Of course, he would take out a few wargs first...assuming there are more than one.

If you want to do that, it would work.

I don't think we should encounter more than a couple of wargs, though, or otherwise we have to make our characters die and lose the battle, unless they use some cunning master plan. A group of five civilians, one of whom is a mere child, and two warriors doesn't stand a chance against a big group of wargs. I think six is a definite maximum, but that would require heroic deeds from both our warriors and very good luck in both staing alive and killing monsters for our civilian's part.

Will someone else die? I have nothing against killing Leanora per se, but it would probably be too grim considering the current tone of the RPG*. And there are some characters who deffinitely shouldn't die, such as Orin.

I hope no one feels like I'm nannying them if I say this, but I would like to ask anyone to stay within the boundaries of realism when the battle comes and make their characters fare according to their skills and not make them superheroes...

*it just occured to me that I want to make a very dark and grim RPG some time...

If you kill Leanora, I'll kill... wait, no, I wont, but still...

You can't kill Leanora.

I saved that spot because I think I see a fun opportunity for Kuric to be hasty and not think things through very well.

I posted. I hope it works. It's still fairly open what could happen.

Great post mormegil! It looks like our little band of missfits will be off and running very soon!

I've been noticing that my character has taken control of the defenders and has been leading them. I think that I shall lay low for awhile and let some of ya'll lead the group instead of Gorin.

Man, I am a miserable excuse for a game owner. You guys are so awesome for keeping this going.

I'll read up and try to get back into things, following you guys' guidance as to where the game is going, so you at least have another player, unless you'd rather I stay out rather than coming back again. ><

Sorry x a million.

Thinlómien · 05-26-2008, 09:59 AM

Never mind, Durelin - RL happens. I'm just glad to see you back.

Hurrah, it's great to have you back, Durelin!
