XD oh my, these made me laugh! Did not expect she'd launch herself, and the naginata-wielder, well, her charge wasn't impressive. Poor thing.

It's a bo staff, and the opponent is so far beyond her ability at that point - and even by the end of the game, really - that the depiction there is pretty much the only way that fight can go. Ah, so that's what it is, I thought I saw a curved blade. Shows what I know.

Exactly! And don't forget to re-stomp the groin.

I prefered Azi's plan, but think we should go one step further.

We should burn everything. Even the ship. ESPECIALLY THE SHIP. That way they can't get away.



EDIT: So Travis's plan is the same as Bridgett's, only instead of a peaceful distraction to insert an infiltration team, they go in all guns blazing. O_o

Travis doesn't believe a 'peaceful' distraction would work. All things considered, I don't think making somebody dressed up like the princess wander around out in the open as a 'distraction' would work so well.

Mostly because they could get shot instead of the soldiers wandering over totally off their guard to happily vapture the 'princess'. I am Inferi.

I think the logical order, should you came under fire, would be to either take off or sabotage the ship. After all, it should be no secret what we want, and they have all the time in the world to wait for a recovery crew. Either of these scenario’s, I think, would lead to a “bad end”.

That being said, Harbinger is showing atypical behaviour. Perhaps there's some sort of custom we can call them out on to duel to the death? :P

Then there's Gareth's plan:

1) Advance as a group, stop some distance away from the ship.
2) Send recon team forward.
3) Recon team finds out how many men are outside the ship, maybe stealthily kill a patrol or two.
4) Recon team reports back.
5) Work out a plan of approach. Ideally they would advance as a group, pick off the guards on the outside (stealthily if possible), and then rush the ship.

Travis's plan kind of expects three people to hold off the bulk of their forces. Bridgett's plan expects them to maintain a ruse that they honestly can't effectively pull off. I would argue that Gareth's plan is safer and far more flexible. Both Bridgett's and Travis's plans rely too much on the enemy's cooperation, expose both groups to far too much risk, and make effective communication difficult. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Gareth's plan also involves being exposed to the elements for a fair amount of time. Please crouch in the wind and rain for the next 10 minutes and tell us all how you feel. Most people tend to get ratty and argumentative - and keep in mind, there's no CO to keep everyone in order. Everyone is their own leader. Mainly because of my shitty writing skills and inability to put Bridgett ahead of the pack. Ahh, but there’s still time…

I have to agree partially with Lasky here though - rushing at them expecting a reaction won't work unless he has a motive to act on it - and rushing an airship on an open field without cover isn't a very sound plan. It didn't work out for the creatures of the forest... that being said, they didn't have plot armour.

I've walked for much longer in worse conditions. Wear a coat, some proper boots, and maybe some gloves.

We only rush the ship when everyone outside the ship is dead, and thus unable to fire at us. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
