[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5099375, member: 40177"] Abigail follows Dante, trailing only a few feet behind. As she moves, oblivious to the shifting shadows around her, she adjusts and relocates her daggers, keeping one on her sleeve, and one on her belt to counterweight the short blade on her left. The plain scabbarded longsword is slung over her shoulder, like some would carry a backpack, with one strap. She puts her hair back in simple manner, part ponytail and part braid, held in part with long hairpins she draws from a leather case. When Dante looks over for a moment, he realizes they are thieves' tools. Abigail catches Dante looking, and grins impishly. [color=orange]"Always keep a set near at hand, right?"[/color] Abigail says. [color=orange]"Course, problem then is, when you need a good pick, your hair starts going every which way..."[/color] As she plays with her hair, Azuras remains perched on her shoulder, surveying the land around like a meercat looking over its domain. Every few minutes, though, the dragonling's attention begins to drift towards the devil lizard... and then snaps back to the cause at hand. Abigail digs in her pockets and throws a few peanuts in the air, which the dragonling snaps at when they reach the arc of their flight. Each peanut, the dragonling makes a grimacing gesture, but this doesn't stop him from grabbing at the next to fly up. [color=orange]"So... "[/color] Abigail says, softly. [color=orange]"Do we have a plan? Or are we just going to go knock on the front door?"[/color] [sblock=Some thoughts] Alright. I think it might be time to look at some of the major party roles. Who is going to be the minion-popper? Who will focus on the big bads, and who fights on the periphery? I really think both Eraden and Talks to the Moon need to keep an eye on party health, since neither can do much more than "you spend a healing surge" with a small bonus. Here's what I was thinking: Abigail will act as a minion-popper, by running into the thick of things. Dante and Abigail will try to fight on the periphery, while others fight the big bads. Alastair and Eraden will be the primary "big bad" fighters, with Dante or Abigail (preferably Dante, since he'll do more damage) jumping in if needed. Talks to the Moon, of course, will do everything to keep us alive and kicking and fighting at peak performance. Not trying to step in and be bossy, of course... I just think it might be good to have a standard operating procedure in place so that we don't all just jump into the fray willy-nilly.
