[sblock=tactix]Option 1: Get to the archers as fast as possible. Alex uses Tide of Iron to get S1 out of the way. Say, Z13. Quagmire, Hrav, and Beryk all charge A1, eating OAs, and the ranged strikers focus on him too. Goal is to drop one of the archers before he can hit us again.
Option 2: Kill S2 so we can get up there safely. Alex and Quagmire delay. Hrav goes and stabs S2. Quagmire goes adjacent and uses commander's strike to give Hrav another attack. Hopefully this kills S2, and Alex can charge A2 and mark him. (variant: Quagmire goes up the stairs first and uses Warlord's favor on S2 to give a damage bonus, and Hrav and Beryk use ranged weapons to try to clear the way for Alex's charge.)
Option 2 provokes fewer OAs, but seems less certain of shutting down an archer this turn. Still, I think I'm leaning that way... Thoughts? Other options?
