[Recap]
From Will: [Re: Actions]
sorry that was supposed to be for everyone
Will is ready to spring...er...
leap...er...
er grunt into action.
If Fremea gives the signal Will will use a speed spell to
quiken his pace and join the frey.
> Will says between breaths:
> > I'll... > just... > bring up... > the rear
GM: Ack. In cases folks didn't read between the lines he is a bit
weighted down now. :)
From Kell: [Re: Actions]
[Scott - hope your computer issues are finally fixed. That is
super frustrating! Aint windows just grand?? ;)
Also - Good update. I liked it a lot for some reason. Possibly
the bits for each character? Anyways, thanks. ]
[OOC2 - To verify the order of the group.
Fremea in front, approx 20 feet ahead.
Unali and Kell next.
Farseeker and Chion next.
Arawn. Ben'Dar and Caladan.
Raban. Z'L. Will.
Is this correct?
Because it plays into possible tactics for this fight.
:) ]
Kell turns and gives Unali his best gambling grin, as...
[Will - Ha! Too funny with the weight.]
Thanks.
----
Kell's plan is still the same if possible - teleport several
of us to the other end of the tunnel to cut off any possible
escaping Vong, attack from both sides. If we have it, cast
some kind of (non-deadly, non-chaos) silence spell to prevent
our detection from Vong up the tunnel.
This leaves party free to handle any vong in the niche and
treasure area. This is what Kell hopes to do. Not sure if
it'll work out.
Touching Unali gently on her shoulder, Ha'Kell leans to her
ear and whispers very quietly, "What now? Try to ambush, or
charge into the sentries? If one escapes our stealth is gone."
Pausing just a moment, his eyes seeming to flash that intense
blue when he thinks.
"We can ask Chion to teleport three of us in front of those 2,
and attack from both sides. Chion, you and I telelport and
attack, cutting them off. Then Fremea and Farseeker from this
side."
GM: Ack. I hope. I've made it a bit over a week. But I
need to work on Backup. So I can backup things and
continue installation of stuff I may need. I just
installed EaseUS todo but then realize it may be
a trial version as well. I just want a FULL versions
that I can use for life. If I feel its worth paying
for then I will. I mean testing backup after a month
isn't good. If anyone has suggestions on the backup
software they use email me or chat me. As to update
thanks for the feedback. It helps. I just do introspections
on what folks are likely acting at the time. It adds filler
and sometimes spice. Opps in my quick reply I missed the
other text. You are in the hallway facing the Vong. So
it only will take a split second before he looks up. Then
its all over. Speaking to folks will be futile at that time.
--------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Augado 10th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains]
[ Mountains west of Pamau]
[Time: 2:09:00 pm]
Kell turns and gives Unali his best gambling grin, as if he
just won a huge hand on a bluff. Winning with a jack when your
opponent had a full house, and loving every minute of it. He
then hefts his shield slightly, making sure the wand is secure
in his left hand with the shield, and adjusting the spear in
his right hand.
Glancing quickly back at the group, he gives a signal to be
still for a moment. Let this play out and see where it goes.
He also makes sure the best, other fighters are close and
ready, signaling at least 1 Vong ahead.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update....Friday...
GM: Short update. I figure folks will need to get back into
the groove. So I will pause things here. We have a
plan to Teleport folks but Kell can't use his dialog.
By the time he says it all the Vong will be attacking.
It will only take the Vong facing to the left side (to
the party) to look up. Once that is done stealth is
gone. Folks are IN the tunnel already and will be
seen. There is no time to prep. Just act. I have
some actions but wanted to give a couple more days to
act. Regardless I will do 2 phases of combat. If
no reply then will assume folks like Kell try to cut
the enemy off, Will speeds up and Fremea attacks. :)
So if changes to be made let me know. Keep in mind I
will work on the update Wednesday likely. Usually a
combat like this could take 2-3 hours per phase. Usually
the setup takes that long. Then 1-2 hours for cleanup.
I may only have a couple hours Thursday night. So
will have to if time to work on it a bit Wednesday night.
So best to have new actions by Wednesday say noon or 1pm
EST. Then I can work on things if I have time.
GM: Map Info - A better hex map. I know the actual
hex lines may confuse you. The small map below the main
map shows the hexes removed so you see how the tunnel
walls look a bit around the area. Maybe this will
give you more info? The tunnel is about 20 feet wide.
About 10 feet high. Keep in mind. With a second or two
at most to react not much time to speak plans. So need
to convey or JUST do actions and others may follow.
GM: Rough map -
/I\ = East
1 Hex (six sided hex) = 10 feet
1 Column = 5 Feet
1 Row = 5 feet
1 2 3 4 5 6
