[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 731865, member: 6533"] I don't think so. We have developed a lot of interesting setting ideas in this thought game. We need someone to write up what the Cressian force would consist of. I'm pretty certain that the initial encounter between the Ta'jinn and the Cressians would go to the Cressians. Let's say the Stempan conflict has left a village guarding an important supply line largely undefended. The village itself has very few fortifications. Basically a tower from which to watch the fields, some fences around homes, a few basements, and secret paths out of the town and into the hills. The Cressians and Ta'jinn have independently scouted the village and decided that a small force should secure the place and use it to watch and harrass supply shipments. The Ta'jinn arrive first with a force of three groups, two centaur light cavalry, a group of medium infantry, and their staff. Officers and staff are standard but for a signal corps that sends up smoke signals now and again to communicate with griffin scouts who fly overhead, and a very small group of ten of their better scouts who watch the route in sets of two over all hours. There is a cleric and two low level wizards in the group. They use the medium infantry to reinforce the town's meager fortifications, begin watching the route, and keep a group of centaurs alert and on patrol throughout the day and another group at camp. Both are prepared to respond to reports of vulnerable caravans and are very familiar with all the routes through the local terrain that they are capable of using. [/QUOTE]
