Shoot certainly, but hit?
But what if the cat is the intruder? Unless you're higher leveled then it's a mass murderer you're letting get close to you!Why would I do that? Better to throw the cat at an intruder, then shoot them while they're distracted.
On a totally unrelated tangent, I just made a scarily effective spear gun/crossbow from office supplies and a wooden skewer I nabbed from the break room.
Give me a fast-acting neurotoxin to coat the tip and I'll be ready to fight off anyone who invades the office, so long as they are within about 15 feet, give me time to assemble it and aim, and aren't wearing anything thicker than light cotton.
Or I could get a Critical and shoot out one of their eyes.
... I meant, use cats as projectiles. You know what cats do to 1st level commoners.Why would I do that? Better to throw the cat at an intruder, then shoot them while they're distracted.

Though all those who raise their hand against you, strike them down without hesitation or remorse. The mercy of the gods is all we can afford to offer those that defend the servants of the pit."

Technically, a pipe-canon, also known as "potato gun" should work fine as a cat-launching weapon.

Possible to make in office too.
Same.I would really like to know what exactly we attack before saying anything definitive here.
If this is cultist-headquarter we should kill everyone who can't be verified as human by our or Richard's sight.
If this is just a random Elephant's house we should act less extreme than Azel proposes.
Potato Canon design rarely allows for much use of duct tape.
@DragonParadox
1. What are Viserys and Ser Richard's IC expectations of the challenges inside? Rituals? Traps? Demons? Cultist champions?
2. Is this manse in particular a major hot spot that Zherys needed us to quell?
3. Should we expect terrified slaves inside that need rescuing?
4. How big is the manse?
5. Can we loot the manse while we're at it?
It's fine. As far as I'm concerned, all of Volantis is the loot for this mission. Everything else is just a nice bonus.@Duesal , maybe loot it just to show who's boss. If he complains, loot his necromancer too.
That just means Lya needs to invent some spellcraft to extract information from the grasping finges of reality itself.
Did we ever get a rare book out of this? Scrolls that were scribed in the Freehold itself definitely seem awesome enough to warrant it.Ransacking the room is much faster than it otherwise would have been with the owner's feverish participation. You recover several scrolls that contained histories written in Valyria itself and in the days following the Doom as well as ledgers and property writs to many of the house's larger properties and stacks of correspondence dating back centuries, some of which still had political significance in the right hands.
That changes the calculus quite a bit. Adjusting vote in a moment.
- Traps, mundane guards, maybe some lesser demons
- No, but this is a vote for how you will approach the whole action
- Maybe
- About a hundred rooms
- Zherys would appreciate it if you did not
