Arabesu's Eyes of the Lich Queen, w/ Boons! - OOC

[Douane]

Good grief, don't feel afraid to post your thoughts, people! :\ I can't possibly be the only one who looks at how a battle is going!

What if we don't have anything important to add?


Seriously, it's good to see we have so many tactically-minded chacters (and players) but Saris won't be one of them. He acts and fights on instinct.

Int 18, just trying to keep myself in the mindset

Since presumably we all know one another already, I'm going to go back and look at char descriptions - not for physical descriptions, but for personalities.

Personality? Saris doesn't have any. In fact, if CHA is indeed measuring one's force of personality Rosapila should probably be talking to his bow, instead.

We can have one of the stealthy characters see if the failed ambush alerts any other lizardfolk. If not we may still be able to maintain some level of stealth. I don't want the entire tribe swarming down on us!

Oh, I have spells for the situation. I'm just not sure we're going to have enough time left to use them properly. :\

Maybe we can make a tactical retreat? Re-Group and sneak back?

The way I played Rosa, she considered but discarded the idea.

This was due to:
1. the difficulty of communicating with allies without letting the enemy know
2. the certainty that we would be pursued by the enemies if we fell back (based on what she could hear)
3. the fact that we should be able to kill these guys (since we outnumber them) and have fewer enemies to worry about later.

In a worst-case scenario we'd be fleeing from an army of lizardmen, in which case we'd be reduced to engaging individual patrols to deplete their numbers, then fleeing. Which is pretty much what we're doing now. Only, if we win, the enemy won't know if there are 2 of us or 200.

(For an int 18 tactical mage, this is probably crude thinking, but that's what you get when she's making quick decisions in the middle of combat. )

I'm losing track a bit. Where are we now? Round 2? (After Saris got in on round 1 ?)

 

[renau1g]

I believe we just concluded round 2 as Fenwick & Rosa had very low init. I think it might be Saris' turn now as we move back to the top of initiative.

Also, Fenwick doesn't speak draconic, ironically, but he does speak elven. Good call Moritheil.

Saris 25
Faris init 19
Hightower init 16
The others (still out of sight until they go...) init 15
Trent init 14
Rosapila init 11
Fenwick init 11
Rattlesnake init 10

Rosa and Fenwick just went (Rosa has acted 3 times: once in surprise, round 1, and now round 2.) The rattlesnake is dead. Thus, round 3 begins.

Also, Fenwick doesn't speak draconic, ironically, but he does speak elven. Good call Moritheil.

Thanks. In general, I guess whoever speaks a language should shout out things based on what they hear in a situation like this. That bit of Gnomish was for Fenwick, of course.


Incidentally, I think it hilarious that Fenwick's idea is to scare off the archers, but Rosa, fearing they will return with an army, wants the opposite. Too bad she's silenced right now!
