I'd try it with Lan, but Lan's a little crazy. :)

I agree it's neither an in-character, nor out of character good idea. Even the bringing a familiar in and trying to foul up the goblin's stew would only be a few rolls to see if we succeed, wait a bit, then the party jumps into action now with [maybe] a slightly better chance to prevail. A person splitting off entirely would be problematic, I'd think.

We wouldn't need tobsplit off far. His illusion magic is concentration based of course, and these are only goblins. Sliding boulder disguise anyone?

Kiaras main thought process consistent with her job would be sneak in and sneak the prisoners out without anyone being the wiser but if thats not possible shes not above basically killing everything in the cave that isnt the prisoners or her friends

Mea Culpa, I meant Goblin.

Nope, they won't. ;)

As for the restraints used, that'd be ropes. Of course they'd not be tied well given the ruse so getting out of them wouldn't be an issue.

One of the other goblins noticing how badly they are tied is another matter entirely.

So yeah, I vote we either send Kreech in with a familiar for the stew pot and he adds mushrooms to give them all bowel distress, or we bypass Kreech altogether and send a familiar down the chimney with a sack of bad mushrooms to attempt the same. Slightly better chance of success if Kreech can be in the kitchens as a distraction (maybe send him in with Beaker as Kai flies down the chimney with the payload). Maybe Beaker gets loose and leads the goblins on a merry chase, hurling insults at them. Anne and Lan can narrate what's happening to the others.

I'm with Flynn on this one. I thought that the idea was to have a familiar remote drone be driven into the caverns, do some spying and perhaps drop a payload. While I think that something other than a bird would be more useful, not going to push that one too hard.

"Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal."

"While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses."

and perhaps: "Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll."

Edit: that is also why I/Jack asked about how much was on top of the cavern, so that we could maybe optimize the area of the cavern covered by the 100 ft sphere.

To be honest, we probably are just overyhibking things here. These are, in all honesty, just goblins. Hust the familiar is fine.

I wouldn't have a familiar to risk so I'm going to leave it to those who do to offer theirs. I know it costs to recast Find Familiar if it dies.

Abigail would totally give Guidance and a bardic inspiration to the familiar.
