Bay 12 Games Forum

Well I've learned today that the group I have ventured to... party around with... is effectively a bunch of children. Tactics are mostly undecided in moments of action, and the bickering is comparable to a gang of street urchins. It would have and should have been simple today, it was just a simple order of go into a particular cave tunnel and clear it of undesirables. Things started getting... awry, and of course half the group starts panicking and getting cowardice real fast. Their inferior eye sight caused me to almost go blind as one of them decided the dark cave was too much for them and light it up like daylight. As well as the almost... funny fact rather, that only me and some kindred of animals or some sorts were able to actually climb this shaft we came upon to continue further into the tunnel. I watched a few of the others try to climb it... some of them three times while still failing. It was certainly amusing to watch until these spiders that everyone was worrying about decided to come at me and the other person. They were pretty big for spiders I suppose you could say, but they weren't... giant. Quite a few of them tried attacking me to and all of them save one couldn't even get a good bite on me. Pathetic. I managed to hack one up and was about to take out another one before again, these... children decided now was a good time to argue over the rest of them climbing up where we were, or for us to go to them, because apparently fights need to be catered to their whims. The one spider that actually managed to get in between my armor managed to slow me down a little... down to the standards of some lesser being but not enough to cripple me. I guess someone decided finally for us to go back down and retreat and be full of cowardice and... just be idiots. Me and the other person jumped down the shaft while some magic need-er set everything on fire then I climbed back up there while everyone else had to use a rope and tried to get at something else that was still moving, but everything was finished off before I could... Such a disappointment of a fight.

We found some meager items and decided to pause for a break... It makes me... furious that their poor decisions and childish ways have cost me kills.
