2008-04-14 Red alert!! All red shirts to the detention level

[Primarch]

I forsee a lot more elf popping soon.

[Veritas]

Slipping out the back would be a very good idea now m'yes, probably won't though, but who am I to say?

[Theros]

Ian's methods weren't anywhere near subtle enough to actually be described as "infiltration," I thought...

[BloodHenge]

I don't think there is a word for what Ian did.

I wonder if their decision to evacuate in a different direction than everyone else will curtail or prolong Ian's rampage...

[Sareth]

They're being remarkably calm, I think. Their entire effort to make things very uncomfortable for the council has just been seriously upstaged, a raging maniac has just blown the hell through the city into the dungeon, and is liable to make a real mess, and they are being pithy.

Heh.

I wonder what Sara thinks of all this, being that she has not actually met Ian.

[SkArcher]

Reconnaissance with force?

At any rate, Ian seems not to be proceeding with the "slaughter everything in sight" method of escape, so he's not personally entirely confident that he's immune to everything the elves could throw at him. Not that that means anything, he could be wrong...

[DarkIntruder]

I wonder what Sara thinks of all this, being that she has not actually met Ian.

She will be polite, she will be professional, but she'll have a plan for killing him on sight.

Actually, I think she'll be unfazed (Imagine that! ) until she attempts to time-monk him. At which point she'll gain a great deal of respect for his power, if she hasn't been turned into wallpaper paste by that point.


As for the elves reaction, panicking is never a good plan. Besides, they're confident that even with only a handful of soldiers, Elves are naturally superior to Half-elves, and as such aren't worried.

I can only hope that Meji can talk some sense into Ian before he turns the entire mountain into a pressure cooker.

[Graybeard]

Let me see if I analyze this correctly:

An adversary has just shown up who announced his presence by way of a minor earthquake, and who has caved in much of the surface of Emerylon.

There is every reason to believe that another, more powerful earthquake is coming.

The elves are herding the non-combatants into the deepest levels of the chambers ...

... Where, when the earthquake happens again, everything above will land on them.

Conclusion: Elves are stupid.

Incidentally, any opinions on whether "confinement vault" = "Infensus Vault"?

[runic]

so what, are they gonna secure an exit? i say this thinking that if they are about to try bailing meji they need to go near the fighting and thus in the direction of the elven militia reinforcements. so either there will be backstabbing or the salvaging of whats left of the plan.

[BloodHenge]

Ian seems not to be proceeding with the "slaughter everything in sight" method of escape

He doesn't? Because that looked like exactly what he was doing. Just because he hasn't gone looking for something to slaughter doesn't mean anyone but Meji and Ellis have survived meeting him.
