As I have Control Weather in effect, it seems important to determine the season and other such possible weather patterns. The spell is vague with regards to what effects are possible between different climates and seasons.
I would like some sort of weather to obscure vision/hinder a search, like fog, heavy rain/hail, a blizzard, or some other such thing. Basically some very extreme weather. So, if you give me the season and the climate I'll try and think of something appropriate.
As far as communication during the combat goes, I agree that it's a challenge. We don't know each other's capabilities, and we only have so much we can say as free actions. That makes our backgrounds all the more important, as knowing that Rana is a good arcane spellcaster (and maybe knowing some of the spells she knows) would be important, the same with Milar and myself.
I'm hoping that my short instructions are clear enough, because finishing our business this round might be tricky if things aren't coordinated perfectly.
