Falcon and Jennie Cel listened attentively to Patch’s plan.  At it’s completion, Falcon stared and Jennie Cel wrinkled her nose.  Falcon thought the plan was crazy, and Jennie Cel probably thought that it was so crazy that it might work.<br/><br/>Patch said:<em>"So here it is." Patch produced three small bottles -- purple, green and clear. There were no labels on the vials. He pushed them forward a few inches one by one as he spoke. "This one here, this makes you big. Ettin big. Only lasts about two minutes though, so you gotta time it. This green one here, this makes you look like an ettin, or any other damn thing you want. But for this plan, it's an ettin. A sexy, half-naked female ettin. What makes ettin's sexy? Hell if I know. Tits, I guess. Maybe four of 'em? Lasts about twenty minutes. And this last little one, which tastes like dog piss, sorry in advance, lets you understand what all four of those heads are saying, if you get 'em talking. You can't talk, just listen. Twenty minutes on that one too.”</em><br/><br/>Jennie Cel laughed.<br/><br/>“I love it!” she said.   “Snow, you simply must do it.”<br/><br/>“Wait,” Falcon said.   “No one here knows what a female ettin looks like.  I’ve never even heard of one.<br/><br/>“Oh, Falcon, dear,” Jennie Cel said, grinning wildly,  “Patch said it best.  You just put a little bit of makeup on an ettin and then slap some tits, too.  Sounds simple!”<br/><br/>Then Anafa added:<br/><br/><em>"And it doesn't even have to be that convincing, just seeing you outside would probably get them coming out to see what was going on.  Just as long as they aren't homicidally territorial around other ettins.  Though the two of them seem to be cohabiting.”</em><br/><br/>“This hints to the problem,” Falcon said.   “That we’re talking about<em>ettins</em>is strange.”<br/><br/>“Two ettins, three ettins, four ettins…” Jennie Cel said.   “Who cares?”<br/><br/>“…  It’s very uncommon,” Falcon said.   “No one has ever heard of it happening."<br/><br/>“Pish!” Jennie Cel said, laughing and taking a sip of her fancy drink.   “It’s a detail that matters relatively little, my dear.”<br/><br/>When Snow spoke, Falcon remained silent, but Jennie Cel giggled.<br/><br/>“Come on, Snow,” she goaded.   “Have some fun!  Live a little.”<br/><br/>“Let’s say that Snow does this,” Falcon said.  “How do we make it so that she can get out safely?  We can rig a harness.  In fact, I want all of you to be rigged to harnesses so that you can swing on to the platform, and then swing away.  But if she’s a different size…  well, we’d have to rig her harness so that she can manually alter it when she shrinks back.”<br/><br/>Falcon is describing a rigging system where a person is left dangling.  The person can then run back and forth along the mountain face to reach distances along a radius created by the rope's length.  Characters can "run" nearly 80 feet in this manner as a move action.<br/><br/>"You'll be able to attack and get out," Falcon said.   "I want all of you back in one piece."<br/><br/>“Always so sensible!” Jennie Cel said, grinning wryly.   “If only you weren’t so insensitive.”<br/><br/>“…  So, are we ready to get this under way?” Falcon asked.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Ruling for Anafa’s Craft Creation:</strong>I know you PM’d me about what you wanted to craft, but I would prefer for you to please post your questions within the record.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hmm, I think if the +30 craft applied, I could make a masterwork crossbow launcher in a week, which throws alchemical items 30 ft increments.  It's exotic, but -4 on a touch attack could be worth being away from an ettin.<br/><br/>Or, I'd have enough resources to make two CR 1/2 traps, like punji stakes.  Though strictly speaking a craft check of 42*DC 20=840 SP/week, needing a week just to make one (500/2[no reset]/3[crafting]*10 SP)<br/><br/>Or maybe that's too nitty gritty and I just say I set up 10 launchers in a rdsow with a string to all chuck fire at once...  Yeah, a big pile of alchemy and bomb launchers (Advanced Race Guide) is good after the glue, caltrops, and giant rock.<br/><br/>Just in case there's useful info, Anafa will gather information to see if there are any anecdotes of the ettins, like behavior, weaknesses, infighting and pressure points...<br/><br/>5+5 Diplomacy=10, meh.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>All right, I have ruled that after a week, you have created 10 bomb launchers with the help of nearly fifteen Dragon prospects.  You have emplaced these launchers as well along accessible mountain ridges.  They launcher emplacements are currently hidden.<br/><br/><br/>
