[OOC] Constables of the 14th Ward

[Lou]

Name for the Alpha Squad

Raul is ready to introduce Moru and himself to John, and I realized that we haven't picked a name for the Alpha squad. We need a name to spread around the area to strike fear in the tiny hearts of the bad guys and to enrage the minds of the truly evil-doers.

Any suggestions? I think the DMs have already mentioned:

Alpha Squad
Bronze Badges
.....

 

[Leif]

Actually, the "official" name is Alpha Division of the Special Squad of the Constables of the Fourteenth Ward of Lauralie Summerhome. "Bronze Badges" is one nickname because, you guessed it, your badges are made of bronze!

 

[Scotley]

With such a large group it might be helpful to your DM's, and you do want to help out your DM's don't' you, if you develop a standard marching order for things like wide streets, 5', 10' and 15' passages. It would be nice to know who tends to provide the light sources as well. Torches and lanterns expended in the line of duty are in theory reimbursable expenses.

Iggy told us that we could come up with our own nickname if we wanted. Why not pick something to spread around to draw attention to ourselves?

This is also a good idea for us. We need a tough guy and a perceptive guy both front and back. the casters should be at the center, I guess.

suggestions: Alarion and Darius at the front, with Rahvin or Jonas, and Soulfetter and Rahvin or Jonas, with Raul, as rearguard. Again, casters in the center.

any thoughts before we fine-tune this?

Oh? I wasnt aware that you were "attention deficit!" (By which I mean that you're not getting enough attention. )

SoulFetter's happy wherever - it probably does make sense for him to play rearguard, as he may be able to throw his axes over the heads of the party.

 

[Leif]

SoulFetter

Just be careful of LOW CEILINGS if he's gonna do that! haha

Maeglin/Rahvin

quoth Maeglin: "BTW Leif and Scotley: do you guys use the Search skill description from Eberron? I just got the setting book myself, and they have a nice set of rules for investigating... If you guys plan on using these, let me know. If you think it reasonable, perhaps I could change one of my toughness feats to acquire some investigator feats.... let me know."

We are not using anything from Eberron that I am aware of. Sounds interesting, though. If we make any changes, you'll be among the first to know. Thanks!

As far as actual marching order, Thea is more than content to be somewhere in the middle- at least when there is any likelihood of attack. Truncheon training lessons have certainly taught her that even Moru Sen is physically more durable than she is. In situations where combat does not seem imminent, though, she is more likely to gravitate towards the front- both to use her own investigative abilities, and to watch people like Jonas and Rahvin do their searching (since she is quite impressed by their non-magical knack for such endeavors).
