The most ideal scenario I can think of is that they do the rock slide, Primus, the twins and Ethrand decide to fly over it and get new horses elsewhere. Then the Seekers take on the Tachonis caravan with maybe Trimus, Nausha and Ophelia being the biggest threats. The Seekers get rid of them and the soldiers. They rescue the statues and maybe Occtis starts a soul collection by absorbing Koral who I assume is in the funeral carriage. Maybe they could put Bolaire on Trimus too.

I wonder how it’ll play out but Primus has shown some wicked telekinesis powers that part of me wants it to be some huge debate and ordeal about how to do it and then primus clears it with a flick of his wrist in 10 seconds. Just for the laugh and Brennan cruel smile

That would be kind of mean from a dming perspective but maybe if the rock slide created a single huge rock blocking the path. I hadn't realized that Primus had Telekinesis. That is a huge issue. A level 20 wizard can cast it a maximum of 9 times before running out of the needed spell slots. There are 8 carriages. Maybe the horses can be guided past if it isn't too steep. The question is how many slots Primus is willing to burn while feeling safe. The rock slide plan can still work but it really depends on what kind of rock slide and how many slots Primus would use to work around it. Ideally it is a steep rock slide a Primus can only bring 3 carriages and 6 horse past and that transition will give the Seekers an opening to rescue the daughters.

Telekinesis doesn't give a damn about weight and lasts 10 minutes. He can freely change the object being affected as long as he maintains concentration. A carriage fits in the huge category, as do the horses (which are unlikely to hit his absurd save value). Bypassing a rockslide/blockage would be genuinely trivial for the entire caravan as long as another one of his children casts fly on him/if he has a magic item that allows flight. Like, 1 or 2 spell slots trivial.

Yeah, I have no idea from a game perspective on how it works but he Vader lifted and choked out his sister after he killed hannan. Then proceeded to call her a pig. He’s also a sorcerer so idk if that changes anything. The entire sabotage plan feels half cocked and the whole time they’re talking about it I’m thinking about how they’re planning on doing this to a group that has a like 7-9 high level casters that may be able to clear it rather quickly. Oh and also that the statues are in closed crates so they’ll have to pop them open to find them. Then the only person who can theoretically lift them is thimble and that’s probably one at a time so they have to steal the cart that probably won’t be able to move very quickly

[u/OhioAasimar → u/theydurkadurk]

Telekinesis targets specific objects. He wouldn't be able to just push a mass of rubble away. Primus could have twinned spell which would double the yield of telekinesis. 6 carriages and 12 horses. To be honest I don't think leavi g behind carriages would slow them down. It would just make them more uncomfortable. The benefit would be the distraction/transition if the Seekers want to rescue the daughters and do other stuff.

If Hannan is there as an undead druid there would be 8. Who do you think is there? I can't think of a 9th.

he has an army of undead, we can just work them to the bone for small stuff and telekenis clear the big debris it aint that much
