[QUOTE="Bihlbo, post: 4235794, member: 9961"] I could be wrong about my assessment, but I had gathered that this was the situation: [list][*]The courtyard is guarded by something that slightly resembles dogs (maybe dire wolves or blink dogs?). [*]The walls are patrolled by more orcs, and the only reason we didn't rush the dog-like-things is that those orcs could have pelted us with arrows and raised the alarm. [*]Therefore, we're going to attack the orcs on the walls. These "sentries", once eliminated, won't be able to raise the alarm when we head down into the bowels of the keep, which is undoutedly where the rest of the orcs are located. [/list] So if this is oll korrekt then the ones heading up the stairs are going to rush [b]one[/b] sentry while the rest of us guard the bottom of the stairs from the gatehouse. Once that is accomplished, as long as more orcs aren't coming at us, we'll move across the walls to take out the other sentries up there. If attacking the one sentry alerts the rest of the orcs, those of us on the ground can attempt to pick those off while the folks who are on the wall get back [b]down the stairs[/b] to a defensable position. I'm fairly certain that if the ones on top of the stairs keep going without us, we'll end up with a TPK. But, how we deal with that will largely be decided by the upstairs fight's result. Bottom line: we just don't have enough information yet to plan out an attack. We're going to strike and see what happens. And I'd kind of like to get started on that. [/QUOTE]
