[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5072252, member: 46559"] [sblock=ooc]I'm scratching my head, too. We needs Derien to get the heck out of there. If he drops, we might as well surrender. Actually getting him out of there, on the other hand, is a challenge. I'm not sure how to do that. I'm torn between trying to focus on the panther, and trying to pound on the dragon in the hopes of healing. I'm leaning towards wanting to get rid of the panther. It's putting up enough damage that if we ignore it, we're likely to drop before we can put much of a dent in the dragon. Ikni has her potion still, and has a close attack that targets only enemies, so she's not terribly bothered by blindness (except for granting CA). If she weren't prone, I'd shift and use it on both the panther and dragon. Given that she is prone, though, I'm tempted to just stand and drink a potion this turn. Idea 1: Ironheart charges to R15, hits the dragon, marks it, and pushes it north or NW. Then Derien can stand up and move away out of breath range without provoking, and still has a minor action to sustain. Ikni stands, marks the panther, and goes total defense. Hopefully (60% chance) she saves against blindness. If r1 is kind to us, the dragon will attack Ironheart and the panther will attack Ikni. Ironheart should survive for one round, at least. Ikni only survives on a miss, but there's a decent chance of that. Better than 50/50, if I've counted right. She will use her daily if hit, it's an interrupt which probably won't kill the panther but should at least soften it up. Her mark stays active while unconscious (though obviously she can't reduce damage then), so there's that. Rhole can play potion fairy again, or leave Ikni for a round or two if another opportunity presents itself. Hopefully Haruka and Derien can drop the panther before it puts anyone besides Ikni down. Idea 2: Everyone piles on the panther. Ikni stands and hits him. Ironheart charges him. Derien stands and shifts, maybe getting cover from a party member. We still probably won't drop the panther this round, but very likely next round... unless the dragon hits us all with its breath weapon first. Which it probably will. On the whole, I think I like Idea 1 better. Thoughts? [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
