[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5920540, member: 29558"] [sblock=OOC]OK, since we're talking OOC, here's Liath's thinking: There are exactly TWO people in this party who've ever actually seen these "sword marks" that are supposed to point us in the right direction. There are also exactly TWO hallways down which we're NOT sure there are Hellknights (they [I]are[/I] behind us in the west hall, and she [I]saw[/I] two of them head off down the south hall). So she split the group in two, putting one of the folks who know what they're looking for in each party along with two others to protect them. She didn't think about them not being able to see, but they're big boys and girls and are perfectly capable of lighting a torch, sunrod, or a light spell if they need to. Janiven's proposal was that they go just to the first turn, and Liath didn't suggest anything different, so it's not like they're going far. There's no use trying [I]too[/I] hard to be sneaky here - not only do we have particularly un-sneaky sorts wearing full on metal armor with us, the HellKnights already know we're here. Or at least they know we're in the sewers, have a last known location and know what direction we went from there. So she's thinking that our best bet is to locate the marks quickly and GET MOVING. Whichever of the two (Janiven or the kid) finds the mark will whistle and everyone else can move to them. If we make that happen before the HellKnights behind us actually catch up they won't have any way of knowing which of the two Northern hallways we've gone down. But if we stand here playing with our tallywhackers (or whatever passes for such on those of us who are womenfolk) and trying to decide which of us is smarter than all the others, we'll still be doing that when those HellKnights behind us finally make it into this room and we'll have the full on fight some of us are looking for. Liath's understanding from Janiven is that we're supposed to avoid doing anything that will get us identified and branded publicly as dissenters, so she's trying to avoid a fight with the enforcers of the law in Cheliax (that'd be the HellKnights, for those who are confused). However, [I]if[/I] we get into said fight we'll be needing to kill 'em all (and let Pharasma sort 'em out).[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
