Message: <blockquote data-quote="vmaaxt" data-source="post: 5977201" data-attributes="member: 6696448">Aedger Beinn (Aasimar Cleric)"Mr. Vax, I don't think it's considered glorious,  or heroic, to extract a maiden from danger if you were in fact one of  the primary reasons that she was in danger in the first place. In fact,  endangering this particular maiden might be particularly dangerous for  you, if she decides to sing not of a daring recuse, but of the reasons  that rescue was needed. Not that I'm saying you'll need rescued, Ms. Damaris. Simply that Mr. Vax has grand dreams, and that these dreams would  appear to cloud his judgement sometimes. And I can understand the need for adventure. When I was much younger, I too found my legs quite restless. I sought to become more than a farmer's child. It would appear that I have succeeded, in some measures." Whispering to the dwarf, "Mr.  Hode, I've never had need of a chronicler, but then again, I've never  had someone look unfavorably upon me when some of gold made it into  their pockets."[sblock=ooc]I may be putting the cart before the horse here, but I thought we might  as well get marching order and such out of the way, so we're not  tripping over it later. Here is my proposal, and thoughts behind it.1 wide:Dickens Hode Vax Damaris Aedger BlueDickens is short, so Hode can look over him, Vax maybe over Hode.  Dickens has Low-light vision, Hode has Darkvision, both with decent  perception. Damaris probably able to shoot once Vax has closed with  enemy. Aedger and Blue both have Darkvision, and bring up the rear.  Disadvantage: Damaris maybe not able to shoot over 3 in front, puts  Cleric at back of party, away from touch range, (Of both party and  enemies) and I have no ranged heals.2 wide:Dickens.Vax Hode....Aedger Damaris.BlueKeeps LL/DVs able to see both front and back, Damaris has shots over  Hode, Vax has charge, Aedger has touch on everybody, Blue watches the  rear.3 wide (if necessary/wanted)Hode.Dickens.Vax Blue.Aedger..DamarisMuch of same logic as 2 wide, but if Vax charges off to meet threat,  leaves Damaris a wide area unobstructed to fire from (Vax has moved/over  Dickens), or can move in with sword.Watch Rotation (12 hour rest)Shift 1: Damaris/Blue, Aedger prepares spellsShift 2: Aedger/Vax, Hode prepares spellsShift 3: Hode/Dickens, Damaris prepares spellsKeeps at least one DV in each rotation, at least 1 caster ready in each  shift after first, casters prepare in order of combat nature, so as  night progresses, group becomes more combat ready (marginally). Dickens  picks up morning shift with LLV (if above ground).Thoughts?I feel that by putting Dickens in front, I'm treating him as  expendable/trap detector, but it makes sense because we can all look  over him. And he has the highest HP in the party. Almost as much as the  bottom half put together. Which in hindsight, all those are at the back  of the party, in case we get stalked. Hmm.Also, I feel that Damaris isn't in a good position to use longsword, or even bow much of the time.[/sblock]</blockquote>
