((We really couldn't walk away and sneak around, as the wizard could surveille our location easy with the children statues.  We could have tried to join him, but I don't like planning a betrayal until we know how to properly stick the knife in.  From my point of view, landing the first hit that stuck on a minion was worth the whole trouble of bringing him around.))

From IRC:
   midnightjaguar   Yeah, fleshyius is ready for anything that involves large grand actions.

[syvarris]

My action was really just a joke, essentially Sigh continually fleeing from the group until he got too scared of being alone, then fleeing back to then, getting afraid because they're too close, fleeing away, ad nauseam.  It could also be stated as "trail a short distance behind, shoot any enemies that appear", for no practical difference.

((@Bei, Sigh would've shot the thing anyway because it aggressively moved into melee range and the wizard had been getting angrier, but I had honestly been considering shooting for no reason even before.  We had a lot of turns where pretty much everyone was doing nothing, and the Wizard was saying practically meaningless things.  The game was going nowhere, and needed something to happen.))

"Right! Indecision all around. Marcus can solve this!"

"Wh- Don't do anything dumb-"

"CHAAARGE!"

"Oh no no NO NO FOR FUCKS SAKE DAD WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO DO THAT. WE GO IN QUIET!"

"Oh. Marcus sees. Chaaaaaarge!"

"Ugh. Guys, let's just go. Enough talking."

Chaaarge? Alanna and Marcus keep watch, rifles prepared to fire upon hostiles if anyone in the group is spotted or being attacked. In case it's not clear, they also move toward the wizards location. All sneaky like, see?

From IRC:
   midnightjaguar   Yeah, fleshyius is ready for anything that involves large grand actions.

Everyone except Bill decides that the simplist, most direct approach is the best. Beethro leads the charge and its easy to be enthusiastic at the start. After the first few hours running across the wastes, its much harder to muster the same level of energy. They move as quickly as they can for maybe 3 or 4 hours, until they are suddenly confronted by 6 or 7 of those children. The creatures just blink into existance about 30 feet away from the sweat drenched, out of breath group.  The children just sort of stand there in a line, blocking the group's way. Well, sort of, they're standing in a line in an otherwise giant empty area, but blocking their direct path forward.

((Sorry, was at work and waiting for others to do stuff since I'm being excluded from plan Metal Gear due to wizard prejudice.))

Wait for the others to get moving. Once they are out of site, move a bit further around the perimeter of the magnetic field along with my summons. Then imbue "Beacon" into one of the metal acorns, with the intent for it to draw the wizard's attention in an obviously peaceful and non-hostile way. If that works, toss it inside the range of the magnetic field and wait. Don't enter the range of the magnetic field at any point. In fact, I think staying at least 30 yards from the edge of the field at all times with my summons would be best. And use summon senses to monitor for threats or interesting things.

You carefully whisper a word to your metal acorn and then toss it into the danger zone before backing off. The acorn sits around and basically doesn't do anything. After maybe 30 minutes, a single child blinks into existance next to the acorn. It picks the acorn up and stares at it quizzically.

Aim at one of the kids and then freeze, staying utterly unmoving.  Shoot if any of them attack or make particularly threatening movements.

Bill clears his throat. "Hello again. I was hoping you would have a moment to speak with me." He attempts to make contact with the statue child.

Bill attempts to get the attention of the statue child, but stays his safe distance away from the magnetic field with his summons nearby. Continue using summon senses to detect threats or anything else of interest. Keep my golem in reach in case the statue kid tries to attack and I have to smash it, though I hope it won't come to that.

I'm really tired but this thign has been lacking posts so I rolled out the combat. Turned out to be real easy.

Everyone shot at their targets, every single shot bounced off without doing damage. The kids are a fair distance away, but they closed that distance during this turn, they'll be in hugging range next turn. Try not to continue to fuck this up.


Bill: You yell to the child and it turns, definitely noticing you.
