I still think my mobility will save my ass. Horses ftw. Plus I assume the bulk of their forces are still Kerns? Maybe some who want payback for the kidnappings? If I can break them, hopefully this'll start a domino effect and, if it doesn't break the Nightfell gallocemen, hopefully once I blow my horn, it'll make greenfeather shit its pants and believe its all of Nightfell thats running away and leaving them to face us all alone.

@Wernher

Yeah, it IS a good plan. Like I said, it has risk, but it IS a good plan.

Masters of the Hidden Valley

On tactics: you don't need to get super detailed about your tactics in the OOC. I'd MUCH prefer you guys be able to summarize within a paragraph or two at most what your battle plan is and save longer text for the IC itself.

If it can't be summarized within two paragraphs, it's probably too complicated. I think what you wrote CAN be summarized within a paragraph, but from now on that's my rule on tactics. Please make it clear and concise.

So, with that said: this plan sounds perfectly reasonable to me. You're going to hide your archers in tall grass, taunt the Nightfell warriors, then fall back and let your archers do their dirty work. And then you'll charge 'em if they don't break, or retreat if that fails. (Someone yelling "RETREAT!" at the top of their lungs is enough to manage a retreat order.) However, the bulk of your forces are trying to overpower the Greenfeathers with sheer numbers.

Yeah. Sounds reasonable. It could end VERY badly for you as the leader of the smaller group because Nightfell warriors aren't pushovers. They're highly experienced. But if it were to work, it'd work very well.

I don't need the island at all, I just dislike blank spots on maps :P literally the only reason I took it.

@Isotope

Cool! I'll open it up.

@Thrashy I'll add you to the map once I get home tonight. EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T WANNA BE MY NEIGHBOR YOU JEEEEERK!

DAMN YOU, @Lauder! You stole my neighbor! You sunk my battleship! *Skreeee!*

Okay. So, I'm presently in between classes, but if anyone wants to tell me what they want done when I get home, now's a good time to tell me.

@Shorticus

Alright, now final question. Are there any drummers of war?

@Lauder

...You know what? Yes, AND there are bagpipers of war. We have bagpipes because we're Celtic-inspired.

Middle fingers and warpipers all around.

Oh, and @Willy Vereb Let me know when you get a response from @Isotope about the island, or let me know when you want it removed by if there's no answer, either/or.

Okay, just confirming that @Frengo and I are naming our nation at #23 Ardonia.

@Shorticus

Are the greenfeather's already across the river or are they crossing now?

@Lauder

Mostly across the river. Not entirely, but mostly.

@Shorticus Question: would it be alright if I had Maire prepare bottles of silverleaf tree sap for the battle? People could slather it on their weapons to give them an edge during the raid. Would that cost an action, because I'm fine if it does?

@Lexicon

Hm... because we don't specifically have any bottles of the stuff already, I'll say it costs an action, yes. I'll roll to see how effective it is once the battle goes down.

Masters of the Hidden Valley

@Eklispe is it light or heavy?

@Wernher

The armor is lighter than usual thanks to its composition; therefore, it counts as Light while actually acting as enchanted heavy armor.

@Shorticus

Now, did we receive word on the Orc first? Or did the Nightfell attack first?

@Lauder

Orc situation gets handled first.
