Q'Barra: Facing Truth OOC

[Rolzup]

There's an excellent chance I won't be able to post at all tomorrow (Saturday), but I should be back again on Sunday by the latest.

 

[Pebele]

Alright, not a problem.

If you're able to post, that will be awesome. If not, we'll look for you Sunday.

 

[Pebele]

Hey everyone. I was hoping that we could wrap up preparations around the Academy by today or tomorrow, and then start the group off on their adventure on Monday.

I am really happy with the interactions that have been going on, and I certainly do not want anyone to stop with the great roleplaying that's happening. I'd just like to start roleplaying somewhere other than the campus.

Sound like a plan?

 

[EvolutionKB]

Sounds good to me.

Hey everybody,

Once we get going how to we want to organize a marching order? When combat breaks out do we want someone to protect the most squishy party member(I think this at this point it's Trebuchet)?

 

[Shayuri]

Could be. AC 18, HP 30. Not bad for a mid level unbuffed mage.

 

[Yeoman]

My guess is that Darrick should bring up the rear since he's brining his horse. Trebuchet should also be towards the rear, and Sepoto should be in the middle, since I think he's our most vulnerable member.

I think Catherine or Kaelan should lead, and then Charles should be in the middle with Sepoto.

I'm probably the 'squishiest' with 22 hp, but this might not matter, given that when scouting, or once the fighting starts, Sepoto is up the nearest tree 20'-30' and raining arrows down on the opponents. I plan on making him inaccesible to melee opponents through stealth or height. Having obscenely high Dexterity based skills, particularly combined with the shifter and ninja abilities should make this feasible.

Sepoto will likely scout ahead of the party in the deeper undergrowth or from tree to tree when able, falling back to the middle rank when open terrain presents itself. He is for all intents and purposes a hit and run character in combat.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I don't think Pebele said it specifically, but she is allowing skill tricks from CS. I believe Charles is a melee scout, so how does this look assuming a single file path through the jungle: Kaelan, Catherine, Charles, Sepoto, Trebuchet, Darrick. Sepoto would off in the jungle hide/ms through the brush.

I'm having trouble deciding who takes point, Kaelan or Catherine; Catherine's high AC makes it better if foes get the drop on us but her lower mobility make it harder for her to get to those in need if she needs to get to the back.

Now that I go back and look at Charles, Sepoto, and Kaelan's character sheets, we are all pretty good at Hide/MS. What do people think of the 3 of us take to the side of the trail and move along while staying hidden, Derricks marshal aura will add 3 to all our checks. If somebody thinks that would be a bad idea(whether because we'd be stepping on the toes of somebodies concept, or just a general plan of keeping the group more together let me know.)

My guess is that Darrick should bring up the rear since he's brining his horse. Trebuchet should also be towards the rear, and Sepoto should be in the middle, since I think he's our most vulnerable member.

I think Catherine or Kaelan should lead, and then Charles should be in the middle with Sepoto.

As long as he's got a clear path for lance-work, all will be good.

And I like the thought of the scouts to either side. Perhaps two of them flamking the others, while the third goes on a bit ahead? Be a good idea to arrange some sort of signal in case of trouble.
