Hollow's Last Hope [OOC]

[YeOldeAlbatross]

So, before I take you further into the woods, I'll need a marching order from you (including Hakkara's pony).

No reason, just asking...

 

[Insight]

Hakkara would prefer to be in front, but if we have a scouting type, Hakkara will defer the lead. So, unless someone objects, Hakkara + Pony would be the front of the wedge marching order

King Leonidas shouts from the front "Delta formation!"

Loricallior has good spotting skills but no sneaking or melee abilities, so I'm happy to be anywhere.

Hmm, Jebbo has some decent melee ability, but no real perception skills. I'd probably be somewhere around the vanguard. Maybe Loricallior could do the watching for the rear, and if necessary, Jebbo could do the defending if something pops up! He can nail something up to 50 feet away with those daggers, so that's something. Either way, I think that Hakkara should DEFINITELY be in front. Maybe something like this?...

1. Hakkara (most melee-capable)
2. Jared (also melee-capable)
3. Pony (middle so we can protect supplies)
4. Loricallior (good perception, to protect pony and supplies)
5. Cyryn (good perception skills, OK melee)
6. Jebbo (decent melee)

As an alternative watch schedule, I'd like to suggest the following:
1st watch - Hakkara
2nd watch - Cyryn & Jebbo
3rd watch - Loricallior & Jared

or
1: Hakkara
2: Loricallior & Cyryn
3: Jebbo & Jared

My reasoning being:
5 watches is too many. Also, if a single sentry is silenced, everyone is screwed.
Days are longer so fewer hours to cover at night
Someone may not turn in right away so Hakkara might have some aid during the first watch
The PCs with low-light vision cover the darkest periods of the night
Allows Jared to spend the last part of his watch preparing his daily spells

Opinions?


As to the marching order, Cyryn can double as a decent scout so I can be moved out to the front as needed. He's definitely not a front-line fighter, however.

 

[Insight]

I have no opinion on the "marching order" other than to point out that, since we are outdoors, there's no good reason for us to be single file. We can spread out pretty far if we want. That said, someone should take point, and the sneaky folks are best suited for that duty.

 

[hero4hire]

I assume Jared and Jebbo will be often towards the rear as they are the slowest walkers. Besides point, unless we get into a dungeon I dont see a need for a rigid marching order.
