Birthday Game 2010 - Out of Character discussion

I have confirmations from:

9/18

I can not begin to express my concerns for Sunday. I have no idea what is the right thing to do. I hope I can help by giving some things to think about.

1) The guards we first attack will be the easiest, as we are prepared for to an extent. It is the group of unknown that we should worry about and attack when they are the weakest, when they are asleep, and not after they have rested too long.

2) I can not see how we can kill everybody without raising some sort of alarm. I also do not see how we can expect to kill anyone then rest for too long as they will come looking for us.

3) If the group expects to go through another big fight in another day or so, Miranda's spells might want to be saved only for healing.

4) While I like the idea of defending a door way where only one lizard man can come in at a time, it does seem to put us in a situation where we have to fight to the death.

Just don't over plan

1. the best time to attack the guards will be after the first shift is done although since this is bob we are dealing with maybe the first shift is the best one to take out.

2. I dont see how we will be able to keep kristelle from wanting to stop killing the lizards since they are her hated enemy.

3. we will have time to rest and recharge so to speak after we get to the temple before we make our final assault.

4. dont forget foriso can use his cloak to cast a giant web to catch as many as possible then we can actually set fire to it and cause as much damage to the trapped lizards as possible which will help us in the long run.

the problem is not over planning but actually doing any planning to start with lol.

Since we seem to be making 4 point lists, I thought I'd join in.

1. Our job is to kill them all, so stopping Kristelle should not be an issue, but rather unleashing her would be a good thing. And if they are all dead, there won't be any to come looking for us.

2. I don't know about Miranda's spell count, but Branwyn has only used 1 spell so she should be okay without rest until we can sleep near the temple.

3. If anything, I am a little concerned about us getting stuck in a hut. I would assume the huts will be dark, so sneaking in and killing 2-4 lizardman before an alarm is raised is doubtful. I would guess that we won't get past the first hut before we have woken everyone up.

4. So, if we use the web spell, timing is everything. Spells are fun and everything but they have their catches and limitations. If say 3 run towards the hut in question and web is cast, the rest do not get caught. Bob says burning the web makes it disappear after 2 rounds so any not caught will just be out there waiting til web disappears. If there are bushes or wood or anything else that burns are in the main area, they will continue to burn after web is gone so we may be facing fire outside with us in the clay hut, that I assume with our limited tools will not be easy to break out of. We have to hope that many will run towards us and hope that none get inside the hut before Foriso can cast. But who knows, maybe it is just crazy enough to work. We are going to be in for a hell of a fight no matter how we approach it.

I'm out of numbers so we'll see what happens tomorrow :)

Ill answer just 3 and 4 here the other 2 we can do later as far as 3 goes im sure if worst comes to worst we could always make a hole out the back and escape but dont forget we will have everybody BUT foriso fighting those 2-4 lizards so we should be able to make short work of them and if an alarm is raised then so be it which takes us into 4 foriso will be watching and waiting to catch the maximum number of lizards in the web as he possibly can and with the huge radius that it has should be able to get most if not actually all of them. Then its just a matter of setting the web on fire which will take out the web yes BUT will cause damage to everything caught in them which should help when we release kristelle to go after them after the fires gone out. Besides we will HOPEFULLY have more than just us there which will help with the combat but that we will just have to wait and see on.
