OOC Discussion for A Kingdom of Ashes (The Battle of the Alder's Forest, and Beyond)

So we're just abandoning the fight and hoping these guys can pull it out?

I can just imagine the boost to morale when the grunts see their great heroes teleport off inexplicably (maybe some know that one has fallen, but that's no guarantee and anyway, their surrounded by the bodies of their friends, family and fellow townsfolk) leaving them to try and win it by themselves. The tide has probably turned, yes, but I don't think we've hit the mop up stage yet, at which point I don't think there'd be a problem with us leaving.

If we take the four hour period for people to level up, at the end of that we should be all set in terms of the outcome of the battle or we can be called upon if things start to shift again.

Kaereth, however, will continue fighting until we hit the mop up point.

Well, we need to get to the portalstone. Since as far as we know, there aren't any major spellcasters in the Draconic army, I think Xath would be the best choice to get there undetected. Anyone can use the boots of teleport, and Xath has the ability to fly invisibly over the army. Then it's just a few miles to the portal stone.
If you wanted to Haste Justice-- she and Thane could probably out fly anything that the army has to offer... (they share spells) this could get Justice and L'Aurel to the portal stone quickly and without attempting to sneak L'Aurel's body through the evil draconic hordes... and, free up everyone else to get to the stone using the boots.

I think we should take the 4 hours to rest and the like-- but, after that, we should continue to fight the battle until it's DONE.

The circle is first... but, we can't just leave in the middle of battle...

We can fight until the end and still have L'Aurel ressurected... and, I think that's what we should do.

What do you guys think?

This is just such a stickey situation... Justice wants to fulfill L'Aurel's wishes... but, at the same time, she does not like ressurection/reincarnation magic...

Ahh... role playing can be tough.

Additionally, Vyrinjor, the White Dragon, was worth either 4360 or 3650 XP per person, depending on whether L'Aurel gets XP for the fight, or not. I'm inclined to give it to her, so assume the lesser amount unless I tell you otherwise.
um... she did help distract it, and did get a few rounds off..... then she died, so it's not like she was out the whole time, just most of it. :)

Kaereth will not be taking four hours rest, he will be fighting with the grunts until victory is clearly in hand, with the full understanding that he can't level until he gets rest.

But he's not as badly off as some.

There's enough happening that, beyond the amazing death of the Dragon-General Vyrinjor, the majority of the troops probably have no idea where you are or what you're doing. So, it's not like you'll be inexplicably disappearing. Instead, you'll be withdrawing to help a downed friend, something that's happening all along the battlefield...

On the other hand, this is perfectly acceptable. As it turns out, as I look at the remainder of the battle, four hours later is a great time to be waking up/un-meditating.

Of course, that is your prerogative. :)
