Sad times. I guess this campaign really did die out on us.
Best of luck to everyone!

yeah... I keep checking everyday. Maybe he went on vacation and forgot to mention it to us?
"I do believe that because Svetlana and anyone else that should not be in this fight will be in the main hall, we should have someone inside there to be able to launch an attack and drive them away from that direction. I would consider it a great folly on our parts if we are all to rush from only two directions and send them directly into the main hall. Would anyone be willing to defend the entrance or at the very least rush out of the main hall to deter the bandits from entering?"
"I believe it wise to keep your wife out of harms way as well. It looks as if the stable will be a good place for me to wait as it provides a direct route to the tables where the taxes will be. Perhaps if we have some hide in both of the buildings to either side of the tables. That will leave one of us to sneak in behind to close the gates before joining the rest of us to incapacitate the bandits."
Knowing that the hot-head is only half right in her assessment, Jarvis decides it best to point out the main problem in her plan before she gets others killed. "I agree that we cannot let them escape and send for reinforcements. However, if we are to lock them in, it is not a simple matter of trying to take them down swiftly. If they see newcomers, they might get suspicious and attack. If the normal people of this outpost are on the grounds when we lock the doors, these people may get hurt or worse. We cannot have anything different happen up until the point when we attack. There can be almost nothing out of place. It seems that they are getting complacent. I think our best course of action is to reinforce that complacency. Let them think everything is normal, and then strike when their guard is completely down." Turning to Oleg, Jarvis says, "Please, give us as many specifics as you can as to how this meeting normally takes place. We need to know everything, from the moment they are in sight until the moment they are gone."
"I think that Valmier and I will wait in the stables. If they are to head straight into this building," says Jarvis as he indicates the building marked as A4, "then I can charge at them from the left and hopefully divide them while I rear around for another attack. We will need to move those tables outside though so that we may use the enclosing areas around the open center of this outpost better to our advantage."
"Though I choose to not kill under the guise of deceit, a surprise attack may work to our benefit. If we can establish a flank, and a fair number of volunteers, we may be able to apprehend these bandits before any real battle begins. Should they choose not to surrender, then we will have no choice but to bring them to justice," says Jarvis to Thomas's implied comment. He then turns to Svetlana and Oleg, "What can you tell us about the town's defenses? Do you have anywhere to keep prisoners? And what of any medics or town healers?"
"Though I cannot speak for everyone, i will not reject your humble request. I will do my best to aid you in this endeavor," says Jarvis, still remembering his edict promised upon entry to his order.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Svetlana. We are here by order of Restov to aid in your defenses as well as see to the exploration of Greenbelt. We would be ever so gracious if you could fill us in on anything of note," replies Jarvis with a slight nod and bow. Taking a moment, Jarvis tries to jog his memory to see if he has heard or knows anything of note about Svetlana or others that might be of nobility in the area. Granted, he knows it would be an oddity for someone of note to be out in this area.
Normally more accustomed to traveling by mount, Jarvis leads Valmier on foot so that he may keep a more appropriate eye level and pace with the others in the group. Jarvis nods in agreement to both Thomas and Kearan. "Yes, I believe you are both correct. And while we are out this outpost, we should make sure to fill our supply bags," adds Jarvis.
Finally finished Jarvis's equipment and mount. Everything in Alias.
Yay! I will do not best to get my final stuff finished. Was waiting until i knew for sure or not.
Still working on my character, but he should be ready tonight or tomorrow. Decided that I would go human instead of halfling so that I would be more useful now vs. later. I am going Order of the Sword and hoping to use the Gendarme archetype from Ultimate Combat. |
