[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 3385357, member: 34958"] I just wanted to take the time to briefly summarize where your forces stand right now. Barok has currently found the main camp of the orcs on a hill. There is a war chief that he can see, surrounded by about a dozen fellow warriors, some looking like mere ambitious bootlicks, but the rest seasoned veterans. There is also an older shaman near the war chief and two adepts. There are also numerous servants and camp followers. It is unlikely that Barok and a group of a couple dozen kobolds can mount a serious direct attack against these orcs. He does have enough tree and brush cover to get these two dozen kobolds into attack positions, along with fire starting equipment. They can easily hit outlying tents and supply wagons, though maybe not the group of orc commanders, and get out safely. Barok never did buy or recover healing potions. Ventus, Nikolos, and Danica are still fighting in the center of the town, but they had to pull back to their interior defenses once they attempted a counter-attack. This isn't to say that the counter-attack did badly. In fact, it did quite well in damaging the invaders, but the orcs outnumbered them too heavily and they had to pull back to a more defensible position. They were able to fall back without heavy casualties. There are still about 500 fighting men and roughly 200 civilians hiding within the buildings in the center. Although they could break out and drive to the southern defenses, it may be tricky to defend the civilians. Caramip, Dartis, and Silas have joined up and have about 60 militia members ready to fight, 10 horsed archers, and a couple hundred civilians that picked up weapons from the fallen. There are also 1800 civilians they are still protecting. With such a small armed force, it is unlikely that they will be able to make it into the center of the town with all the civilians in tow. To break the encircling line of invaders, most of the forces would have to be put at the head of the column, which would leave the trailing civilians unprotected on the flanks. Another idea would be to leave the civilians behind and take a token force to harrass the encircling orcs to relieve pressure from the central defenders. You guys have done surprisingly well so far, despite my attempts to up the level of challenge that I threw at you. I'm enjoying the ideas you've come up with so far to beat off my offensive to take out the Dorinthians. [/QUOTE]
