"Aye, I can help with the golem too. Both me swords should work on it. I just ask that when it knocks me unconscious you two" Fay points at Poljen and Velon, "Do no accidentally leave me behind. Come to think on it, not on purpose either."
When Fay says 'accidentally' Velon gets his mouth halfway open to comment on the other option but Fay beats him to tying up that loophole. Velon feigns disappointment with a sad look on his face. "Ok fine" he says, but then grins at Faevalor.
"Mighty Cratol leading the resistance outside. I LIKE IT! The man of action, one we can trust out here. Anyone else? Would someone be able to signal Snapjaw? Lia, perhaps your messaging spells? I really should learn how that works."
Lia listens to everyone speaking about the various options. She closes her eyes and says a silent prayer to Sune asking for her guidance. After a moment she studies them and then begins to speak. " I feel that all of you pretty much have the right if it. We have to achieve both objectives. The stone golem is going to be a huge problem. We need a distraction. "
" I feel that we should split our forces. We must remember that the black dragon mask is our main objective. If we achieve everything else but fail to retrieve it then we have failed our mission. There is no guarantee that we could ever attempt this again. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into this attempt. I like the idea of Poljen and Velon taking on the Stone Golem while the others go in and steal away the mask and free the other lizardfolk. I'll go with them to help keep them alive. Everyone else should go on to get the mask. If you are stealthy and quiet that will be your objective. Anyone that isn't capable of sneaking around should join the group attacking the Stone Golem. "
She looks thoughtfully at Poljen's eagle. " I do not have my messages spell committed to memory. Poljen, would you be able to send your eagle out to Snapjaw to inform him it has begun. Merely the sight of the eagle circling above him would be his sign. Does anyone see any issues or have any problems with this?"

"I have a grappling hook and climbing gear, and can cast Silence. When you guys begin engaging them; Jack, Zarra and I, and anyone else wanting to come, shall sneak up the outside wall. Odds are the mask is closer to the top, it may even be under that brass dome."
Oswald starts pulling out his gear. "I just hope that none of these foes are too strong for our divided party."

"Stealth is definitely something I can offer," Zarra says, perking up at the wood elf's words before continuing and nodding at Oswald's suggestion, "I can help sneak in there and get this mask you seek." WIth a pause for consideration and adding softly, "Even if I know not why you need it." The drow's tone was questioning, clearly wishing to know more of what they were trying to do.

Poljen frowns. "I do not know where we will be so I don't know if there will be easy access to a window or door for Trammet. If we are below ground level, it might not work. And if we are below ground and need reinforcements, the ones outside trying to climb will be quite far away. With a foe as difficult as this stone golem is supposed to be, I am not sure that leaving any of us outside is a good idea. Other than having the lizards attack for a distraction."
Out of Character:
Can Trammet stay outside the whole time and still be controlled by Poljen, Paul? I forget the rules on distance, etc. With a familiar.
My memory is foggy, did Snapjaw say they knew a way in? If so we may not need to scale any walls.
