not gonna use them as expendable crewmen? You know, red shirts, brown leather - practically the same.

And the last two pages of Q/A posts is why I'm happy to just be the party's Fighter/Thief

So we save them use them and use them as fodder?

They were in charge of Galen and the Triplets and they certainly would not want to go face the Queen Yolanda without Galen or the Triplets!

Are you nuts? If these guys have been dropped by leeches outside the dungeon, they are going to be less than useless to us inside. At best, they soak a few HD of damage.

Then, they die.

Then, we have their blood on our hands.

If they insist on going along (it's their idea), Arien would not deny them... but there's a reason Yolanda summoned what amounts to a group of heroes, rather than send more nameless hunters to save her son.

I saw this on Twitter and thought of you guys.

"Killer DM"??? I have raised "killer DM" to a whole new level. I'm now the "you wish I would just kill you DM"

Had to buy another laptop late this afternoon!

As I understand it The plan in brief is

Arn - Levitate and Cut down
Lin - Fly and Carry
Jar - Watch and FF prepared
Fin - Watch and prepare flute
Spa - Watch and Bow ready
Ody - Watch with True Seeing
Max - Watch with Axes ready
Kad - watch with Crossbow ready

If I have made the wrong assumption here, let me know please.

...what I believe I read, too.

I want to make sure before I start writing and let the chips fall where they may.

Has her Flute prepared but was also ready to use Feather Fall if necessary!

Once the Hunter Elves are all gathered on the bridge she can play her Flute and cast Cure Light Wounds while playing!

...chips!

... for me.

My understanding was that Arien and Lun would fly/levitate, cut down a victim, carry to a third person, have Jarenion cast. Drop the victims (Arien cuts down #3). We repeat that process, uses two castings.

I was just looking for the short term plan
