That is what I had in mind. sneak over the hill and then "death from above" or support with illusions or other magic.

DeWar, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | This post censored as unduly hurtful and just plain mean.

DeWar, it truly frightens me how much we think alike. That is it! I'm getting me an appointment with the therapist!

uh, wow. that just plain hurts. I am going in the corner and cry now.

Awww, I didn't mean it, DeWar, I was only funnin'. Are you still my bud??

 

[Scott DeWar]

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if you need said education I can always throw a couple demons at your character...

No, no thank you. I appreciate your offer to the party here, but it, as gracious as it is, Will not be necessary.

Is there anything in mass combat for PCs who aren't commanding an army to do?

Not being snarky, I'm honestly not sure how it works.

Hey, not taking it as snarky at all, I'm learning here too.

Your question is actually the part that has caused the delay. The adventure as written doesn't really offer anything. If it were a face to face session the battle would be fairly short and it wouldn't be that big a deal, but given the pace of pbp it could easily idle most of the group for more than a week. I initially thought to take you up on your offer and let you play the enemy army for rolls and such, but that still leaves the bulk of your rather large group with thumb in bum. So, I have been making other plans for you.

If we can metagame for just a moment without spoiling anyone's fun. It would be helpful if you all would assemble more or less together for the battle so that I can give you an opportunity to have a role separate from the army...

 

[Scott DeWar]

Maybe we should have each section of the army pair up with player characters? They in turn would command that section of soldiers. Have a martial paired with a squishy? I am just thinking out loud here - meta-gaming as it were.

Yeah, except that one of our DMs just asked us PCs to get together in one area, which is kinda the opposite of what you suggest. Banaq stands ready to go where needed, Scotley.
