Some other place

I'm not involved and I want to see the votes

[GiglameshDespair]

Much like these other chumps it'd make sense for me that Roux and Berty have been with the group only a short time. Roux probably knows any long-timers though from her horsethief days, which is why they're with this group.

[Gaterhyme]

Whatever fits best, I guess. Liam doesn't have a connected backstory so I can be flexible.

I'd probably skew towards more recent as well though - doesn't really make sense to me for someone mostly there for the loot and not the cause to be one of the longer-running members.

IC thread is up!

[Twinwolf]

Esther's probably been with this cell longer than Sharne - I'd guess about a month and a half to two months.

[CrimsonEon]

Kaldach has likely been with this cell for a fair while longer than most, though he probably hasn't been with any more than one other cell. The way I see it, he was probably recruited by this cell and performed a number of prison breaks with them as the ranks got larger.

[Sirus]

Sam has been with several different cells, though most have been quickly demolished or never got beyond the planning stages. She probably would not have been with this group all that long; say, a month or so.

[Aliemma]

Farra has been here around 2 weeks, however, they have been on-and-off. Those weeks were her trying to make meager profits separate with a rebel group -one of tradesmen- but to no avail. The products were constantly getting stolen, and she had just been caught in a government raid of her trade group. She got away, but none of the products did.
(Also, I'm so sorry I'm late, but I was out with no internet :/)

[Lucus Casius]

Martyn showed up five minutes ago, if that wasn't clear.

[Blade Master Model 42]

If you guys have any questions about the odd stuff going on for this map, just ask here.

[Gaterhyme]

Hmm. Do we have a terrain guide? I assume hills cost 3 MOV and forests cost 2, as usual?

Edit: The only reason I ask is because Liam's in a sorta bad spot if we want to let the wagon train blunder into the middle of our group before attacking with our guaranteed crits. With 4 MOV, he can't reach any terrain tiles except the ones that the people on the left are already standing on. So figured it was best to check.

Second edit: Also, is Martyn missing a Crit rate on his sheet?

[Lucus Casius]

Slightly confused.  Do normally non-mounted characters count as "dismounted" for our purposes?  It seems like not, but if I'm wrong, it will be impossible for some of us to reach concealment that can prevent the enemy from spotting us on the EP.

[Gaterhyme]

One more question for the road - probably dumb one too - crit roll 1 isn't equal to guaranteed crit, is it?

For example, if Kaldach (with a crit rate of 2) attacks an Archer (dodge 4) from concealment, no crit?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

<Stirk>Probably meant 8-12 then :p
- Ursali quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
<Lucus>Hm
<Lucus>Let me look.
<Stirk>Column 8, row 12
<Lucus>I would suggest further up.
<Lucus>We want them to lose their escape route to the top.  That low, and most of the train will be bottled up towards the bottom and can just turn around.
<Lucus>Personally, I'd suggest 5-7.
<Lucus>That way, wagons will have no method whatsoever of getting around the snag without one of their units destroying it.
<Lucus>That way, wagons will have no method whatsoever of getting around the snag without one of their units destroying it.
<Lucus>Now, I'm getting a hint of a plan.  What we want to do is let the train get far enough up that they're past martyn's and sam's current position on the road.
<Lucus>That'll take four turns, assuming the wagons move five each time.
<Stirk>Right. That looks good.
<KingMurdoc>asaswut
<KingMurdoc>is it fef6 or castle emblem
<Gaterhyme>both P:
<KingMurdoc>SDFHNO;IALJ
<Stirk>I kinda figured we would wait until we have them surrounded, everything is kinda designed for us to do that :p
<KingMurdoc>i was just about to go to beeeeed
<Lucus>Yeah.
<Gaterhyme>also, we should probably be careful - if we let them go too far in the middle of us, we'll have a hard time forming back up after the ambush
<Gaterhyme>we only have one healer, pretty sure
<Hatkitty>KingMurdoc
<Hatkitty>y u no tell Zetaark will show up V:<
<Lucus>I feel like the idea is to let them get slightly /past/ us, and get blocked by the snag for a little bit.
<Lucus>Either the attackers will focus on the snag, buying us a couple more rounds to make away with a couple of wagons.
<Lucus>Or they'll abandon the snag, and take a bit longer getting to us.
<Stirk>I thought we were supposed to kill them all :-/
<Lucus>That's the hope.
<Lucus>But we don't want to deal with all of them at once.
<Gaterhyme>as long as we're not fighting on both sides, i guess
<Lucus>Any one of those soldiers is stronger than any one of us.
<Stirk>I was gonna place the snag closer so it would take effect without us having to move too far, if I place it back there we'd have to wait a bit longer
<KingMurdoc>idk
<Stirk>We are in defensive positions though, the hills and forests are on our side for now
<Lucus>If we place it too far forward, we're going to end up in the middle of them.
<Lucus>Which we don't want.
<Lucus>We only want to deal with one end of the train at a time.
<Gaterhyme>eventually the hills and forests will betray us
<Lucus>If we get both sides collapsing down on us, we're doomed.
<Lucus>Ergo, best to keep the snag further back, give them longer to reach it.
<Lucus>10, 6 is actually another good location.
<Stirk>Then we fight their tail end, wouldn't they get away?
<Gaterhyme>5-7's a bit far back, anyway. They're only 15 long.
<Lucus><Stirk>Then we fight their tail end, wouldn't they get away?
<Lucus>That's what the snag's for.
<Lucus>It gives us a couple rounds to deal with the tail end.
<Gaterhyme>might be good to put this in the ooc, too
<Lucus>I'll c/p

[GiglameshDespair]

I was gonna make a blush mug for Roux to use the next day, but then the map moved on while I slept. C'est la vie.

Yeah, this could get pretty brutal. It could be a problem,  all the enemy soldiers bunched up like that.

No, only characters who have the horseback skill are counted as dismounted.

That is correct, and hits aren't effected or guaranteed either.

As for the terrain guide: whoops. It's pretty standard though, and I'll get it into the 1st post tonight
