[QUOTE="Jairami, post: 109920, member: 1148"] Ah the joys of low level gaming. You think an encounter will go one way... Twenty-one men faced four, and while they did down three, one got away to bring back help. Already demoralized beyond description at watching their captain taken down before they could even reach them by creatures none of them had ever seen, plus watching each man account for four of theirs, when Caema ordered two men to drag the Captain back to the ship, the 3 men left looked to the inn, looked at each other, and were about to break and run when Caema got them to grab other wounded and take them back too. He was about to lose his captain and his crew and even if two people came back he wasn't sure he could take them if they were like the first four. All of this coupled with his own strong urge to run made the fact that there was at least one healing potion that he knew of on the ship the smartest decision a retreat. At least so far as his own cowardice was concerned. I know I'm forgetting the details of how it came about, but every session has so many details and occurences (stretched over 10-12 hours) that I'm mainly highlighting events. Once I catch up to what we did Saturday, things will make much more sense from then on. Consider this the cliff notes prequel to the main event. :) [/QUOTE]
