[QUOTE="Tzarevitch, post: 1633022, member: 1792"] Honestly, I don't think you did all that badly. The ambush on the rope bridge is a classic and at low levels it is very difficult to deal with. The key as you said is group communication. ASAP you as a group need to decide to fight or flee. If you decide to flee, EVERYONE flees. If you decide to fight, you need to quickly decide WHERE to fight. Never, NEVER fight on the bridge unless you can be sure you can't fall. Your close combattants (the fighter, the ranger and possibly the rogue) need to rush across the bridge ASAP or stay on the near side and use missile weapons with the sorcerer using his spells. Again, do not fight on the bridge. Personally, in that situation I would've immediately given up ground and retreated off of the bridge to the near side unless I was sure that my melee combattants could make it safely to the far side. At that point I would've hunkered down for a missile duel or simply retreated. Take cover and let the enemy come to you if he wants to fight you, and let him fight you in a place of YOUR choosing. If necessary, wait out the fog cloud while under cover. I don't believe in charging into an area where visibility is poor and the terrain is unfavorable wihtout any way of knowing what you are facing. At low levels that can be suicidal. By the way, what spells did the sorcerer have? Tzarevitch [/QUOTE]
