Thomas:

"Possibly. Shouldn't we at least try to find out what's causing it first?"

[Dustan Hache]

"we can send someone to scout out what is going on, if that's what you mean. I'll gladly do it if you prepare the village for the worst."

[FallacyofUrist]

"I would be willing to do that, but I'm afraid I'm not much of a leader."

[Lenglon]

"Me."
I disappear, going invisible and using my Mage-mobility to rapidly go see what caused the noise, selfshifting to improve my balance, mobility, and especially my awareness.

[ATHATH]

"I think we should prepare the village to evacuate. Whatever made that sound is definitely capable of tearing this place to shreds."
attempt to organize some evacuation if the village chief allows it. Better safe than sorry.

Help convince the village chief to allow this.

Then, head to the West while waving a white flag of peace. What little we know about this enemy indicates that it is sapient, and thus can be reasoned with.

[Ozarck]

I am sorry for criticizing your game so much, Egan.

[Egan_BW]

I'll accept that apology.

"The native population is human-arcane hybrids. This phenomenon has never been observed before, and could have unexpected benefits. Further, if we choose to do battle we risk a conflict with entrenched insurgents possessing unknown capabilities. I recommend peaceful contact with the first locals we encounter."

OOC:This setting sounds very interesting. I hadn't thought of pitting mecha against mages before. Makes me want to play Mechassault again.

Egan: How exactly do we DROP titans into combat? Do we have a drop shit or something that lifts entire titans?

[Lenglon]

You walk them over the edge of a cliff. from there gravity takes over.

Right now you're to the west of the village, which is bound by forest to the west and east, the lake to the south, and a steep cliff that rises to the north. If you decide to circle around approach from that direction, ((The North)) you all could drop down fairly easily, though a Titan dropping from that height would kick up some large clots of dirt, which could conceivably cause some damage and would certainly not be a subtle action. Once at the bottom of that cliff, only a Hardsuit would be able to ascend it quickly. Also accompanying you is a small contingent of 10 soldiers, lead by Captain Zrand, who technically outranks you. For now, he's staying silent and letting you figure out what to do, though he says he's going to take his soldiers in from the west regardless, as none of them can drop safely from a cliff or walk along the bottom of the lake

[Egan_BW]

Yes, dropping your titan will involve first getting to a high place, which may be impossible due to lacking any flight capability. However, if you can manage it... well, it still won't be very practical, but it will certainly be impressive.

"Agreed.  I'm the only person here with a hardsuit, I can get out fastest if things go bad, and I'm the least scary, so I'll go in alone.  You all better be ready to support me if they're axe crazy though, I really don't want to be hung out to dry.  Zrand, are your guys good shots?  I think you should stay back, in the trees, take overwatch positions--you're all at the most risk here.  The natives might not be able to crack my armor, but I'll bet a ripvid that they can crack yours, heh."

Ask Zrand to stay back in the trees.  Advance ahead of my allies, and once they're in position to act if necessary, start walking towards the town.  Preferably from the trees.  If all possible, I don't want to fly while within line of sight of the natives.

"Yeah, that sure is a nice hardsuit. Well, good luck with that."

Randomly choose a direction and go in that direction.

"Don't worry about us; these soldiers take care of themselves. But very well, we'll stay in the treeline and cover you."
