Marching Order

At the moment (having gone in the first northern cave entrance and starting to explore down the eastern corridor), I believe it is:
Druin in front, then Gabbro at the corner where the corridor turns north. Ricard, Swan, and Tess are in the initial chamber, and I assume Orelia is there, too.

Yup--I think that makes sense. Druin would probably rather be in the second row if you asked him, but Ricard's trained with the spear and can actually hit things from there. :)

The Marching order looks good to me

If there's a larger target, I'll be slinging rocks from the back. I just really don't like the -4 Gabbro was getting because of the beetle's low profile. It'd be -3 total with Gabbro's attack bonus, but that's still likely to hit one of you more than 50% of the time.

We have this for players: Swan the Slayer, Elf Gabbro, Warrior Ricard, NPC Orelia the Cleric, Elf Fenwick, & KCC's Character. Tress is gone. And Druin is dead.

Hellions marching order

Front probably is:
Swan the Slayer is shield and sword
Warrior Ricard is shield and sword

Next probably is:
Elf Fenwick with shield and spear
Elf Gabbro with a sling (Possible Druin's Blade)

Back is:
NPC Orelia the Cleric with mace and lantern (No character sheet address to look up)
KCC's Character no idea on what or hands (No character sheet address to look up)

Positions:
SR
FG
OK

Gabbro can borrow Ricard's spear to use from the second row...

GM: I have Fenwick with shield and spear, is the spear two handed? and can use a shield with a spear?

Sure, when we're back to marching down halls, Gabbro will happily use someone's spear from the second rank.

Maybe he'll get one for himself from these bandits, hey?

...or maybe he won't survive, and it'll be someone else toting a spear.

I believe it just becomes:

Front probably is:
Swan the Slayer is shield and sword
Warrior Ricard is shield and sword

Next probably is:
Elf Fenwick with shield and spear
Elf Gabbro with a sling (Possible Druin's Blade)

Back is:
Bea the thief with spear/short bow and torch/lantern
Tiberious the magic user with dagger and readied spells

?

Tiberious will probably be close to the front. He doesn't carry weapons or shield, so he can carry a lantern.

This seems fine to me, though two corrections as to what we're carrying:
1) Gabbro is wielding Ricard's spear
and
2) Tiberious is holding Swan's lantern

Marching Order: Movement 90' (Unless someone is slower than that.)

Front probably is:
Swan the Slayer is shield and sword
Warrior Ricard is shield and sword

Next probably is:
Elf Fenwick with shield and spear
Elf Gabbro with a sling and Ricard's spear

Back is:
Bea the thief with spear and short bow
Tiberious the magic user with dagger and Swan's lantern

Marching Order for the Hellions: Movement 90' as of 2/2/24

Front is:
Swan the Slayer is shield and sword
Warrior Ricard is shield and spear (trap testing)

Next is:
Tiberious the Magic user with dagger and Swan's lantern
Elf Fenwick with shield and spear

Back is:
Elf Gabbro with a sling

Smiles Lanhkmer that is a turn per 10' space I believe. Just someone not in the front roll to carry. Shouldn't be a problem unless we run into trouble on the way back. previous marching order updated.

As of our last update, a bit over a month ago, we Hellions had the following marching order:
But now that we've lost Swan and Lanhkmer and gained Sister Jessica and Pickles, what order do we want?

Pickles is more of a ranged fighter, but with his advantages with hiding happy for him to be near the front.

Jessica can fight pretty well, and doesn't have spells (yet).

Fenwick is willing to take front row if necessary but she'd prefer to stay in the middle with her spear/ occasional spell. Her middling HP/AC combo will probably not leave her front row for long. :)

So maybe Jessica and Ricard front row?

Works for me

Shall we say this marching order?

Gabbro, Elf 1: 7/7
Ricard, Fighter 1: 5/7
Jessica, Cleric 1: 5/5
Fenwick, Elf 1: 5/5
Pickles, Halfling 1: 4/4
Tiberious, Magic-User 1: 5/5

I was holding the light source, but I can hand that off to someone closer to the front.

We're walking two abreast, so it would be:

Front: Gabbro, Ricard
Middle: Jessica, Fenwick
Back: Pickles, Tiberious

That works for me as long as both Ricard and Gabbro have spears or poles so they can probe the ground ahead of them. Pretty much any formation should have the people in front with spears or poles. Gabbro had borrowed a spear, but gave it back. We know there are pits on both levels that we've seen - the first level where we are now, and the second level where our clues suggest some treasure may be - because we've fallen into them twice. Whoever is in front needs to be testing the floor for traps, or we'll certainly fall in again and again.

Happy with this order.

I should have purchased a 10’ pole.

I'm good with the order and Ricard has his spear out.

No problems with the order.

I am good with the back. Rear guard.

Straight swap works

Since Fenwick's out of spells and Gabbro's a little nicked up, I'm proposing they swap as we enter the next room

Front: Fenwick, Ricard
Middle: Jessica, Gabbro
Back: Pickles, Luther

Will one in the middle take the lantern?

No, no: Gabbro will take the lantern, as he does not use a shield. Will Fenwick take back her spear, then?

Edit: OK, I see that Fenwick has generously offered to let Gabbro continue using her spear.
