And maybe we get a chance to kill one of the saurians (sneak attack + pistol shot) or one of their mounts. But we can deal with this <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Note that first part (trap) assumes we see them some distance off. Simply say his trap didn't work (not enough time, strength or wrong timing on pulling the rope taut.[/OOC]Crossbowdwarves, shoot the big ones. Fire on the leftmost and rightmost, each unit one.. Infantry, hold for the charge! Mourgrym, would you come with me to harry archers, casters and commanders or you take command of the archers? I think your skills fit naturally here, but I would appreciate all the help. I'll be down there.""Arvana, I could use your expertise setting a little surprise for the big ones. I'll be behind the lines, harrying archers, casters or commanders. Commander, if you can spare volunteers for dangerous mission, silent as possible, maybe scouts who don't fit into infantry lines? I could cause some damage to the archers."Marius vaults the stones protecting the archers, talks shortly with infantry commander, takes a rope and waits for Arvana to come.He explains he means to set simple trip rope, but he alone will not have strength to hold it against the weight. Thus, he has one side fixed with pitons. And the other, he needs Arvana to set up pulleys or some other mechanism that will allow him to raise the rope and hold it against the cavalry. It is enough that he drops first row, others will trip over them.If she agrees, two of them disappear into the field. He spends some time looking for a place he can hide in along with whatever mechanism Arvana comes up with. He needs a boulder or several smaller stones that would be avoided by cavalry charge.Marius waits for the charge and triggers his trap with strong dragons roar (kiai), scaring the closest mounts who jump to the side a bit disrupting the smooth charge. He waits for merest of moments to gauge the effect and see first volley of the archers. He thinks he could be of better use disrupting or slowing whatever remained until cavalry and infantry can deal with this. But if big beasts remain, common infantry may have trouble with the big ones.[OOC] [MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION], don't feel obligated to follow me into action if you have something to do, I think big battle may be confusing enough that we could get separated even if we're together initially. I gave Archon an opportunity to give me some backup if you don't come with me.[/OOC]</blockquote>
