lost track of where we are now, so could that be possible?"

A recce into the room might help your deliberations

Trebbits remembered something he had brought for Semink but now that Semink was out guarding their retreat path he thought the arrows he carried would be best in the hands of any other archer. Pulling his pack around where he could het them, he pulled out the 24 arrows and asked if anyone in the party was in need of them. I thought perhaps if we do the ruby plan that archers could keep any straggling minions at bay while the swordsman Fadril and perhaps Gratch go after the leader, I think they could sneak attack better then any of the rest of us in this situation. But I suppose we won't know what will be best until the doors are opened and we see what lays beyond... unless that map shows the next chamber a bit better?"

Not having been able to make more of a contribution till now Frog whispers to the others "I could use my amulet of detect creature to see how many creatures there are and it should tell me approcamately where they are or do you think they would detect it? Or I could cast invisibility and then enter the room to see what's hapening there, I should be ok as long as I don't touch anything and I doubt the master would be on his guard with all his hencemen around, the thiefs might even be able to enter while they are busy as the minions would have their attention with the master."

“It possible leader not behind door. Methink we need look” Sonnaba interjected. “Any sneaky types poke head in?”
