 I vote that we create 9 zombies

[~Neri]

Numbers will not help us win. It's been stated.

Its not that they can't, or won't. However, in some cases numbers simply won't be able to fill the gap in power.

[pikorge]

Following still with much joy.

[evilcherry]

Seems 3x Bow Skeletons will be the best choice here.

Unless the GM gives us better investments.

[Hawk132]

Should we give the seed (Surpass Death) to our Capt'n?

+1 to 3 Bow Skeletons.

+1 then

[fillipk]

Sure 3 bow skeletons we have enough melee anyway but we should get stronger minions.

The strongest we can get are skeletons equipped with weapons with a captain bones nearby.
Also 3 bow skeletons sounds like an alright plan +1

Day 15, Part 2

Deciding to expand your forces you gather your power into three graves, and will new minions into existence. Within moments three more skeletons have clawed themselves free of their temporary prison with bows in hand, and quivers at the ready. They silently join your growing horde in the depths of the graveyard to wait for an enemy to slay.

-------

The hours pass slowly and uneventfully until about midday when you sense three somewhat powerful beings trespassing on your Domain without the slightest hint of hesitation about them. Turning your attention towards them you find three individuals working their way towards the heart of the graveyard, and adorned with equipment that clearly sets them apart from those you've slain so far. The one farthest in front is a human wearing leather armor with a large two-handed sword in his hands, and some kind of thin aura radiating from him. Second among the group is a hunched figure in a green cloak whose hands hold a dagger in each hand as he seems to move from tombstone to tombstone attempting to stay in cover as often as possible.

Finally, the last party member is dressed in a similar cloak with a wooden staff as tall as he is acting as a walking stick as he follows the other two almost carelessly. From him you can faintly feel some kind of vast mana pool within ...

Spoiler: Minions, Items, Traps, and More (click to show/hide)

Minions:
Skeleton - The weakest of minions available to you, they are the remnants of human corpses raised to protect you from those who would seek to steal away your Heart. Though they are weak they hold great potential for advancement.
Cost: 5 DP

Captain Bones - A skeleton whose purpose is to lead, and coordinate other skeletons in battle. They're about as competent in battle as any other skeleton, but their presence and the deathly aura they give off makes other nearby skeletons more efficient at killing their foes.
Cost: 15 DP

Zombie - Much more robust than skeletons your zombies, but somewhat slower and less agile these zombies are useful for taking a few hits while your stronger minions take care of any real threats. Can only equip armor.
Cost: 5 DP

Giant Bat - A small, and unassuming bat. Not the most powerful of creatures that might one day serve you, but given the chance they can prove just as lethal as any old bag of bones you bring forth from the ground.
Cost: 10 DP

Items:
Rusty Sword - Its an old, rusty sword. What did you expect? [Damage 2]
Cost: 5 DP

Bone Shortbow - A weapon carved from the bones of some animal with its bowstring made from its sinew. A powerful if somewhat unimpressive looking weapon. [Damage 2, Medium Range, Shortbow]
Cost: 10 DP

Rotting Buckler - This shield is about as old as the corpses you summon to guard yourself, while not the most reliable thing it is better than nothing. [Block: 10%]
Cost: 5 DP

Traps:
None?

[FallacyofUrist]

Perhaps we should move a few of our minions back to our heart chamber as a reserve.

[DAPARROT]

Ok,strategy for combat should be:
Focus on the Mage
Keep the sneaky guy in sight at all times
Avoid the guy with the big sword until the other two are dead

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Form Zombies into wall Flank with melee skeletons. Have archers first aim for mage. Bats attack mage and sneaky guy

[Ozarck]

I'd prefer negotiations first. also, best encounter format: have everyone go inside, to the cavern and the bat room. Have the cavern minions hide until the party passes them, and then close up behind them, while the batroom peeps close up in front. Kill from both ends. Weaknesses - a) being spotted moving en masse, b) having the cavern group spotted before the trap could be sprung. c) threat of aoe or chain attacks from wizard crushing large chunks of minions at a time.

you'll spend too much time swinging at a high dex character while a high strength character systematically murders your minions.

try - bone archers focus on the mage, bats distract the big guy, rush the wizard. Then arrow to the everywhere on the big guy, while the melee gang waits for him to be weakened before engaging. then eliminate the little guy, or trap him inside and kill him before he gets through.

Perhaps we should move a few of our minions back to our heart chamber as a reserve.

something tells me we'll need all the minions for this encounter. To separate them is to give the enemy breathing room to recover between encounters.

[Hawk132]

Negotiations? They're clearly adventurers trying to kill, maim and take everything we hold dear.
