er wait I think i just picked that spell up and we haven't rested yet, dang)
(Drafter changed it to getting ur stuff at level up right away. You just don't regen anything you've already used until you long rest).

(You don't see him from inside the building, no)
(Ok)
Snerp is startled by the Hags appearing but quickly regains his composure and jokes
Wasn't expecting you lovely ladies to be back so soon, I would have made some tea ๐.
He fuses magical energy into his words using his lute as a focus and directs that energy at the Hag on the stairs(cast Dissonant Whispers on Hag "O" w/ lvl 1 spell slot) before running up the stairs as he yells
We have company! They're back! Somebody get the children to safety!

@drafterman
(is that raven back too btw?
@everyone-ย Hag coven confirmed, so that would presumably make the raven their "Hag Eye" so destroying it will do damage and blind them all until they make a new one.)

@drafterman
(there's gotta be a secret entrance or otherwise in this windmill. "Bella" had to have gone somewhere.)
Snerp thoroughly searches for any sort of button, lever, etc. that might activate a secret door. He starts on the third and slowly works his way down the levels of the windmill.ย

but Roberts finds six pieces of jewelry hidden in the mattress.
(What kind of jewelery?)

(well, it's questionable she'd be in front of the door still. And likely saw us approaching and took cover ๐.)

Snerp rushes in after Eikka, daggers drawn, ready to attack.ย

(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.ย
tl;dr- if all three are there we might be in over our heads ๐)

(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.)

(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.)

So burn it down?)
(That would probs destroy or damage whatever loot there is to find.)

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

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

@drafterman
Why don't you come in and have a pie?
Snerp giggles and responds, focusing magical energy into his words.(Cast Suggestion on Bella.)
Ok, but first play a game of tag with me!ย
He runs up and tags her quickly, yellingย "You're it, now you gotta tag me!"ย as he dashes away back in the direction of the group hiding in wait. Not waiting to see if she follows.ย

If that's flair you sure made it seem like it's not ๐๐

(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.)

@drafterman
Well, helloย little child. What are you doing so far away from the village?
Snerp, still acting as a child, responds.
I wandered over here. I wanted one of Maggie's pies and couldn't wait! Who are you?ย
(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.)

@drafterman
(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.ย
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.

Youย may not care about the collateral damage of your actions, but I do.ย
What of the collateral damage of more kids being cooked alive if we chose not to stop and deal with Maggie? The most prudent choice for your sisters safety would be to ignore Maggie, that is true. If things turn south against Maggie you have my word I'll do everything I can to make sure you both at least get away safely.
However, there might be a better way. I will disguise myself as a child and act like I've wandered over here while playing. This might draw Maggie out from her den and into the open allowing us to surprise her.ย

(She's probably already heard us, but even if we draw her out, we're still going inside to loot anyways ๐.)

@drafterman
Do you think you're the first set of adventurers to come through here with visions of liberation and revolt? Many of my people have died for your people's causes
We're not here to get a bunch of people to get themselves slaughtered. But if Strahd shows up and we're dealing with Maggie, that's pretty much exactly what will happen to both of you. Hence why y'all should be coming inside with us.ย
By all means, if you want to sit out the fight, feel free to pull out art supplies and paint a rendition of it for us though.

Eikka takes a desiccated ogre hand from her pouch and hands it to Ismark

(I don't like the thought of leaving Ismarck and Ireena out here alone tbh. But on the other hand, I really don't like the thought of not killing Maggie ๐ฟ)

@TheDredPriateRoberts
This would be a perfect distraction for Strahd to come and steal her away.
Snerp tries to persuade Ismarck,
I would prefer you both accompany us specifically for that reason. You handled yourself well against Doru and from my point of view it's better you accompany us inside the windmill then be sitting ducks out here alone ๐.ย

Snerp keeps a wary eye on the surroundings, remaining alert to any percieved or potential threats.
(Is there anything thats a short distance away from the windmill that could be used to secure the horses?)

He said when I was very young, they found me on the outskirts of the woods at the foot of the pillars of Ravenloft
(Tatyana ressurected or saved from her fall somehow? Maybe she had eternal youth and her fall removed it and she started aging normally? Idk, just spitballin lol)
Kolyan adopted and raised me as a daughter, but never told me the truth.
It's a good thing such a loyal and caring family found you in this evil place.ย
Snerp sees the windmill and his expression hardens.
It will be dark soon. We should hurry and visit Maggie before nightfall.ย

(well i had no clue I could till this point. Can we just set the spells that way as if I changed the spells from level 2 onward? Pleaseeeeee? Cause I made three changes essentially. Eassentially wanna take out thunderwave, illusory script, and heroism, for Dissonant whispers, suggestion and hold person.ย
But if not I'll learn Suggestion, then swap out Heroism for Bane. And wait to swap Illusory for Hold Person and Thunderwave for Dissonant Whispers later then ๐.)
