Crossed Paths - OOC

[Manzanita]

Besides encumbrance, how would one carry a long spear, if not in his hands?

 

[Krilith]

Wow! we have an OOC thread?!!

I am happy with both presented marching orders. In character I asked Marcus up front, but Brioc is welcome to smash along beside me.
for what Manzanita said about the weaker fysical ones in the back, it would seem logical to make that decision.

So if i had to choose about the marching order, i'd go with the one manzanita had. it's a 10" corridor, you could run towards the melee fast enough.

and the decision who's caller, i don't realy mind, but as a player it would be nice to be able to make such a decision once in a time...

Like it or not, Brioc is the leader (sorry Jarvel) .So he calls. If you disagree with his decision, say something. But regardless, post up to say you've read it.

ie Marcus, impressed with their leader's great wisdom, nods vigorously in agreement.

Got it?

Er, ... how's that. Is it OK? Too strong? I can change it if you like ...

BTW, good question about the spear. Wondered that myself sometimes.

 

[Manzanita]

OK. I didn't mean to kill of any diaglogue in the IC thread. Feel free to post consensus-seeking replies, or whatever. My suggestion was a general one. Just something to think about.

 

[Thels]

Heh, even though Dhormuin's a Cleric, he's pretty fighterbased, so he should be able to hold his own at the front of the party.

Btw, who's playing him nowadays?

To be honest, I'm always a little worried about issuing orders. I don't want anyone to think that I'm controlling their character, but I'm happy to call the marching order if that's alright with everyone else?


My favoured marching order would be (from front to back):

Dhormium (darkvision) & Brioc (good Spot and Listen skills)
Marcus (Lantern bearer) & Wolf (following Brioc)
Ehldannis (always put the wizard in the middle )
Tullius (still not entirely trusted, so put somewhere we can keep an eye on him...)
Mendicus (keeping an eye on Tullius )
Octar (watching all our backs)

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Jawol! (Octar will, generally speaking, do what Brioc asks him to and actively seek his guidance.)

 

[doghead]

Sorted.

Don't worry Jarval, I don't think any of us will let your ego get out of hand

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

As to longspear- unsure of precise mechanic, but I've seen enough pictures of warriors with sword and shield and hand and spear on their back. It's probably in a harder place to draw than move-action, but I think it can be done (like a longbow).

 

[Manzanita]

Not feeling left out, are you, Thels? I'd be happy to try to work you back into the script.

Jarval, did you want Ehldannis and Tullius side by side, with Octar and Mendicus side by side behind them, or these four single file?
