You can post your intentions at any point, ya know...

Posting here to remind Olan that he was totally wasted and promised to start another zombie game but totally wont remember it because he was totally wasted.

Totally.

This happened.

OLAN IF YOU SEE THIS TONIGHT YOU'RE SO WASTED YOU FORGOT YOU'RE WASTED I SWEAR.

..... and I have to leave for most of the day!

I will check back later this evening and begin writing a response!

Enjoyed reading Eol's post and am looking forward to more!

ZOMBIES.

Yay Zombies!!! (Or not... we'll see how it turns out, I suppose.)

Glad you enjoyed the post, Hammer... Looking forward to seeing what the rest of you write up!

Word of warning, though... It's getting ready to rain down rocks on our opponents (I hope) so I'd advise against a headlong rush at the very moment.

When I Post I will make sure that it is clear that Galardil will hold off casting Turn Undead until the hailstorm of rocks have done their duty!

...on casting your Turn spell, my friend. My main concern is that none of the rest of you get physically caught up in the 'downpour'.

Sorry Hammer I will amend my post immediately

...and their confusing names, anyway, eh, Brundel?

And that one half-Syl wearing/bearing the Khord gear is downright flabbergastical! Is he human, is he Syl, is he a really tall beardless Khord? Is he hallucinating? OMG! What the frill is going on?!?!?!

Loving the posting so far, folks!

One request, if you please - ideally, I'd like for you to post a few rounds' worth of strategy at a given time. If we take a week to resolve every combat round, the game will take a very long time, indeed.

For some, this will be easier than for others, I realize that. It would be a good idea if I know your character's basic strategy in various situations.

For instance, if your character has both melee and missile weapons, which do they prefer? Do they take a shot or two, then close to melee, or do they avoid it unless there is no other choice? Do they keep firing, regardless of ammo expended, or do they hold off if it looks like the fight is in hand?

If a spellcaster, what are the favorite spells and strategies? Do they use magic to blast, to support? Do they prefer to conserve spells if possible?

If a melee warrior, do they press the advantage, fight defensively, screen the spellcasters, etc?


Thanks!

...hence my PM to you earlier, boss-type-guy!

Gave this some thought on my drive home from work and, pretty much, I think Jarenion's tactics will be much as my "theoretical proposal" in that PM... Shocksphere to follow the Hailstones if there's no major risk of catching his compatriots in the area of effect (catapult should work as a good alternate if that risk does turn out to be unacceptable), following that, if necessary, we'll "power down" a bit and sling a volley of magic missiles or two, and, of course, should any of the shamblers slip our fighting types and get too close to Jarenion, he'll fight as best he can with his staff (most likely in a defensive-heavy style unless he's sure he can land an effective blow).

Do you want those strategies listed here or at the end of our next posts in game ???

... speak for Olan here but, having played for the man previously, I think it's safe to say that he'd be okay with either option. Typically I go the "tack on intentions in an OOC at the end of my game post" route, myself... just not a frequent mana-slinger so it took me a little bit to make a choice and I decided to post here rather than editing my game post again.

Your insight as a Veteran Gamer in Olan's games is most helpful, so I will probably just include it at the end of my next game posting!

It's nice to know, as a general rule, how your character will carry themselves in combat. That gives me something to fall back in if need be.

However, if you can post some intentions in your game posts as Eol mentions, that will be ideal. In other words, what your intentions are for the immediate situation, then how you'd like to proceed if a happens, perhaps a fallback if b happens.

Thanks! Loving the posting so far.
