Re: Ruins in the Thornwood
Alisandra busied herself making everyone a bowl of what she had prepared. It would likely taste rather bland but still be filling for most of the day. She raised a brow at Lucien, ”Indeed I do. Let me begin with what we all seem to be, from my observations. Lathan and RIssa seem to rely on the longest range weaponry in our little group. You Lucien seem to focus on mid range combat either with shorter range weaponry or melee. Three elks and I look to be the only pure melee fighters in our group. Magic wise, other than her energy bolts RIssa seems to have spells which control the field? Is this correct? My own magic is focused on Controlling the field and keeping my allies in the fight. Again other than Rissa’s energy bolts we lack heavy hitting spells, which is fine, we can work around that. I have some ideas for when I gain experience but until then we will need to improvise. As I see it, we have done a lot of spelunking thus far and that trend seems likely to continue. This is good and bad. The bad first. Being in such confinement will diminish our ranged combatants. It is a handicap we can over come. Here let me draw something.” She handed off the serving spoon and used her dagger to make a rounf sketch on the ground. ”We’ve been fighting a sort of free for all, no tactics taken into account. My suggestion is thus:”
She has used everyone’s initials to represent them -
Enemy
First Rank AJ TE
Second Rank LN
Third Rank LS RT
”Bieing in this arrangement puts the front line fighters where they should be, at the front. Lucien you are able to dart in and out of the front line, while Rissa and Lathan form the back rank. First I would suggest, at least at the start, that everyone hold until either I or Rissa have, actually preferably both, have taken control of the field. I use Fairie Fire on big groups to give everyone advantage and a paralyzing spell if there is only one enemy. Holding your attacks and keeping back will give me the chance to affect as many of our enemy as possible with my initial control spell, or to single out the biggest target. Once that is done Three and I can hold that front line, especially with Lucien providing mid range support. Lathan and Rissa can pick off enemies with their superior range. Now it is also important that someone call the shots, so to speak, letting us all focus on one enemy at a time. I would suggest either Rissa or myself for that role, but honestly any of us can have it. Whoever takes the first shot, everyone should focus their attacks as much as possible on that enemy, until it falls and then on to the next. These are old strategies but they are also time tested and reliable. Those are my thoughts.”
