anxious to keep playing...

that is all

I realize this could well be the last thing he ever does, and I'm okay with that. As a Gypsy family is most important, and as it stands he has more in common with the elves below (blood) than the strange crew he's found himself with.

We really need to work together as a group. This whole thing where everyone is posting they have no loyalty to the party, are thinking of killing the party, are going to do their own thing whenever they feel like it or otherwise just causing party conflict is not very conducive to a fun game.

Sitting around unable to figure out what to do is not conducive to a fun game either, it's behavior like that which leads to people losing interest and a game fizzling.

And Crowe would not have left his pack, he'd still be wearing it. What little he has he wants to keep, not leave for a group of people he doesn't even know to pick through.

It seems like the party is so different in thought processes and personal values that it's going to be difficult to find that 'bond' until . unless we make it further as a group.

Dashing off to save 'another elf' because you're the same race may be fine and well, but it really has little context in this situation especially when everyone else save Trossach has made viable reasons not to endanger ourselves.

You have to remember as well this isnt your standard D&D setting. It's Dark sun, a brutal world where even basic survival is much harder, where food and water are not plentiful etc etc, and that would in and of itself harden a populous as a whole. so level one 'heroes' are probably VERY rare as most wouldn't see level 2. That would be common knowledge you as a gypsy of all people would know.

That being said. if Crowe is that enamoured with the belief that blood is thicker than ...well... anything, Cool! I just don't want to see it tear the party apart so early on lol.

Finally.. Doc will have to wait and see what happens with Impulse's post to be able to react.

EDIT: forgot we're level 2.. so maybe you ARe one of the few who'se brazen nature has made it haha..


Doc will enter the fray but only after a description / map )please?) from the DM.

The fact that they are Elves is NOT Crowe's only motivation. As voiced earlier, he believes that strength on numbers can overcome this foe and remove a potential threat that the group would not be able to handle further down the line without the added aid of the Elves before us.

He's also not fond of sitting idly by, so he would be eager to act and get something done than to just watch as others are slaughtered.

I am prepared for the fact that he may not make it out of this, and I am at peace with the idea. If he survives then he will come out stronger and more knowledgeable for his rash actions, and will likely have formed a closer bond with any who decide to join him in the fray, thus building toward the idea that the group could in fact come to be considered "family" and therefore a priority as they grow together. Crowe's actions may be reckless and rash, but I have put a lot of thought into this.

Yea i realize now that issues like these might take up more time than the week permits

I'll have an update tomorrow guys

And Shield would you be fighting and then just trying to distract? Not fighting to the death are you?

And just to clarify, no one would be helping? Aside from maybe Trossarch with his bow?

Keeper, looks like you'll have to edit your post as Crowe would have his pack with him.

Crowe intends to join the battle, if it is to the death, then that is his destiny.

well may the dice gods be in your favour

If Trossach and Crowe join the battle. Doc will bear his shields and enter the fray keeping his distance as best he can but trying to be a bulwark between the injured / retreating elves. (meaning if the zombies / sprinters etc try and engage the presumed 'disengage action elves' and outpace them somehow, Doc will try and aim to be in a position to cut them off.

That being said. Doc will utilize his two shields (no weapon) and become a mobile barricade utilizing the higher ac to protect those trying to retreat.

In the interest of Dm's who post more than a single round of combat at a time:

While being the bulwark, he'll telepathically try and motivate any elves 'behind him' to try and flee, or utilize the time he's buying them to take down the foes focusing one at a time.

If it looks like the battle is going poorly for whatever reason. or he looks to be overrun (at least 3 within range of the ability)

Doc will visually start clicking his mouth and audibly making sounds incoherent to anyone else, while his non-weapon wielding left hand bound with the red ribbon will finger the strands as he calls forth a "Channel Divinity" Turn undead.

If that fails.. he'll use his shields to block sight from those around him best he can and use his free hands to incant 'Sacred flame' and try to put them down that way.

That noted will be used as a last resort though as he's very hesitant to let out any inkling of his divine link.

After you post anything included can be back posted on and put more eloquently from an in game perspective.

I was going to have Reynard charge in, hahaha. Seems Shield Wolf beat me to the punch on this one. Reynard only had 8 wisdom, so it isn't like he plans things out super well either.

This situation is quite different for me, to be the character actually choosing to charge in.

I really didn't mean to miss the fight. I just didn't know we had made a decision. But then, it doesn't really look like "we" did. This could end up being a very interesting group. Anyway, Trossach is in the fight - but from a distance while possible.

Still waiting on that map (will make tactical placement easier)

going to see Lindsay Stirling tomorrow, and be out till sunday evening when I'll plan to hopefully post the in game next course of actions.

never got the map... and havent seen anything in either thread for almost a week now... guessing real life caught up with impulse again.

So for now. Klik is still going to stick to his previous post.. defend the elves so they can escape, help his party utilizing double shields, and only use Channel divinity turn undead or sacred flame as a last resort.

I went on a "vacation" type thing but we went a day early and I just got back tonight. I meant to post on friday that there'll be a delay but now everythings back on track. Map update will be pumped out in approximately half an hour!

Goodness I forgot how to link images like before. If someone could remind me how, I'd appreciate that greatly. I'll have an update detailing what's happening within the night/ early morning.

Edit: Figured it out!

2nd edit: I rolled stealth checks for you guys with low DC as the dune you're on is really high up, about 45 feet high. Since Nomad you just said you'd try to hit with your bow, I just kept you up there, raining arrows basically. If you want me to change something just lemme know.
