(Adventure) Immortality Awakens (Knight Otu Judging)

(OOC: Okey dokey--You can buy anything you like, and when everyone is done, we'll start the journey )

"Good luck!" Alyx calls out after the adventurers, "Please keep yourselves safe and don't hurt yourselves for my sake, my guardian angels."

 

[Bront]

"Aye, you take care lass" Cade says to Alyx.

"We should meet in town square in about an hour then" Cade says.

Cade is ready to go, so when everyone is ready to leave, he simply gathers his things and waits in the town square. He gives Alton a last brush for good mesure, hopefully to help him deal with the heat. "This should be an interesting adventure my friend."

ooc: we shouldn't move to the inn thread. We're already in the adventure one. Let's just purchase on the way out of town.

Somac: Male Human Bbn 3

Somac quickly purchases a greatsword, then runs to the square to meet with the others. Once everyone is assembled, he feels a great sense of freedom and anticipation.

"Ah, to be back on the open road again!" he exclaims with a great smile. "Lead on, arcanist!"

ooc: we shouldn't move to the inn thread. We're already in the adventure one. Let's just purchase on the way out of town.

ooc: He didn't mean the Inn thread. We can roleplay being in the Inn or in front of the Inn from any thread -- it's all specific to this game anyway.

After checking his equipment, Anton makes his way to the square. "We are ready to leave now?"

 

[Bront]

"I've been thinkin' 'bout da trip." Cade says. "Training with the outriders, I've learned a lot 'bout formations and such. I think I got a few good ideas 'n how we should be lined up."

OOC:
Party members:
Cade Level 1 Halfling Fighter
Anton Level 1 Human Ranger
Somac Level 3 Human Barbarian
Tandi Level 1 Human Monk
Rillian Level 2 Human Rogue/Fighter
Scun Level 2 Half-orc Barbarian/Cleric
Dagummit Level 1 Dwarf Fighter
A'jardin Level 1 Human Wizard


Proposed Marching order

Single File:
Somac
Cade (Followed by or Riding Alton)
Rillian
Tandi
Ajardin
Anton
Dagummit
Scun

Reasoning: Somac is the best fighter and has the most HP (I'm assuming based on level and class here, but still), so should be at the front. Cade on his Dog is built to charge into combat, so should be near the front to be able to do so, and he has a reach weapon. Rillian, being a warrior and rogue, can fight as well as notice things. Tandi and Ajardin in the middle. Anton is good with a bow, so can hang back a bit. Dagummit and Scun help keep the rear safe, and hopefully keeps Scun available to heal and/or replace in combat, and possibly cast a prep spell or two first.

Double File:
Somac Rillian
Tandi Cade (Followed by or Riding Alton)
Ajardin Anton
Scun Dagummit

Reasoning: Similar to what I mentioned before in the 1 by. Except now, Rillian is also in front to help spot things. Tandi moves up and Anton moves back a bit to allow for Anton's usefullness with a bow, and Tandi can still be effective in combat. Scun and Dagummit still in back to keep us safe.

Later, when we get a wagon, we can either stick the wagon between the second and third row, or ride the second and third rows outside the wagon and have it be more literaly in the middle.

I'm open to any thoughts or suggestions. Cade is a halfling riding a dog, so on the dog he's as big as a normal human as far as how many squares he takes up.

Anton considers Cade's proposal. "A straight line is not always a good idea."

ooc: I'd like to adjust it a bit -- we call that the 'Lightning Bolt Us Formation'. Sometimes necessary, but when given the space I've always prefered something more like...

Single "File":
Somac
                Rillian
        Cade
                Tandi
        Ajardin
        Anton
Dagummit
                Scun

Note I also swapped Rillian and Cade in this list because now that person 2 isn't in person 3's way, either of them can charge. Also, given that Cade is on a mount, he moves faster anyway.

Other than that, I like the plan.

I had a reply written earlier but my cable modem has been experencing technical difficulties...

Tandi nods as the group moves towards the outdoors. Before she leaves, she takes a quick look at Alyx. "You have my promise dear girl." Outside, she gladly gives up her five gold pieces to the fund for preparing for their journey. "I myself am prepared to leave as soon as you all are." She then goes to the town center and begins to meditate, waiting for her new companions.

OOC: Note to self: Take out 5gp from money.

Somac: Male Human Bbn 3

Heading in the direction indicated by the ring-wearer, Somac sets off with the others. As he gets to know his new companions, he starts to feel somewhat protective of them. While he is by no means a seasoned veteran, he does have a little more experience than many of them. While this doesn't really make him any wiser or give him too much insight into making decisions, it does mean he can take a hit without so much danger of dying right away. As they travel, he naturally makes his way to the front, hoping that any danger will have to come through him first.
