Been a very busy weekend, and I'm glad everyone is having fun posting and rping away! Update to come monday or tuesday, maybe even late tonight if I'm feeling up to it. Hang in there folks! :p

I've got to ask...

Is Leanderia going to lead the way to the bandit camp or will the captured bandit leader?

Because, if Leanderia knows the way then it makes sense to 'dispose' of the bandit leader... unless someone has some plan involving him.

Leanderia could lead the way to the bandit camp, and you guys are completely free to do what you want with the bandit, but remember he is your prisoner and just outright killing him might be seen as being a little bit more evil or something, just a heads up ;P

Yea, Leanderia would be against just outright killing the captive bandit. What happens to him, I guess really depends on what happens in the fight to come.

Maybe we can convince him to tell us which tent the family is in, and where Leanderia's weapons are.

So, what are Leanderia's chances of sneaking back into the camp (or someone else in the group doing so) to find the family in the event the bandit won't tell them?

Might be worth a shot to get them out of harm's way before the fighting begins. Fact is, they are currently slightly outnumbered. There should be 7 bandits in the camp at this time. One was kicked unconscious, but he may have come to by now. *shrugs*

He'd no doubt have a score to settle with Lea, because of her kicking his gonads, and relieving him of his remaining teeth.

SO...thoughts?

1. Anyone have the abilities/skills to sneak into the camp to check the tents for the family and try to get them out before they attack? And would Leanderia have a chance of succeeding at such an undertaking?

2. What do we do with the captive bandit? We can't watch him and fight at the same time, but it may not be very smart to just leave him unattended...So what should we do about him?

More evil or less evil then making him lead us to the bandit camp and then killing everyone including him?

Yer, your right. Killing a prisoner won't sit well with many of our characters.

Emergency planning meeting needed between the whole group!

Val is going to propose that we trade prisoners, the bandit leader for the family.

EDIT: But just to make sure they don't double cross us we should have snipers hiding in the brush.

Jozan, would it be at all possible to provide us with a map of the campsite? Leanderia can tell them there are 3 tents, and that there are 7 bandits left ('cause she killed one when they first captured her, the group killed three and has one in custody, and she had knocked one out, but he could be awake by the time they get there)

So a map to let us know what we're looking at when we arrive at the camp would be most helpful.

I figure we could all post that we are at the camp and what our next moves are gonna be before Jozan has to update...??

thoughts?

Jozan, in your update could you include Val scouting the bandit camp?

Val is going to scout around the edge of the bandit camp looking out for where the bandits are gathered, positions of things in the camp and looking for silhouettes inside the tents to see if he can work out where the family is.

Val will keep well inside the edge of the forest and take his time scouting, no point in rushing it.

One would assume that in Leanderia's state of fight-or-flight response she would not be able to remember the exact route back (relying on scant images in her mind of significant landscape she rushed passed to go back on). We have to remember it was her first time really venturing into the area too. From what we understand the Prisoner has been active in the area, and, as Basyl has hinted, should co-operate if he wants to keep his life.

Otherwise Basyl is all for being a loud distraction to draw the attention of the bandits. The degree to which it is a violent one depends on a quick survey of the camp. He's got the speed to move about (and dodge and mobility to boot). While he keeps them busy someone, say Uryuu could go to free the family. Leanderia is in heavy, noisy, somewhat encumbering armor and should let another act in her place to free them. That being said she will definitely save us from the trouble to come.

I forgot the update, sorry guys. I'll see what I can do asap.

I'm writing the update right now, it'll be done tonight. But something came up this very moment and I gotta make some phone calls and maybe head out soon, but it's being typed up as we speak!

I am very anxiously waiting for the update. None of the games I am in have done anything for the past several days, so it's driving me nuts wanting to write something!

If I missed anything, ANYTHING in the update, please tell me. If something is wrong with it i'll gladly edit it to fix. I've just been dealing with college bills, financial aid woes, loans and having to deal with getting hours cut from work and money problems :/

So, if it's not up to par it'll get back on track, and if i missed any actions anyone did please let me fix it for you!

light green = shrubs/bushes
grey = boulders
dark green = trees
dark grey = cliff face
brownish ground = hard packed dirt

If everyone could, just respond with actions and conversation on how you are going to take on the camp, the rest of thr group is right behind val, just not on map.

Right, spot check to see if Valandril can determin which tent the prisoners are in... likly to be the one that appears to be guarded however.

I'd also like to know, as I think it could prove to be helpful, how climb-able the trees are and if they are big enough to suport someone.

If the rocks are big enough to hide behind would also be useful...

I've been tied up with things IRL, but I should be around a bit more now. Ideally, I think we are waiting on Valadrin's scout report before we dive into things.
