[QUOTE="Carebear2326, post: 1213286, member: 15151"] [b]Reply[/b] That is true, though last night I admit now that I could have at least stuck around for longer & maybe made sure that each character had a way to escape be it by help from another party member or if they could on their own. That for me was just an inexperienced player split second decision & I am totally willing to admit when I make the wrong decision. That is also true, though my characters feeling is that she would rather be a coward & still live than be corageous & dead. After all, who would tell the tales if I am dead? That could possibly be somewhat true. I do try not to think of him as a husband when I am playing though. We have even played characters in a campaign before where my character hated his. I am just trying to base it on the facts. Bucky has been suggesting a non-frontal assault on the keep for a while & I am realizing after the first time that our first attempt at a full on hack & slash assault didn't work at all, which Bucky had tried to explain that it wouldn't work very well from the begining.

My character may not like Bucky's personality at all, but has seen with experience that he does have great ideas for tactics in general, so tends to ask him his ideas for tactics.
