Maybe she can't, but she knows a man who can...

Hah, bet you guys wish you'd bought those inixes now!

I can Invis people at 5 power a person.

Between Arriha and Grykee using Missive, our eyes in the air can communicate with our ground troops.

Not sure what Clerical spells you guys have exactly (not much of a Divine Magics player...), but concealing spells might be handy.

Speak up with any tactics tips, I figure our group should be atleast a semi-oiled machine by this time...

For combat where we are 'prepared':
I figure it as a few move in, say Ursus (Mr. Sneaky) and Garak(Invisible). Arriha in the sky for close air support, Grykee and Ristu following with distance 'magics'. Uden can either go in with the advance team, or hang back a moment as 'reinforcements'. He is fast enough to close a few hundred feet in a round or two...

It might be better having Uden in the advance party - Garak fights from inixback, and you'd need two invisibilities to cover him and his mount. With a 50ft move, Garak is just as good a rapid-moving reinforcement as Uden, and he hits harder when he is charging anyway.

Divine casters are pretty light on concealment magic. What Garak can do well is sow confusion. The combination of an Insect Plague and the effect of his Fearsome armour should mean we can make sure we don't face the whole organised enemy at once. With summoned creatures and Giant Vermin, we can probably make sure we outnumber them when we do choose to fight.

If this is only a small patrol, however, I'd prefer not to use the higher level spells, considering there's 700 gith out there somewhere still to be dealt with.

Arriha is definitely fire support and the occasional Time hopping of any trouble making low will save types. It takes a couple of rounds for her to power up, so she has to start rather quick - probably as soon as the word is give nto deal with the patrol . . . assuming its trouble.

So, how far away is the gith from me before I start my round?

100 feet horizontally, and another 60 vertically, so 120 total.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll work on my reply at once.

Added some humor and a running joke regarding the alchemist's fire for Garak's oil spray. Hope you don't mind. I figure there are some things like that that go on in a group of adventurers like us. And it is in a light hearted spirit.

Works for me. I was going to start a running joke about Ursus never saying anything...
