Gregor glanced at the young mage as he prepared to leave.

: "Ms Torriani, I think you would be most helpful with the group heading south. They're good people, and will need your assistance."

He shook his head.

: "Be careful. I'm sure your colleagues would be most upset if you and your friend got hurt helping a bunch of mercenaries."

So is Daniel going to run over to the elite lancer to steal his goodie and then come back, or are Charlotte's and Valor's groups going to switch sides? Or are we just gonna ignore that sweet, sweet Luck?

Elite Lancer A is in the direction Greglotte and Daniel are already headed (assuming Emral agrees).

Also, Ami could probably benefit the most, going by stats.

Derp. I was looking at Elite lancer B for some reason >_>

Also yeah, +1 to Ami getting extra luck. She could probably use it.

Wait, that only works for unequipped items. However, I did find this tidbit:

Goddess Icon    +3 LCK on use // Only Elite Lancer A!

Holy shit, Daniel can steal that from the west lancer!

Don't enemies usually drop that sort of thing on death? They do in the games, IIRC.

I think that's everything. Thoughts?

I still say going west is unnecessary (except possibly for plot, but even then I'd remain at the temple) and the only reason to go east is in case that axeman leaves his allies behind to rush the house up there. Any other action and we'll have plenty of warning as they slog through the trees.

I'm anticipating reinforcements arriving from the north-west, as the boss probably won't move unless we've obliterated a decent amount of his soldiers or not at all. Moving to the west and cornering them in the tightest bottleneck we can will hold them up (assuming I'm not just being overly-paranoid).

Your argument about the east makes sense, but from an IC standpoint it does make sense to make sure that flank is covered as well as possible.

I know what Gregor is doing; he's gonna be following Charlotte and Daniel west to hold that section. If Gregor parks at (7,5) and Daniel at (7,3), then Charlotte can sit in between the two and fire on targets of opportunity.

Valor, Derrick, and Tantallos can head east to hold that section of trees. They can either hide in them for the evasiveness bonus (which might give them a vital edge) or wait just outside the forest to lure enemies into the open. Seyena can rejoin them once she's done with the southern houses for her support bonus with Valor.

The rest (including the new mages) can head down the middle, since that's where the majority of enemy forces will likely go. Should be quite a few support bonuses down there, like with Ami and Chris. Olison can rejoin them or reinforce one of the other major groups.

Any enemies that sneak past all of that will have to deal with Alexander, the two swordsmen, and the two magic-users. The baddies shouldn't last long.

I think that's everything. Thoughts?

We'll get one sooner or later, no worries. Hopefully at the end of this fight, assuming the library is still standing and we haven't been seen as irredeemably evil by the monks

With Haspen as the GM...

A healthy sense of paranoia is usually justified
