Did you apply the effect of Shinon's Watchful Eye at any point? It should have blocked one attack by now.

Torrens chuckled under his breath (so to speak) at Athinar's insults and outrage. Someone's pissed, he thought to himself, although he had the good sense to not say that aloud. What he did say was, "Of course, Captain Boss Man. I was just making it clear for everyone." He gave a mock bow and stepped back. It was true that Torrens did not fear Athinar, since contrary to Athinar's own experience with corporeal forms Torrens' body was not breakable, so he feared no injury. That, and Athinar was made of flesh while Torrens' body was thousands of degrees, one of which would beat the other with ease. Of course, a fight before the raid would be counterproductive, and he hoped that they would be able to continue to the raid, but his concerns for himself were minimal.

Torrens seemed to be satisfied at how the orcs would be organised, and gave a nod to Shukra to indicate this. Azvaran would need to be reassigned, but that was Athinar's problem. However, something else now bothered him. With Athinar's plan, unless some people were missing from the assembly, the frontal assault would consist solely of Shukra and Torrens. While this was the diversion, it still seemed disproportionate. Until his cunning managed to fill in gaps in the plan.

"I've realised that, with our current numbers, only Shukra and myself will be attending the frontal assault," Torrens stated, "However, I think I can see why so few numbers might work as a proper diversion. The most sensible plan would be to attack during the night. While your infiltration squad approaches from one side of the city and makes a quiet entrance, Shukra and myself would approach from the other side, with much fire and fanfare- tasks we are both well suited for. While the town responds to our arson, you can do your stuff with minimal fuss."

Torrens did not care if this was Athinar's original plan or not, as long as it became the plan now. "Of course, I think some kind of signal would be wise, to indicate if any one group has become overwhelmed. It would allow the infiltrators to inform us if our diversion isn't diverting their defenses adequately, or if we've been forced to withdraw so you know that the diversion will cease. Unlikely, of course, but a valuable contingency."

It would ignite practically anything you threw it at, even water. But, being a magical flame, it needs to be magically fueled, and so the Empyrean would go out pretty quickly, leaving just the standard flame. And if it wasn't on a readily combustable serface, then that would soon go out as well. So, kind of a waste to use it like that.

Edit: Since I am on a Solo mission now, should I just post it all in one?

@KabenSaal

Ah, it burns off magic. I suspected as much. The reason I asked was because that is how one replicates fire- by burning things with it. Of course, getting appropriate fuels for Empyrean would be difficult, which would keep Torrens with a very limited supply, but it means it isn't entirely impossible for him to get more without someone to conjure it.

As for your mission, post it in appropriately sized chunks. If you can fit it all in one reasonably sized post, I see no problem with it. If, however, it turns out to be rather large, I would rather it be posted in pieces than in one massive super post.

As far as introducing my self to the party. Do I have liberty to chose my own time or...? idk opinions xd

@Maxwell57

I'm pretty sure you could pick your own time. When that time is would depend on how you wish to enter. Have you been here all along, just sitting in at the side lines (in which case you could probably join the raid with Athinar, in the frontal assault)? Do you only just now find the Dungeon? Were you a captive in one of the two places we're going to raid?

@Behemoth542, Excellent. I look forwards to it.

Torrens thought the plan over. It seemed decent enough. There would be a frontal charge, involving himself, which he was pleased to hear, which would draw the defenses out the front. There would be an infiltration, taking advantage of the disturbance he would be causing. And there would be a safety net, which would surely double as reinforcements, to help contain the town, which was a wise use of the orcs since Shukra was evidently displeased whenever they were sacrificed. Sparing any tactical specifics, which would depend strongly on circumstances in the town, it seemed a sound plan, save for one detail. Torrens let Athinar know as such.

"It seems to be a good plan, although there's one detail that seems a bit off. Unless I'm horribly mistaken, the orcs are loyal to Shukra. I'm not sure if they could be expected to behave under the supervision of someone else. While I can see good reason for having the orcs secure the perimeter while Shukra leads a frontal charge, the matter of leadership may present a problem."

@Maxwell57, I'd be interested in seeing how your character would react to Shukra, our resident orc chieftain (although he himself is a Rakshasa/tiger person), who is probably not the same clan as yours.

So, @Behemoth542, when do we get to continue fighting these Dobermans? Dobermen? Dobermany? Funny as the bush was, it isn't quite a satisfying opponent.

Torrens thought over Emily's words, until Emily conjured a small mote of a magical flame for him. Torrens stepped over, swiftly swiped it, and stepped back to where he was. While to those unfamiliar with him it may have appeared to have been a rude snatch, Torrens was simply taking caution and minimising Emily's close-range exposure to him- many of his physical mannerisms center around that motive. He stared at the palm of his hand where the flame had sunk in and his face broke out into a big grin.

"Ah, yes, thank you. This will be most useful. Empyrean, yes? I've heard a lot about it," Torrens said. He closed his eyes for a moment, then added, "Not quite real Empyrean, though, I sense. Still, powerful all the same. Thank you again. Good luck on your mission."

As he was leaving, Torrens added, "Although I like burning things, I'm not a senseless brute about it. I've been in this game a lot longer than you can imagine, and I already know a proportionately vast amount about the nature of fire and heat and it's applications. I've got to. I wouldn't have made it this far if I didn't. Just letting you know."



Later, Torrens joined the group assembled by Athinar in preparation for the raid. Already various personalities were making a big show of the matter. Athinar did not look like a tactician, but at the same time looks can be deceiving. "For consideration in whatever plan you choose, my strengths are arson, sabotage, drawing enemy fire and frontal assaults. I'm not good at stealth," Torrens offered helpfully.

A small one, yes. It won't make Torren's go Super Saiyan, but it will work as a potent pick-me-up if things go south.

@KabenSaal

If I burn something with Empyrean flame, does its combustion involve Empyrean flame, or does it just act as a catalyst for producing copious amounts of normal fire?

Ay, sorry, but I won't be able to post until the morning tomorrow EST. I feel bad asking this, but please please please don't carry on without me.

@Athinar

I don't think it would be possible for us to carry on without you, considering that you're leading things.
