[@POOHEAD189] Is it too much of an issue that they can't be in combat yet? Are you sure we can't take it from here? I mean, it's alright for Alice to be preparing, she had stuff to do but what else can other people say than "I ready my weapons and get ready for a charge."

Unfortunately yes. I'm not trying to make peeps feel bad and I won't pretend I've never made this mistake. So I'm not penalizing anyone for it this once. 

But what people could do is 1) describe where they hold up, because it is a town with buildings to barricade themselves in, 2) do they stay in the street and get into any formations, 3) are they watching the alleyways, 4) Have they faced Rogs yet and if so, do they know anything, 5) do they ask anyone if they have any ideas, so on and so forth. I mean, it's an advanced RP and I've let peeps take liberties a fair bit so far. But yeh, y'all can fight a few Rogs once they attack and you can describe you taking a few out if you justify it well enough, but I'm supposed to describe them entering the town proper, and I also have surprises too.
