If Alice is so confident in her ability to distract the guards, and Gwen is so confident in her ability to snatch up prisoners, then both of them can do that. We'll hit one tree, Gwen hits another on the other side of the retreat and Alice distracts the guards.

Step between them.

"Stop. This argument is counterproductive, especially right now. We're right next to a camp of hostiles! Gwen, you make a distraction, and sprint over to the edge of the forest and blink away before you can get hurt; hopefully they'll keep looking for you afterwards. Alice will aid the distraction if they don't. I'll head into town once they're gone; once you return to the flow of time, Gwen, you can help me find some people. Acceptable?"

((I mostly blended bits of their plans into some whole cloth, to avoid favoritism, which I suggest avoiding.
Also, I'll be civil. As civil as the topic and others allow, at least.))

Ninja'd, I like Grek's idea better. Still step between them and scold them for arguing this close to the enemy.

I second Greks motion, and GreatWyrmGold's amendment.

I move to the previous question.

Yeah, I was thinking this too!
To be honest, I'm not sure what Alice's plan was.  She pretty much wanted to do this, but have Gwen sit out.  Dunno why.

When we attack, maybe we should just do some eon + dark manipulation?  Have 'em shoot at each other, then freeze the survivors?
I think we have a little was to go until we're at fighting strength.

Something magicky, probably involving eon manipulation. I prefer not to plan too far ahead. Sending some of the leaders or best combatants into the future could help; demoralization, if nothing else.

What about dark manipulation?  It is night, after all.  We might be able to trick them into shooting each other, which would do more damage than just warping.

True, we could summon images of shadowy beasts that arn't real to run around and case panic, maybe using eon manipulation to occassionally catapult a body (or body part) into the future to make it seem like the "monsters" are doing stuff.

Frightening to the victims, possibly delightful to the PC.

Tell Gwen to keep an eye out for good potential converts, then send her in while we make a distraction with Alice. We have fire manipulation now - a burning house or two should make a fantastic distraction.

I prefer my previous suggestion, it creates more panic and chaos, and can easily be performed alongside another initial distraction. That way we have things going on all over the place and potential enemies won't be sure how to respond to the multiple threats. If you want to set a house-tree on fire in addition to that i guess i could be game, but doing yet another thing seems a chore.

Agreed. The plan is already complicated enough without us having to light it on fire as well.
