[ooc]The lunar phase is waxing gibbous.[/ooc]

Quote from: beejazz[ic=Rashine] So we're staying here and not going to the tower? Are you seriously that scared? I say the lot of us go to the tower. Behrem should follow the monk. I can spy on our foes. The rest of you wait at the tower. We can attack at the crack of dawn as they break camp, if you're not too frightened to catch an unsuspecting foe off guard. We have the best information we'll get on them now. By morning, they'll have moved, and might possibly recieve warning. We can't wait for that. We must start our preparations now.[/ic]
[ic Faridoon]Faridoon furrows his brow and stows his water. "Are you deaf as well as foolish? Do you think that you're the only one who has eyes? Our quarry holds ground near the towers and knows this place. Under the open sky we would be spotted a mile off, more than enough time for them to break camp and flee. We can make their camp by midnight if the monk is to be belived, and under the cover of darkness no less!"[/ic]

[ic=Rashine]Tis not the light of day, last I checked. It is nearly night. We must use this fact to our advantage. As of now, and not tomorrow. I suggest that we prepare the ambush now, rather than sleeping the night away. As for attacking before they finish breaking camp, that's what the scouting is for. I'll torch you a signal as they start, allowing you to catch them off guard. We have tonight. We can't gamble on tomorrow.[/ic]

Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

[ooc]Waxing gibbous - that means we can expect good moonlight through most of the night, but the moon will set around 3-4 am. That means we'll be able to see well enough to move around during most of the night - but by the same token our enemies, if they are watching, will have a better chance to spot us.[/ooc]

[ooc]It's NIGHT?!  :wtf: [/ooc]

beejazz

[ooc]So we set up our positions before the moon falls. I'll sneak around, 'cause that's what I'm good at, and incapacitate whoever tries running off. Rest of you with any melee can take positions behind walls or whatever. Somebody with range in the tower. Only potential problem is communication. I could use a torch signal to determine start, but how to tell our sniper where the stragglers are in the dark? Once they leave the firelight, they're gone.[/ooc]

[ooc]What are you talking about? We haven't even seen their camp! I'm still confused about how you seem to think it's nighttime at the moment. >_<[/ooc]

snakefing

[ooc]No, it is not night yet, as far as I know. I asked about the moon so we could plan our movements.[/ooc]

[ooc]Sunset has been mentioned. Either it is night or it will be shortly. It sure as hell ain't noon, in any case.[/ooc]

[ooc]Are you sure? My refrence of time has been based on this quote:
[quote DM]There is no tower until some way into the complex, you're going to have a little walking to do to get to it, but you should make it there before nightfall.[/quote]

[ooc]Indeed, I do believe that it is dusk right now. There was mention of sunset, but not much has transpired since then except banter. I'm expecting Behrem to return just as it starts to get truly dark, but even now the moon should be visible in the east, based on its phase. At least if I remember my astronomy correctly.

Anyway, once Behrem returns we should be able to move on with enough moonlight to see by.[/ooc]

[ooc]Is it too late for me to go with Behrem?[/ooc]

[ooc]Also, I vote we camp here for the night[/ooc]

[ooc]As far as I'm concerned, Atefeh can travel with me if he wishes, and the DM is okay with it.[/ooc]
