[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 1157368, member: 994"] It does. We have different viewpoints on the situation which makes it difficult for you to be objective, I think. The trend, even in your descriptions, gets more organized and more strategically disciplined. You have the benefit of knowing why they stayed each round or turned and ran. I, OTOH, see their resolve strengthening over all 9 encounters until, this last time, we had them outnumbered, cornered, and overwhelmed...and they STILL didn't give up when pressed, OR try to flee. I'm more concerned about why they agreed to be placed in those dead-end passages to begin with, without at least some reassurance of a back door or plan for retreat (after all, even the goblins in the tower had those elven ropes to use, even if they were to stupid to use them earlier in the battle, but then, [u]their[/u] leader was the last one standing, not one of the first to fall as was the case this last time). Something has their backs up, and I would understand if that something is present and therefore more threatening than we are. That's how leadership through fear works. But if that's what's going on, we're not seeing it. We're there, in front of them. We're killing their comrades and taking down their leader. They're trapped. Continuing to fight under those circumstances seems outright heroic to me, and not something Garret expects from what he understands about goblins. YMMV. ;) [/QUOTE]
