C We are a stealth master for just this reason. We just need to get better at figuring out what to do after we sneak up on someone.

1. You... C. Sneak ahead alone to assess your foe. Since you are stealthy and can move more swiftly, if you go alone there is a strong chance you can catch up to the Norcs without being detected. Snarls nose and your hearing combined, you estimate it would take you about 20 minutes to get to the Norcs now, which means leaving your Balls for about 40 minutes at a minimum. Honestly I don't know how we are going to save the kids, they are probably going to just kill them all if they hear us coming.

A - They gave up the chance for B when they started killing kids. And the quicker we drop them and save the rest, the quicker we can get out of here, burn the bug room, and link back up with Aaron

C. We know they won't hesitate at killing kids. They will drat well kill the meat that the Ashrakan came all the way to get, if only to spite him. It's what we would do if we were on the other side. Arrange for the balls to move up quietly. We will leave trails and markings on the rock to inform them of the situation. Signal horn for emergency GET IN HERE.

Problem with sneaking as a group is that 1. Most (all?) of our Balls are in armor. Armor that takes time to get in and out of. 2. Few of our Balls have any sort of stealth training. Diog, Question: How alert have we been for traps? I know we're on top of things on the "surprise monster" front, but are we keeping an eye out for caltrops, or little spike traps like the ones we used?

I don't expect there to be traps, or for C to win the vote. But if C does win, we'll just have the Balls stop running and clanking around. More like a fast walk.

Really? Some of us want to talk with these mooks? The ones that sacrificed a woman to a demon, and killed a dozen or so kids? The only thing I want to say to them is "I HAVE COME TO END YOU!" and I expect that to be a fairly one-sided conversation, unless you count the screaming. But first, C what's going on! I wanna know how they're ordered. If it's "kids in the back", then rushing in is gonna get interesting. UppaTree fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Sep 8, 2014 |

You decide to scout ahead. You're hella-stealthy and encounter no problems. Up ahead, you see the norcs and the remaining children. One child stumbles, spraining an ankle. A norc finishes it off with a spear and continues marching. But not just any norc. It's the one you sometimes briefly refer to as Norkidel. You have your bow, but it's kind of dark and he's moving, so although you have a chance, you MIGHT miss a kill shot. Oh, hey, he's stabbing more kids. You decide not to shoot at Norkidel, instead opting to wait and see what he does. And he's...yep, killing more kids. Hell, some of them aren't even hurt, he's just tired of hearing them cry. If you hurry, you could get back to your Balls and overtake them. You instead decide to announce yourself. "I AM ENKIDEL, EL MEKA HINEY HINEY HO. PERHAPS WE CAN REACH SOME SORT OF FAVORABLE AGREEMENT? I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO COME TO BLOWS BETWEEN US."

If they have the kids on foot, they definitely have a rear group of norcs corralling them along. An uprotected rear, unready for a good thrust from behind by our shiny Balls

Changing from plain C to: C + Take Paebel Too. Team Archer! Paebel is a stealthy fucker, and we can rain arrows on them from both sides until the rest of the Balls arrive. Keep them from being able to form defenses or slaughter the kids before we get here.

A+C Plan Pincer. Take the fastest, quietest and strongest ( Can Enkidel use [???] to make his companions choose the quietest route? Sorta like guiding them at the church battle...) a few meters ahead and kill anything that is not human. The path to the best possible outcome is hitting them hard and fast before they know what is going on. Even if they're prepared and have formed a defensive perimeter there's no way they could expect the sheer amount of pain Enkidel and friends can unleash on them.

You are, by a large margin the stealthiest Ball of Labaras. After you, Paebel. After him, quite a bit below, Danal, who benefits from being taught by you before his manhood trial and Eleazar the Adventurer. None of the rest of your Balls could he described as... sneaky. They all subscribe to the "Yell-charge-stab-yell-stab-stab-stab" school of heroic. Except for Snarls of course. He is pretty stealthy too. You don't have anything resembling a stealthy strike force. At best it would be you, Danal(who is gone), Eleazar and Paebel who does not fight up front. I expect to update tonight. Unrelated and in the mean time, when we need new names for things we generally go with whatever is the most popular. That is how among other things, we got "eyescream", "arrow-time" and "norcs". That thing you did fighting the demon-centipedes and at the temple of El has been called "battle meditation" by some goons. Some said they hated that name but we need a name for it now. Do you like battle meditation? If not, any other ideas? Diogines fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Sep 8, 2014 |
