I think James should go up on the roof closer to the middle of the street.

######### .
######### .
#####+~-+ .
#####|..| .
#####!..! .
#####++=+ .
######|.|

right on the green square. Gives him some cover, lets him see most of the street, and with his speed he could reach most of the street in a round.

also, minor rules question, what sort of skill roll would it be to land on someone? after say jumping from a roof?

Alright! He'll be on the roof next to the bell tower.

Landing on someone requires a Mobility check and a Fighting check. The Mobility check determines whether you hurt yourself or not while crashing on top of the opponent, and the Fighting check determines whether you're able to hurt the opponent. You'll get +1 on the Fighting roll for the extra momentum.

...,can you combine it with an attack? two? thinking a proper land and stab...
actually, can you attack targets adjacent to the person you land on with the attack?

The Fighting check you make is your attack roll. If you land and stab, you just add the +1 on your attack with the dagger or sword. The number of attacks you can make doesn't change -- one attack per weapon you're wielding, and the AP cost applies as normally.

Sure, you can use whistles. I don't remember if I have statted them out, but it's such a simple item that it doesn't need complex rules. And you still have you 100 EP to use for your preparations. A whistle will, of course, alarm the enemy as well, so it may be harder to make surprise attacks if they're aware of your presence.

You don't know their numbers or formation, so make an adaptable plan.

There's still time for planning. Though as soon as you're ready, let me know so we can move on to the part where blood will be shed. :D

Which eastern alley are we trying to force them down? There seem to be three.

In a delayed answer, any of them. We need them off the streets and I'm assuming they can't run off the east or west ends of the map. That leaves then one bottleneck they can get out of, the horizontal alley to the north of your character's location.

Do we know that Rogar is male?

And finally, the thread still didn't subscribe properly, hence me not responding. I'll just start checking on this every day or two to make sure I'm getting the messages properly.

James is mostly waiting for him to be needed. I don't see anything he really can do, except play at overwatch with daggers until he can get a clear shot to jump/stab. so until a foe comes within 4 squares, he is hiding.

Their victory condition is that Rogar will have to make it to the North Gate alive. Yours is that Rogar must die. If neither happens, e.g. Rogar exits the map through any other way than through the North Gate, it's a tie.

Rogar is most definitely a man.

I wonder if there's a maximum number of threads you can subscribe to. Try subscribing to other new threads and see what happens? Anyway, what's Lydia going to do this round? Even if you're not going to do anything but wait, please post in the IC thread once per round.

Ok, thread subscription is working intermittently; I was going to do nothing anyway, so it worked out. Is Lydia aware of what's going on?

Derryk has no plans for the woman and is still keeping a lookout on the South Gate. If James can bring the woman into the church for Lydia to talk to / interrogate / subdue / murder, he can take the stairs inside the church to the roof.

Good idea. Talking is great.

Course, the woman would be terrified out of her mind.

well, should have done it as a flying kick, but a most satisfying first round. Hope James dosn't need to break her jaw, as a stunned scout tells no tales.

Hey, Laura, what's Seira look like?

I thought this was in the character description, but apparently not; Lydia's short with black hair. So that wouldn't work.

Sorry for being two days late, I kind of forgot about this. My avatar's supposed to be Seira in the guard armor from last time, so the brown hair bit works.

That's cool, I didn't know that. I'll wait for Kensen to answer my question IC before I say it, but the idea is for Seira to take her cloak and whatnot, then signal from a ways off. The alternative is for us to send out Zira to give the safe signal with you waiting to shoot her if she warns them. Which is a crappy plan, because it involves trust.

Just a warning, guys: I live in northern Jersey, so I might lose power sometime soon to Hurricane Sandy. If I don't respond for the next few days, that's probably why. Sorry in advance.

Oh, damn I forgot to add them. Sorry about that.

So let's say it's a medium +1 weapon you can also use as a melee weapon. Range 8 when thrown.
