Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
So...
A. the Slip under the cart plan?
B. the secret door investigation?
C. something else?
D. it's summer, greyarea. I've got better stuff to do than to tell you the next step in exploring a dank and dark dungeon!

Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
Tor is on board with Bert's plan to slam the cart into them.
Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
The cart idea works fine, Slip or no Slip. Let's give them the cart!
Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
Slip slips under the cart, and the others hide her as well as they can with the once-white tablecloth. She knocks out a few ages-dirty plates (the bits of food don't move a bit as the china falls to the floor) and a small bowl of jam that smells like it has fermented under here. Whoever these caterers are, they are not good at clean-up.
Tor is on board with the plan and pushes the board towards the kitchen. His hands soon ache with the vibration of the cart-on-stone-floor action and Slip exits the cart before her teeth shatter in her mouth. They push the cart to the kitchen door and Slip again hides under the cart.
Fauk helps Tor slam the cart into the door. The kitchen door swings open!
Inside there are now three workers, all snout-nosed hyena-beings: one holds a tray of china (a mix of plates, bowls, and cups) which he is transporting to a sink of black water, one stands on a stool over a large pot which he stirs with a two-foot long ladle, and the third, larger than the others, is in the back, whacking away at a huge piece of meat with a giant two-handed cleaver. They are (4) not surprised, as if this is how the caterers always return to the kitchen. They all wear white chef's coats and toques.
The one holding the dirty dishes literally barks an order at you. It's in a language none of you understand.
Actions?
Trebb has Ventriloquism left as a spell. He can look menacing but that's about all he will add to any battles at this stage.
The party has entered from the south door.

Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
Bert - Priest
Bert whispers "I'm going to block that door up there." As the party enters the room, Bert holds up his hand by his ear and says "I'm sorry, fellows, I can't understand what you're saying. Those nasty little gnomes sent us for more grub, can you help us out? They said if they don't get more food and quickly they're going to come over here and start cracking heads. Dreadful little creatures they are." And Bert points toward the empty cart top as he briskly strides into the room, intent on blocking any escape from the northeast door once things get hectic.
If the Gnolls object, Bert will do his best to keep up the act, saying that the gnomes want more food. If any of the gnolls come at him, he'll grab his weapon and start bashing.

Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
Fauk will pick up a bowl or some other crockery and make his way to the soup chef. He'll make dishing motions to the chef indicating he will need a 2nd course of soup...of course. When he gets close the the soup gnoll, Fauk will push him into the pot!

Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
Once Brother Bert is in place, Tor will head directly for the large gnoll in the back with the meat cleaver, and start cleaving meat.
Re: B1.2 - Kitchen Aide
Bert strides in, confident as can be. He makes his statements as he heads to the back door.
Slip waits under the cart.
Fauk assists with Bert's subterfuge, grabbing a cracked bowl and heading to the soup guy.
Tor follows in, getting ready to take on the cleaver.
Trebb tries not to wet steels himself.
Surprise [1] the baddies are surprised.
Fauk shoves the poor hound into the stew. [14] The critter yips as it falls back into the pot! It will spend the next round de-soupifying itself.
Tor springs his trap on the scullery-maid. His blade [16, hit, dmg 10] sinks into her like a side of beef. She is badly wounded but not out.
The third yips in surprise, dropping his tub of dishes.
Slip doesn't see her moment. Yet.
