How do I get the idol without a timing trick?


But that seems like taking advantage of mechanics rather than a proper five finger discount. But the other stuff has all been cut off -- mist, darkness, "throw it down out of their view". I haven't tried greater invis, but that spell usually isn't available that early. These all used to work "according to the Internet", but I'm guessing were shut down as exploits.

So...is there a proper thievy way? Just yes or no, I don't want a spoiler.



Ironic, the one time I did PnP D&D at a hotel "convention", they stole a silver platter mid-party, by being the amusement and juggling it right out the door. Computer games, no matter how clever, cannot handle human innovation with a DM sitting there and dice on the table for success.

As far as I can tell... No.

One of the Druids has Truesight so invis/mist/darkness doesn't work.

Moving it at all, makes them run towards it.

There doesn't appear to be a way to get it without abusing teleporting to camp.

That said, there is a less timing dependent way of doing it:

Man that D&D session I remember more now. We were given a task of stealing 4 or 5 things, no fighting allowed. I had rolled a dwarf fighter with a big axe. Well, you know.

Anyway, my group had interrogated a waiter somewhere, and needed to knock him out. I used the flat of my ax but rolled a 14 damage, yowch! Old school D&D civilians are more or less level 0 and have something like 4 hp. The DM was cool and let the guy just be knocked out instead of his head flying through a wall.

So went the complete participation of a stupid fighter in such a mini-module.
