[QUOTE="Dragonwriter, post: 5213223, member: 54988"] Jareth leaves the ransacked armory with a short nod to the soldiers, and a scowl on his face as he turns and goes back to his room. He paces for several minutes, quietly speaking to himself in a rapidfire, irritated tone. [color=crimson]“Ill-equipped, undertrained, inexperienced. Lessened formation possibilities,”[/color] and similar things are contained in his low tirade. He calms down enough after venting to sit and sketch out some rough ideas of how to position his group of men-at-arms, trying to remember his lessons on teamwork. Jareth had never been much for those lessons… The voice of his mentor echoes in his ears, [b]“Pay attention. When the warrior next to you has a shield, he can cover your openings,”[/b] and similar things were often a part of those teachings, despite (or perhaps due to) the fact that Jareth and Tharivol never focused on shield-work. After nearly half an hour since his inspection of the armory, Jareth is satisfied with the rough plans. After blowing on them gently to help the ink dry, he sets them on the small chair and undresses, going to sleep very quickly. His dreams would, hopefully, be less miserable tonight… [sblock=OOC] Just to jot down my formation plan (FM, make your own! ;)), I expect to station the soldiers and teammates as such: [code] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ b b b b b b b b b b b b b S S S M J S S S S S S S L [/code] _ b = Barricade (roughly, as I don’t know the exact details) S = Swordsman/Man-at-arms M = marko J = Jareth L = Lurik Idea is front rank of soldiers holds the line, with back rank supporting (Aid Another AC), and pulling wounded back/stepping into gaps. Marko and Jareth are center, being the “leader” types, as it were, with Lurik in the far back, providing archery support, a little magic (like Create Water, in case of any fires) and healing, if needed. Preferably, the healing remains on badly injured (read: Disabled/dying) to keep them from joining the corpse pile (using Cure Minor), with other spells being saved for something more like emergency purposes (Cure Light if Marko, Jareth or Lurik gets badly injured by something, or starts to falter and can’t pull back, etc.). This plan is also, of course, open to other opinions, as long as they are constructive. If you think it’s a bad idea, but don’t have a better one, don’t post. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
