Yes.

No.

I'm not a player but I want to see the results.

[GiglameshDespair]

See? Chalco knew it was impossible.

[CrimsonEon]

* CE looks at IC and scratches head.

Honestly at this point I'm thinking option A, as it would close the numbers gap between sides. Including NPCs, it's 10 vs 11 in option A. Odds are, we can probably bring enough people up/cull the lower health enemies to the point we can swing the balance in our favor. Lian will be out of position, but at the same time she was able to distract 4 enemies this turn and I don't want that to go to waste.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah. I suppose there's also the risk if we get things rerolled, RNGesus will smite us for our sins.

If we can open up a path to Lian, Chalco can vuln her if need be. But she's got three turns, anyway, so we've got a little bit of time.

[Swordstar]

Also Iolani needs to get dropped this turn which wastes a Niccola move remember

[Mopsy]

Sorry to barge in like this, but how about extending Option A with the unconscious Lian-Ziu being teleported to 7,13 (or somewhere around there) for easier reviving?

[Xanmyral]

Option A

[CrimsonEon]

I don't have sufficient reason not to go with Option A :v

[Twinwolf]

I vote option A.

[Haspen]

* Haspen hammers da desk.

People's republic of FEF5 hath spoketh ;v

* Haspen will fix&open IC later today.

[Haspen]

Dun fixing. Chalco has full health :v

[GiglameshDespair]

OK, so we need to think about this.

We're in a decently poor situation.

Tentative plan to kill a couple of the enemy:

Chalco moves to 8, 12, stabs Bodyguard A
Cyrus attempts to finish bodyguard off
Titus moves to 11, 14, and hacks at the school reject
Lizbet moves to 12, 14, and javelins the reject
Vera heals galen
Niccole moves to 7, 14, and drops Iolani on 8, 14. Since I don't rememebr how rescuing works if she still has an action she then vulns Iolani.

Next turn, we've all been killed anyway, but this is the best I can come up with the minimum of effort I'm willing to put into planning. It condenses our formation a bit and hopefully bumps off a couple of the foe.
Discuss!

[Culise]

I was asked my thoughts, and so I'm running through the numbers:

Chalco can do 12 damage at a 94% chance to the Failed Bodyguard due to WTA, good odds.  Cyrus does 10 damage at a 50% chance...not so good odds.  If we can get Titus out of the way, Lizbet can move up and Javelin for 10 damage at 94% chances, which should work much better at guaranteeing a kill.  Titus, for his part, can attack Reject A for 14 damage at 71% odds, and Cyrus can finish the job (11 damage) with his Hatchet at 77% odds.  They're not *good* odds by any measure, but better than forcing Cyrus up against the wrong side of the weapons triangle. 

I'm still worried about leaving both Lian and Sen hanging tail-end out with a gap between him and us; it just invites the enemy to close in and block us off, and we're going to be dealing with serious potential losses in the next couple turns.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, I can see why it'd be worrying, but at the moment I'm considering Lian a lost cause. There's no way to safely reach her as is, so we need to trim enemy numbers down first. We could plug the gap next to sen with niccole but that'd leave iolani more vulnerable to the enemy soldier.

Sen is still pretty close to our formation, and while they could cut him off, we'd be able to break through one or two soldiers with consecutive effort with three turns to us. Or we'll all be dead before then.

It's possibly better if we attack in that order, yeah. I didn't do any calcs on it.

... for all Titus and Cyrus complained about the bandit's ambush, it's going pretty alright for them

[Culise]

That can be our epitaph if we all lose this battle.  "Died to a bunch of hooligans with numbers but no style." ^_^

[Swordstar]

Alternative plan that doesn't kill people really but gets almost all of us up on our feet which forces them to divvy up their attacks more. Just figured presenting an alternative might not be a bad idea:

Lizbet to 7-14, give Niccola jav, take Iolani, drop on 7-13
Niccola to 8-12, stab Merc A, canto to somewhere not elsewhere mentioned in plan (8-11?)
Vera to 6-14, heal Sen, canto to 8-14 (or heal Ody since he's almost dead)
Titus vuln Galen
Cyrus vuln Alice
Chalco to 8-12, stab Merc A

Request Irza vuln Lian if she can, Gwen+Ody attack one of the bosses, Titon try and help against that mage


Edit: Also just gonna point out that pitting T2 enemies against a bunch of people who are barely first class was maybe not the best way to balance things. Promo bonus to T2 is +15 stats, which is essentially 5 good levels, which means that Total Level 10 is really more like Total Level 15 and only about half of us are total level 7. So.
