Well, we can just not play...Archon said:
But, if playing without people is going to stop us it may be the middle of april before we play in this campaign again...lots of people going to be gone in the next little while. Ugh.
I was under the impression that we wanted to play if at all possible. If we'd rather wait, there is always stuff to do.
Greg--if they're doing girl stuff saturday night, will that work? Otherwise, I'll have Arfin and L'Aurel say that they need to retrieve the Duke's body (before they can raise him as one of their unholy minions) and then we'll play out that stuff next week when you are less busy.
Keep me posted!

Now I'M BORED! Thanks Gertie! It's spreading!
I have attached another file for your viewing pleasure. This time, it's a word file. Military Ranks in the Falcon Kingdom. Have a look--the Army ranks also give you an idea of what various units are called, and how big they are.
On another note, today (March 4th) was DM's Day! Everybody, give me a present!
(really--it was DM's day...I didn't make it up...look elsewhere on the boards!)

More Planning!
Okay having taken comments etc into account, I just have a few comments:
1) The plan is not for us to use the main thoroughfares (though Gertie's right, those do make it difficult to set up effective roadblocks etc). Rather we travel through the more urban areas, in which there are streets if I recall not only the map but a previous discussion about Oceanus. Those will be ideal for hit and runs, which is about all we want to do until we either gather sufficient force or come into possession of one hell of a position (unlikely until we hit Khaz Modan, if we go that way).
2) Warning about the Duke's Palace, aside, most of those objectives are mainly useful as waypoints, as well as places where we may be able to get help. Naturally, if there's something in the city making things difficult, this plan could get blown to hell in no time. In any event, they do serve as useful points in case someone gets separated, as well as simply having a movement plan through the city. If stuff goes to hell, we might consider setting secondary points as well, but I don't know if we have all that much time. They do give us a pretty regular path out of the city, however. I'm hesitant about the Centurion's Forest as it would be difficult to hold without many more forces, but it may be a better waypoint than the Palace.
3) If there's a stand it will only be at the very end. Everything else is going to a movement action. Waypoints may be a place where we spend more than one round (so long as 3, even), to regroup, check out the situation, offer guidance to nearby soldiers, acquire help. As in all things guerrilla this entire plan hinges on speed and stealth and not lingering anywhere for very long. We're not trying to defeat the army, simply harry it.
4) A lot of this depends on how the Horde attacks. If they just swarm into the city every which way, we'll be retreating hard and fast. If they concentrate on pockets of resistance before moving on, we may have more opportunities to go after them before retreating. If they muster along the docks before heading in, we'll have similar opportunities. Under those circumstances, the goal would be to harry them, hopefully get them to send a small force, that we can take down with appropriate tactics. The danger, of course, is that we get tied down somewhere and the enemy advance beyond us, essentially cutting us off from escape, or else forcing us to fight through/stealth our way out.
Finally, we're in a tough spot, so our conditions for victory will have to be living to fight another day. If we can take a few bad guys down, too, that'll be great.

Out of Game: My thoughts on Saturday.
If that is the case, I'm fine with playing... if we are short two people, I don't want to play without them...
I know Kennon really wants to play... but, even he said last weekend, if we're missing two or more that we should not play..
So, yep...
See Jeremiah and Mik tonight!!

Why don't we say this: come over saturday afternoon around 4:30, bring your DnD stuff, and Star Wars stuff if you have it. That way, all our options are open. We can do one of those things, or something else entirely...whatever people want to do.
Liz is right--I REALLY want to play this weekend. But, as I have said, I'll let the majority rule, here.

Laurel's suicide mission
_________________________________________________________
After hearing the proclamation of the Archonus Bluestar, and the beginings of a plan..... Laurel looks to here two eagles and tries to ask them if they would stay/leave/or go with her firends... she will not sacrifice another without a choice (Kennon and I can decide later what they choose). L'Aurel then looks quickly around the circle and states clearly, "I must still get the Duke's body, as I have failed him yet again. Greyclaw was taken, and I will not see his body and mind defiled by this filth. His death was not as it should have been.... Your plan is starting to sound good, and I shall try to meet up with you at __________ for the last stand (Kennon and I will also decide how much of the plan I hear). The survival of all these people is more dire then the Duke's, so I shall warn those that I can, once I have his body. I shall have to use stealth to retrieve his body. If we are split up till the battle ends good or bad should I suceed I shall send word to you- it will have the claw of the duke's symbol holding a laurel leaf. Thus you will know the message came from me, and I have the duke."
Looking to Archonus, "I can track all of you as a group easier no matter the outcome here today, and the citadel refuge is still my goal. You can do much better by staying with them, as this is most likely a suicide mission, but I must go alone.... Please... protect them as you can."
Smiling to each in turn, and trying to bolster thier confidence, "We have been through alot and can get through this as well, remember you each have strengths and waeknessess use all of these as weapons." She then simply nods, and feeling uncomfortable with this odd feeling of sorrow at the parting she pulls her hood up "Till we meet again, friends." Then truns into the streets.
Okay I think Greg is going to make it tonight for gaming,a nd Kennon knows basically what I want to do- I wrote this quickly so you guys can adjust this part to what is happening in game, or Kennon change it so it fits betterThe_Universe said:
