Welcome back DoctorX.

Lomeluin has expended one arrow in your absence. He has 19 remaining.

Hi GM -

Is OOC kibitzing on ongoing battles OK here? If not, cool. If so, should just players in the actual battle kibitz, or can the rest of us shout advice from the sidelines too?

We would be retreating if at all possible, calithena.

Are any sounds of battle emanating to the surface?

That's fine. You can talk strategy and meta-gaming all you like here in out of character... [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

I gave the sounds of battle in my last post on the Hollin Gate thread.

Opps. Sorry, Ways. Being in the middle of finals, I'm barely keeping up with the posts as it is.

There was a point at which ways I thought said the dwarves could run for 4-5 rounds if they were willing to take one shot at them per round. It's moot now but I would have taken those odds. If I'm wrong no biggie, we seem to be in it now.

We are a massive target with a party this size. If we want to minimize losses we will need to stick pretty closely to the scout-retreat-full assault method - and the scouts have to get out before they trigger action as often as possible, they are information gatherers. (Why Wizard Eye is a 4th level spell.)

Concentrated force is hugely important in most RPG combat systems and the more of it you apply faster the more likely you are to get through what is often a pretty rough attrition game.

Well, let's kill these trolls and then we can yell at each other IC and form some unit cohesion. But if you guys see any chance at fighting retreat as a group - I think some of you are doing this already - take it. Otherwise, reinforcements are on the way!
