Wow! what an update from malchik! We made it guys! Out of the fryingpan and in to the fire
(wonder why we got rings for 3 groups instead of 2 though, probably to keep the story credible)

[dragonben]

Well this moves things along a bit, lets see, I propose we will need the thiefs (they can decide who is infront) at the front (to check for traps and clues), then at least one fighter right behind them for backup (Frog will take this position if no one have a problem with that) then we need to decide who's next in line and Sonnoba to take up the rear (so he can heal the rest -and we need someone strong to cover our backs)

Tell me what you guys think? Did I leave anything out?

Just hope Frog survives the impending battle.

[CertifiableX]

Dragonben's plan sounds good to me. We just need to make sure to search for signs of use in the tunnels to figure out which way to go.

Also, I drew up a little map of what I got from Malchik's update and I'll try to keep it up the date with our movements. It If you guys see anything that should/n't be in there, let me know.

I'l cover your backs

[Thread_Whisperer]

I saw them a little bit more like this... though the front room sizes I am really not sure of I believe there is a cavern room as well though...



I could be way way off... but I am pretty sure there is a cavern room and tunnels lead off of the cavern room rather then branch away from main tunnel...

Oh and also I left the wall in place over the cavern entrance because he says that the only visable way out is through the main cellars...

So we need to definately have a look around and I would suggest one of us doing a detect illusion spell, Trebbits is very capable of that but it might be better left to a mage instead.

Damn I've just been informed that my service provider will be upgrading the server tomorrow and Sunday. I should be able to post tomorrow morning but then I'll be offline till Sunday (don't know till what time but I hope to be back Sunday evening.)

I'll get Frog's actions sorted out (general actions so you guys can use him in the group, I think we will need every man, elf, lizard, cat and goodluck fairy to survive this battle.)

To make it a bit easier to deside what he will do I'll give you his character sheet and a brief description.

Name: Frog in tree (Frog)

Race: Argonian

Age: 28

Weapons: Steel spear

Armour: Chainmail curtass with a self-repair enchantment (5 charges)

Potions: 2 standard healing

scrolls:

Enchanted: Amulet of detect creature (6 charges), ring of night eye(constant effect - thanks to a chest)

Spells:
Illusion: Chameleon, Light, silence and invisibility
Mysticism: Dispell, Detect Enchantment


Frog served as a border guard in his village, guarding mostly against Slavers and monsters (who start to think that adding lizard to their diet was a good idea.) To accomplish this they worked together in teams of four, tracking the enemy and using, usually the night to attack the enemy. They would try to let no one escape and they killed all the enemies they caugth.

They were taught the illusion and mystisism spells by the village shaman - a old lizard woman in Frogs village- after word got out that they were responsable for the deaths of the slavers and the slavers started using magicians and setting magical and mechanical traps and wards. Even though the Argonians don't disarm the traps they can detect them and leave them intact to have their enemy create a minefield of traps for the next raiding party.

When they attack their enemy they would use chameleon to hide themselfs and employ guerilla tactics to confuse and demorilize the enemy, causing them to think they were being attacked by a much larger force.
Frog have a very basic knoledge of herbalism - enough to know what tipes of igredients to use to heal minor wounds and to stop bleeding - effective on Argonians in any case as poisons have no effect on them, that is also why Frog would not try to heal any comrades exept to stop bleeding and then carrying the wounded to a healer if available.

Being the village champion and excelling in the use of the spear and unarmed combat, he was elected by the tribal counsel to go into world and seek out the source of the vision the shaman saw. This is the first time he "really" ventured out of Black March and enterd the world of man and elf. He quickly realised that not all elfs and humans are out to enslave the Argonian and Kajit races and he also realised that he would have to work with these people if he is to complete his quest - He even start to think he could befriend those he travel with at the moment.

Hope this help to use Frog in the quest tommorow and Sunday

I edited my post to make sense, Rif is now in the right location. I think Dragonben's idea sounds about right. Fonzie and I can decide if Rif or Gratch goes first while Frog should cover from behind. Next should come Bradas then Sonnaba and Trebbits. Bringing up the rear should be Fadril.

My reasoning is this;
1. With Sonnaba towards the back he can see the rest of the group and can act on faster for healing.
2. Frog's spear can reach farther and is thin, easily thrust past a friend's shoulder at a coming attacker
3. Fadril as the rear guard puts a strong fighter at our back and can give us the chance we need to defend ourselves adequately.
4. The rogues in front is obvious and seems to be agreed upon.

I understand that it's likely to end up that the characters in back will see less action and will play more of a support role but I think this is thesafest way to go. If anything maybe we should have one rogue, Frog, then the other Rogue since both Rif and Gratch are good with bows and, again, Frog's spear is very uesful in these cramped quarters for an advanced attack.

[CertifiableX]

We may want Fadril further towards the front: as a dedicated fighter I think he would be more useful there. Sonnaba should be able to hold the rear until help can arrive, but it's up to you guys

We should also figure out our positioning if we emerge from the tunnels into a large open area...

PS: Posts edited as well...

Hehe, dragonben...didn't know that morrowind has heared of guerilla's...since I think that word orriginates from the guerilla's....a terrorist-group excisting only in this world

As for the order.....I'm with Rif's tactic...sounds very good...and since we are indeed in a one-way tunnel.....it is wise to have a strong man in the back..remember that there are 2 other ways that could contain monster that would later stumble upon our but..

[Povuholo]

i think i should be somewhere in the middle. Attacking, but not having the daedra standing in front of me right away, since Bradas can't fight in close combat. Then he would either keep shooting from close and gets hit, without any special protection on. Or he would run away, to get distance, which would ruin the formation we walk in. So i suggest that i walk in the middle, fighting wherever monsters are coming from. That way i can go help at the back when they get attacked at the back, and attack at the front when they are attacked at the front. And if they are attacked on both sides... well... we will see about that, i'm not the only one fighting.

I got a few scrolls that have massive healing, meaning it'll heal multiple creatures. So i can heal the whole group a bit, when they don't have time to do it for themselves individualy.
Ofcourse every time i say "they" i mean our group, so i should've said "we".

And please, keep my cloning spell in mind, i'm dying to use it.
