08-25-06, 01:43 PM Ok I'm playing in my first evil campaign, we have:
Warrior of Darkness
Duskblade
Cleric
Druid/Master of Many forms
Wizzard x 2
Rogue

Our first goal is to completely and accurately map the good aligned city for our evil nations attack. We already blew one chance because the cleric and druid thought being evil meant being stupid. Neither of them would heal a prisoner so I could effectively torture him and get him to draw the map. this is a very powerful good nation and we can't just walk in. Any ideas on how we might achieve this? If you need any other info ask and I'll see what I can provide.

Thanks,
Dorian

So try using the skills you have, EG. why can't the druid turn in to a bird, fly over the city and then map it?

'putting in some new sewer lines, and we need a map to plan it out'
or whatever if the city doesnt have a sewer system. I don't know what the city is like.
