Sorry.  I was really hoping for Cyrus to move so I could use my javelin without retaliation, let him take care of the archer with his superior damage output, and stick to the hills to help with evasion against my low HP until the next turn came around, but if need be, I'll take the open terrain.

Nobody is the 'planner' for FEF5 from what we've seen and nobody wants to take up the mantle (for good reason), so we're trying to go back to how we did things in (parts of) FEF1.

So we have to have a heavier focus on communication and idea spinning instead of how we got used to doing things and push it off to being "the planner's problem." If you had a better or different idea than the really brief (honestly just an excuse as to why we haven't posted our actions yet and a basic thought of what we might do) one we had, we would have loved to hear it instead of having it being a drive-by comment that was too late to act on.

We hoped Lizbeth would move too, but we said so openly, said why and presented a possible scenario, and didn't commit on the actions on the case that we or someone else might have thought of something better since it involved other people's characters. In this scenario it doesn't really matter because besides the two bosses or unfortunate circumstance we aren't really in any sort of honest danger, but that makes it a good test bed to get the process straightened out.

TL;DR
Don't apologize, converse.
And

Communication is key and all that.

On the note of communication, and to not double post, FOE and I are debating some Galen-Football (read: trade shenanigans mixed with rescue shenanigans) to retain defensive terrain and to move our heavy artillery that is Galen away from the soon-to-be sea of red frontline. Since having six or so enemies who can punch out our squishy but powerful mage is worrisome.

Cynbel decided to take the captain up on his offer readily, moving from the boat to the sands and easing his cramped muscles. The Son of the Wild couldn't quite say he greatly enjoyed travel by ship. Too confining. Too out of his element. But the man is determined to learn to enjoy it somehow.

But that is later. For now, his curiosity is peaked. "Abandoned? Unrepairable? Curious." The Son of the Wild gestured towards the rotting longboat. If this area was so well traveled, he's surprised it wasn't stripped for parts or wood if it was useless. Surely it can't be too recent if its rotting...?

"I'll be the first to admit that I'm not familiar with magic, but walls between don't mean much to getting a bead on your targets, do they?" It was an honest question.

"I'm here to stop their charge and gain us the initiative, there isn't much point to staying after." Aur was confused, but tried not to show it. Was it normal for mages to want to rush into rooms filled with enemies first? Miranda isn't exactly a normal mage, though, but Noel seemed more proper. Perhaps not?

"You and I have very different mindsets." There was no other jab or chide, the shaman merely confused.

"No idea. MMO story-lines tend to be pretty questionable in quality. Can't say I care too much, considering our situation."

"Kerr!" Was the heads up his brother got as Aur moved past him to [17,5], positioning himself solidly where the ruined door once was and braced his spear against the enemy's charge.

"Nice work on the door. Think we should knock him unconscious and bring him as a prisoner? Still technically returning him." The knight doesn't seem too worried about the array of forces in front of him as he joked.

"Well, rather hard for people to determine what happens to money when its in your own pocket, eh? But, course, you actually need to take risks and kill things to get it."
