[quote=@agentmanatee] [@RomanAria] so the original plan was to kill off my only character before leaving the RP statting area... Ok moving away from that, the whole defending bit is a bit off considering several elements. For one, your comparing a door as equal to a mountain pass in defensive standing is ridiculous. Mountain passes have room for a defensive force to maneuver and defeat a larger force, no one can maneuver effectively in a door except for one person either way. Aldo drakken have elemtal powers tailored for combat, why rush s defended door when you can set the door on fire? Its not as stacked a fight against Lugft as you think. Regardless a maiming is fine with me, but zaks forces getting off largely uninjured is absolutely unfair and makes no sense. I'm not asking to win, losing is fine but as the odds are not as stacked as you think it needs to make sens. Zak should take more serious injuries than superficial scratches, that's ridiculous My 2 cents [/quote] This. I don't think anyone needs to die or get maimed really. That probably wouldn't be the aim of anyone in fight- Assuming there actually was an all out melee which is less than likely anyway. zak wouldn't have 'held' the doorway anyway; the plan was to sandwich Lugft's men between two groups, effectively leaving them trapped in the doorway area/alcove while getting poked at from both sides with spears and as such get them to begrudgingly surrender and agree to leave (I don't think either party would want to kill the other. That would risk a blood feud and war. At worst they would want to capture the other for ransom I imagine.)
