Because spell check hates you. Hates you I say!
Or...it's a cover up by big business Microsoft, which is controlled by the Morgans and Rothschilds who don't want to give any clues of their European connections by making spellcheck work well when confronted with European phrases. Covering their tracks, you know...

to the point.
at least one PC will die on saturday. and i'll be damned if anyone dies before the martyr. so i say we make like a tree and get the hell outa here and let the martyr do what he was made for. this way at least one of us can have a good death.
because if we all stay, we'll all die.
Gertie said that Xath could get everyone out but one. so, assuming we can survive the X-mas Reptas' action at the top of the round, i want everyone to strategically retreat back to reinforcements.
and hey, Archon has an 80% chance of comming back as a revenant.
and this gives him a good excuse to cop out on the whole "king" thing.

Now that's just silly!
Revenants, btw, are not playable character races.
If you're going to retreat, why don't you *all* retreat, pull Cawys up to put up a quick wall of stone, and delay the Reptus that way. Sure, it puts your peons back into the game of getting slaughtered by vastly more powerful foes, but it's not likely that Archon's going to kill one all by himself, even if he stays. So, sacrifice a PC if it'll have a meaningful effect, but there's no point in Archon going out just because he *can.*Archon said:at least one PC will die on saturday. and i'll be damned if anyone dies before the martyr. so i say we make like a tree and get the hell outa here and let the martyr do what he was made for. this way at least one of us can have a good death.

i don't want to die...but
what i'm saying is that Archon probably won't even make it to his turn in the order before he either gets stabbed or takes a stabbing for someone else.
BUT, if we all live through the next round, i want Xath to teleport everyone out and since she has to leave somebody behind i want it to be Archon. he can tumble very well, plus i can hide from them if i can get to some cover er something.
if Archon doesn't live through the round the choices become very simple. everyone teleports out.
there are plenty of npcs i can run during the battle, so i know i won't be out of the game when Archon dies. we all knew this battle was going to be tough and that someone might die. and seeing as how Archon has the unique gift of suffering so that others may live AND his state of well-being is currently low, he has a high chance of not making it.
it's ok. this is what he was made for. while this might not be our "darkest hour" it certainly is dark.
i'm not trying to get Archon killed. but it looks to be very likely. and i'd rather us plan on it happening then us be surprised by it.
it's a game, it's a story, it's fun. and if Archon dies here it will be no less fun for me.
so, if we all live, awesome. but we do need to run away. we can't win here.
we did a lot of damage, it just wasn't enough.
this is a battle to remember win or lose.

Just one question:
Why teleport out, when you can just retreat? Order the men back into the breech, and let them try to hold off the Reptus, for a bit. Better yet, Cawys is only a few hundred yards away...
(Stuff to think about, anyway)

Running is just as effective as teleporting...
Justice should be fine for the next round of combat- I've got just over 50 hit points and, unless I manage to critically fail, I'll be taking out the one Jolly Lizard that is on me.
After that comes the healing.
Also, I second Jeremiah's notion-- DM mercy is great and all... but, we brought this on ourselves... if we die, so be it.

As with most fighter types, Fort. and Ref. are higher than Will. However, how *much* higher is not certain, as I don't have the Fiend Folio with me here at work. Good idea. Other than the fact that you have to stop singing to do it, this might be a good way to start when the combat continues.
