    Valid point. But I'm wary of the cyclops rodent. Though he may make a good shield in a pinch. >:)

    I'd have done the same if I'd had to sit listening to Pippin all day. I hated Pippin......

    Wait...I've been out of touch for a few days........Last thing I recall was deciding to inquire about the gem at the local town. Anyone care to fill me in on how we got here???

    and I would normally get off the road since the odds are not in our favor BUT the text implies they have already spotted us so it's stand and fight!

    They decided to keep on going instead of going into town. So now they want to get killed by some murderhobos.

    "🗻Onwards, friends! As we reach the base of the mountain range, a radiant burst of energy surrounds us, temporarily halting our movement. Another group of adventurers is closing in, weapons at the ready."

    I would interpret this as going onwards.

    This confused me also. As someone who doesn't really do FB or Twitter, it would be nice if the votes from those sources were incorporated into the forum results so we can see where we really are. Make this the 'official' poll, so to speak.

    I haven't gotten to cut anyone recently. I think a nice sword enhanced with bright flame could scare off the limbs of a few ruffians. Sorry Nagash, do your minions like lightly toasted man meat?

    I'm very disappointed in the 15%. You have just made a tactical mistake and will all probably be dead soon. "a radiant burst of energy surrounds us, temporarily halting our movement. Another group of adventurers is closing in, weapons at the ready."

    This is describing an ambush. You are already in the kill zone. And a well planned ambush leaves no escape. Trying to flee the way you came in takes you deeper into a kill zone. Your counter-ambush tactic needs to be an immediate response with overwhelming force, to engage a sector of the enemy and push through them. To gain cover and take as much control over the engagement as you can. You can't go back, you can't stay where you are now. You must push, hard, now. Secure a position where you can gain an advantage and choose an effective disengagement.

    Trying to just run away will get you all slaughtered.

    Fight or Flight is our emotional response, but we stand our ground in readiness; perhaps they are in need of assistance.

    Could we simply throw them the cursed gem we picked on the way? I might be enough to at least confuse them and give us an advantage.
