This isn't "official" yet. I'm posting this here so I don't forget the idea. (I'm currently dealing with some "not thinking as well as usual" issues.)

When the rebel Venasir turn to look to see who's running behind them, Anoras may yell this: "Which one of you killed the sorcerer Stripes?" while holding up Stripes's mask.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

Remember, Anoras is closest to the Holidor, not the Sorcerers.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

Oh. I must have missed that part. I thought I was behind the rebels. Thanks for telling me!

My post from September 25:

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

From September 26...



At any rate, she is now in shouting distance: does she have anything to shout?

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

I believe I understand now what was intended.

At the time, my thought was Anoras with her Hidden Lore (Sorcery) would know Sorcerers could see things others might miss. After all, at least one had used a bird to see what was going on, including watching Anoras. (And I think I heard other Sorcerers used birds/animals to see as well.) And I thought that it would be hard for Holidor's troops to see her because she was far away, was running through trees, and was behind the rebel Venasir troops. Those would make it hard for Holidor's troops to see Anoras.

And by "behind it," as she planned to join the rebel Venasir, I thought she was behind the battleline. That is, the rebel Venasir battleline.

Honestly, I likely would have done something different had I understood where Anoras was in relationship to the battle. Anoras might have approached from the side, not from behind. Both sides might have seen and recognized her. And both sides might have thought of her as their ally.

If you want to keep that Anoras went behind the Holidor troops, I'm going to have to rethink this.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

Direction of approach does not indicate allied status, do keep that in mind.

If she was approaching from the side she would have arrived later, I think.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

I actually do understand that. Why I was thinking both sides would see her as an ally was because:

1) Holidor knew someone called Healer Anoras was coming--and Cassandra would recognize her

2) The Venasir rebels would recognize her as someone who healed their wounded

I can certainly see that could be possible, depending upon everyone's relative positions. It's just that, in a battle situation, Anoras would want to avoid sneaking up behind the people she would be fighting with. She wanted to distract the enemy.

It's the GM's decision of course. But my first choice would be Anoras would come from the side, meaning she would get there a bit later.

Others would be coming from the side and moving to come behind the Venasir rebels, or

Coming from behind the people of Holidor.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

Its your choice. You may approach from the side with an additional 40 yards of distance.

I will remind you of what happened last time you decided to take the long way around a fight, and point out this slows down your participation by another 8 seconds. But make your choice.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

Well, 8 seconds in a "let's meet in person or online and play for three hours" could mean waiting for a few minutes. Here in Play By Post, that could mean waiting a couple weeks.

Would it be possible for the Haunden to have a whistle/some other sound they use to greet each other, especially one that wouldn't seem significant to others? As Cassandra and Anoras are both Haunden warriors, maybe Anoras could do something like that. After all, Holidor is already expecting Anoras (and Thad) to show up.

That way Anoras could arrive quickly from behind Cassandra and the Holidor warrors and still not distract them. IF possible, that's what Anoras will do.

Re: Warriors of Haunden
 

You have tactics, she has soldier... so yes, you can have a Haunden Whistle to indicate alligence subtly.


So your action for this turn is just to make that signal and move forward?
