IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 2

[Leif]

it's been edited, Rogash. Did I do better this time?

I'm good with whatever, though I would think Talashia might want something more internal (and thus insulated from rear attacks). Shai and Dys were taking rear guard before, so I'd be cool with doing that again if necessary.

Umm, I'm not seeing things and you do have Buurt on their twice, right?
Also, I definitely think Rogash and Buurt in front is best, with Buurt maybe being an outrunning, due to his improved speed rating.
Also, Buurt will use that improve speed to allow him to come close to a "normal" party movement, when he checks for traps and the ilk while on point.

Actually, what I intended for the first arrangement was for Buurt to be out front much of the time to scout and check for traps, but when we would go into harm's way I was thinking that we could part like the Red Sea to allow Buurt to slide through us to the rear where he'd be nice and safe. (After all, our record for protecting your characters is not all that great, is it?) But, anyway, as you can now see, this idea has fallen by the wayside anyway, and the previous post has been edited. See if it's any better for you, ok?

Got 'er done, Jason. And here's another copy of the order:

Buurt Rogash
Caerwyn Rokelsh
Uulark Talashia
Dyspeer Shaimon Hu'u

it's also in #408,fyi

This is all well and good after you get into the room, but you've got to enter the area one at a time, since the main entrance is only wide enough for one person.

Seems like it'd make sense for Rogash to go first, both because of his abilities and because he knows the area. Buurt would obviously want to go at least second so that he'd be in front to take advantage of his skirmishing ability. Dyspeer has proved time and again (and don't think I haven't noticed ) to be every bit as useful as a PC, if not more so in some cases; I couldn't think of a better pair than he and Shai to take up the rear. That leaves the other three meatshields to cover the lovely Talishia in the middle... wouldn't want her getting dirty, afterall.

But that's just one humble DM's opinion--I'll be ready when you are. Very, very ready...

OOC: The new layout works for Rogash.

 

[Leif]

I think the so-called "new layout", see # 414 & 408 is exactly the same as we had it arranged before with one obvious change. *sigh, snif! wipe, wipe.*

*grins*

Works for me, damn good idea, too, as Buurt is a range slayer who can do face to face, as needed.

So... we've got our marching order set, and we're going down the stairs, which lead into a "familiar room", and there are more stairs leading down. Do we go down further, or is what we are looking for on this level? Does THIS qualify as OOC?
