OOC: Yes, let us retreat to the North. We are all in range now for our bows, but they are too many.
IC: Kron yells to the Ice "We must retreat to the North!"
IC: Daphne looks behind and sees Ice and Mud slowing down, she cannot wait for them but since she is an animal trainer, she gives a poweful shout that she usually uses on horses when they are in a situation of danger, the horses normally react quickly and speed off by this sound.
I agree we cannot stop. It is one mile until the opening of the mouth of the canyon. I think we should try to get to the opening and then immediately go each to one side or the other of the opening. We can shoot the bandits one at a time as they enter the opening.
I think we can pick them off one at a time as they enter the opening if we are careful in our planning. As one is firing another can be loading, etc. We can take them by surprise this way.
At least Ice will need to resort to this since she cannot possible out run them with her injured horse.
Let me know who plans to stay and who plans to continue to run and I will post it. When I know who is staying and who is going, we can better plan how we will attack.
My horse is a war horse, so I believe he should be strong enough to make it another mile to the opening if I use my war commands upon him.
If everyone can remind me of their injuries that will help with the planning. Ice is unharmed so her aim should be true. Edited: funbikerchick on 28th Mar, 2005 - 8:19pm
OOC: This is a tough one. On the one hand I realize that Ice is not going to make it very far, and will probably need to stand and fight if the bandits pursue through Death's Mouth. On the other hand we are so depleted (Joe is unconscious, Althea is near death and Mud is burdened with Joe on his horse) that making a stand here might be our last. Plus, if Daphne does not stay back, then it is basically Ice and Kron, with some contribution from Mud and Althea (who is not a warrior). The question is, do we sacrifice a few so that we can return, hopefully with a better plan, or do we possibly risk all our lives to stand and fight?
Ice has proposed we turn to either side of Death's Mouth and use our bows to pick off bandits as they pass through. How many will we be able to pick off before the rest are upon us? Well, what the heck, let's go for it! I have 36 arrows, Ice has 24, Mud has 12, plus Joe's if they are on him, and Althea has 24. Maybe we will luck out and some of the bandits will pursue Daphne, so they will be split 3 ways instead of 2. If the bandits do not pursue Daphne, then I would urge her to turn around and help us, possibly riding back in shooting arrows. I am with you Ice, lets figure out how to do this.
IC: Kron turns to Ice and shouts "I will stay back and fight for as long as I can! Althea and Mud, are you with us?"
OCC: Okay, I bought an RPG hint from the shop. I need to ask a question in order for the GM to give me a hint. What question should I ask? Please answer as soon as possible since the time is flying and we may end up all dead. Thanks.
