The World of Lasgoul

I gotta say, I'm a lil confused. Are we supposed to just kind of make our own enemies to fight?

Also, and I'm not mad or anything, but it seems kind of odd to me to dictate the actions of another character. Like I'm fine with what Vash said about Nicholas but idk, it seems like that kind of thing could go wrong.

The World of Lasgoul

Nicholas follows up behind Veryon once he sees Thirodaen taking care of the gunmen. He uses his shield to slam the guard's halberd aside and swings his sword down for where the guard's neck and shoulder meet. There's no flair or style to his actions, not even a warcry. His combat is plain, but fairly efficient.

lol Celt, made me misspell your character's name. Was checking out char page and realized mistake

"I'd have to agree with Veryon on this. It seems like a bad plan. We're better off just attacking. If something goes wrong while you're in there, I doubt you could fight them off alone. The risk of your idea outweighs whatever information you might manage to gather, if there's anything even worth knowing. Knowing the layout isn't worth very much either, and I doubt you would uncover any secret rooms or the like. Plus even if it succeeds, even if you somehow find out about the organization these people belong to, then what? We can't just leave them. They're extorting the populace. Either way we're going to have to fight, but we may as well do it now instead of sit on our haunches and hope that your incredibly risky plan succeeds. So then, as I said earlier, let's just rush in, and do what each of us does best. Thirodaen, if you would be so kind as to start picking off those guards, I would appreciate it. I am going in. Its about time to get this over with."

Whether or not Thirodaen starts shooting or anyone follows him, Nicholas begins headed towards the gates. Something is clearly going on inside, and the longer they delay, the higher the possibility more people might get hurt. They have no time to stand around bickering, and he will fight his way in alone if he has to, but he hopes that the rest of the mercenaries join.

My post sizes feel so inadequate

Also, how is combat going to work on a forum? Normally I'm used to "enemy takes an action and then I respond and see if it works and so on" but I'd imagine it would work a bit differently here, especially considering the usual post sizes. Though I guess its not impossible to write a few paragraphs about one action, probably

Nicholas waited a bit after asking his question, but as people began talking amongst themselves, he sighed. Eventually he speaks up again, saying

"I suppose rush in and do what you're best at is as good a plan as any. I'll try and capture one, unless anyone else would rather do it."

Nicholas is pretty unsure about how this is all going to go, and feels as though there's a strong chance they might accidentally kill all the bandits. Still, as far as mistakes go, that wouldn't be one Nicholas would be too broken up about. Nicholas readies his sword and shield, getting prepared.

"Either way, I'm ready when you lot are."

The World of Lasgoul

I have no such inhibitions :D

The World of Lasgoul

I was talking about my response, with Nicholas asking his new pals what they can do. Since I know ooc what they can do thanks to the character page, but Nick obvi wouldn't know

The World of Lasgoul

lol I was boutta make a plan but I didn't wanna be meta

The World of Lasgoul

Nicholas surveys where the bandits supposedly make their base. He looks to the rest of the group, speaking up.

"We should probably share with each other our skills, so each one of us knows what the other is capable of and so we might be able to formulate a more informed plan. It will probably help us work better as a team, rather than a loose group of strangers. As far as my own skills go, all I can really say is that I'm handy with both sword and shield."
