I am officially back sorry everyone my unit got had to go down for a month long training event will either be back on the 11th or 12th and I’ll have a post up.
@Jerkchicken Everybody appears to be still with us plus one more. Everybody is still posting at their normal rates. And I'll keep rping until nobody is left but me... or if life issues get in the way. Also Elevation is back, as he has already noted.
@Jerkchicken@13org@SonofJet@Elevation@HokumPocus@Fetzen That said, due to our irregular posts. I have decided that my official policy for handling characters who have been inactive is to have them tag along until the current main storyline is wrapped up. Then I'll have them go their separate ways. And if the RPer returns later on, then great! We can fit them back in.
Also if anyone ever needs to take a break, just let me know if you can! I understand. RPing isn't a job. Its just for fun :)
I wanna fight through the mob and tree woman. But I'm also aware that freeform combat also kinda sucks especially with like super long protracted battles.
You're aware of what in regards to freeform combat? Not sure I completely understand the second sentence
I understand the first sentence though lol. I'm alright with you enacting your own plans to assist with the escape. This gives @Fetzen's character a chance to meet up with yours. So it might not be a bad idea.
@HokumPocus's character could use illusions of us to assist in distracting the cultfrom the real you, and if someone else wants to split off with you that could increase your chances of success. @Elevation Is this something your character would like to help with? He seems like someone who wouldn't be opposed to a little action.
However even with illusions, the plan is risky and would put the Innkeeper's family in danger. So assuming protecting the family is a priority for our characters, we may want another means of escape for them. AKA, the roof tops.
In any case let me give you a heads up of things to be mindful of when fighting through the mob.
Tree woman is not hands on unless she needs to be. Most Sightless are like that. That said, she's not push over. If you attempt to attack her out in the open, her minions will converge on you after you. That means dealing with magic users and cultists who have Magic deterrents. They maybe aren't the most skill combatants, but they have numbers.
If we toss illusions into the mix. That will take most of the Cultist's attention off up until the point the illusions disappear. Lumen Vocasion Illusions last 2 - 5 mins depending on the quality of the glass's opaqueness. Keep in mind Tree woman will see through the illusions because they are made of light.
If we split off into two groups, one on the ground and the other group on the roofs, Tree woman will be forced into action since she A) can reach the roof tops with her abilities, and B)The illusions will have fooled everyone but her.
Last thing to be mindful of, she doesn't know what you look like. Sightless dim the light around them. This helps them know what's near them. So once you get in range of attack, will become aware of what you look like and it will become more difficult to hide.
I think I will make my post end with my character arriving in rather close proximity to the tavern. So it doesn't get too long and gives the opportunity of an encounter between mine and any other character who tries to make his way out of the tavern the straight way. How does that sound ?
