Aelspeth Noromiel, Fledgling Conjurer
Aelspeth, crouched low as she can in the skiff, lurches slightly with the impact. She glances at the water, black as jet, imagining how many men are feeding the sharks at this very moment. She shudders as she recalls, vaguely, some mention of a proverbial footlocker where dead sailors are buried.
"Those ladders look sturdy enough, right?" She stares at Leira, then Qalabash, a beat passing without words. Features painted with earnest concern, she says, "You two lead us into melee. Be wary--the decks may be slick with blood if there was such a slaughter as we've been told. I'll be right behind you."
[sblock=Actions and Strategy]Standard: Total Defense (+4 dodge to AC brings total to 21 until initiative refreshes)
Move: ---
Aelspeth's idea is for our melee specialists to lead, followed by blasters, and the sneaks bring up the rear--in short, disembark in order with no real shuffling. She is prepared to cast Color Spray on a crowd or Enlarge Person if things get really hairy. She had (naively) hoped that Francis and Arradon might be able to peek around the deck before any fighting began in earnest. That being foiled now, she wants someone capable to watch her back.
OOC, I would prefer to hold my 1st levels until a later encounter and let the rogues set up flanks. Aelspeth doesn't get that. She's smart enough to use Color Spray on a group but will end the conflict as quickly as she can.[/sblock]
