This lost tribe probably didn't get lost following a road somewhere. Let's go North to the mountains of Mom.

Wasn't one of the brothers we traveled with back in the early days of LW one of these knights? I bet if Lone Wolf were here he'd want us to save the guy. Lone Wolf is a good guy who knows who has an evil tattoo and who doesn't, so let's step in.

Grey Star the Wizard posted:You wait in silence, pondering the best course of action. A detachment of five Shadakine warriors, carrying crossbows, comes marching along the road; they halt to load their weapons only a few yards in front of you. If they should use their weapons against the brave knights on the bridge, the knights will have no hope of beating them off.

Guy Fawkes posted:Brain over brawn. Grey Star the Wizard posted:You focus your thoughts in meditation, weaving a web of enchantment and attempting to influence the minds of the Shadakine warriors who are fighting on the bridge. Suddenly the Shadakine officer in command turns and sees the crossbowmen. His face contorts in fury. He barks a command and ten of his warriors turn and charge towards the crossbowmen who look on in amazement. You have created the illusion that the crossbowmen are Knights of the White Mountain and, believing that the enemy are challenging their rear, the Shadakine have turned to attack this new threat. The use of this Magical Power has cost you 2 WILLPOWER points.

The smart thing to do is shoot them from a distance but I feel like charging in and attacking them at close range.

The Shadakine that remain continue to fight, but eventually falter and retreat into small groups. With their numbers divided into small pockets of resistance, the knights are quickly able to overcome them, demonstrating their superior fighting skills in one to one combat. The Shadakine warriors fight to the last man and you expend another WILLPOWER point before the battle is over.
I almost posted the wrong results for that fight twice, first by subtracting damage from our Willpower instead of our Endurance, and only after fixing that did I realise that I'd forgotten about our alether. Combat in Grey Star is much better than in Lone Wolf, in my opinion, but there is more to keep track of.

1. Take another meal. 2. Use the elixir and vial of laumspur. 3. Use a Tarama seed for the first round of each combat if we were going to use 3 willpower. Use maximum willpower instead for that round. 4. Pretend to sleep - maybe she was a double agent after all! Decoy Badger fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Mar 18, 2019 |

As I understand it, you have to make the decision to eat the seed before you know how much WP you're going to spend. The game may decide to give you hints, but you have to make the decision at the time you decide to use a power, rather than on the page where the power is actually used and your WP is deducted. Otherwise, agreed: heal up, grab the items, and watch Tanith.

use all three healing potions to get back up from 7 to 20 EP, and to free up the backpack space. take maximum meals after loading up on all the other swag, minus the 2 we eat. 4 or more WP to use a Tarama Seed unless it's a major emergency. with the from Rendalim we've got 5? or just 4? see what Tanith is up to

By the way, Madin Rendalim is the same herbalist that helped Lone Wolf recovering in Durenor, after retrieving the Sommerwerd (Book 2: Fire on the Water). The events cannot be simultaneous.
