Since Torgarr is indeed better in a prepared position, I have moved him to Group #2, and my blood brother Amlóði moved to the Relief forces where he can bring his medical and battle skills wherever they are needed.

Group 2 would be best, Harald is always a better melee or second line supporter than ranged combatant, but especially today since he half-intentionally left his javelins at home due to Blue on Blue trauma.

I knew I was missing someone! Yeah, adding you to the Relief forces...back up whoever you need to.
Alright. Will do. Lemme fiddle slightly.
EDIT: Swapped you and Agmundr. He is now in Group #1.

Oh yeah, just to be clear.
[X] Once the Alarum goes up, Rikard secures his family and household, escorts them to the strongpoint, and then spends his remaining time either helping secure the evacuation of younglings and non-combatants into the secure zone and helping out where needed at preparing the defensive line.

That was the thought, yeah. The defensive lines are mostly melee focused people plus those with Kunna that can be used defensively.
Great. Glad that worked out.
In other news, after discussion and using an Aspect to heal, Vatn will be moving up to the Relief forces.
[X]Gefjosa will join Position #2 and try to make the position defensible with ditches, furrows, and moats. If the position gets hit, I'll join the fray.
I'm a bit disappointed I'm not on the main wall but I'll take what I got.

Sorry again was asleep after work, but if somebody wants to put Akali on literally any front line that's fine, while the reserves and rear line are safer he only has javelins for range so he's just gonna get up close and personal with a shield Captain Gotland style.
- Pronouns

Right now Akali is on the front line playing defense, but if he and Bjorn wanted to trade (putting Akali instead on the seawall side waiting to receive a cavalry charge), I'd allow it.
To be honest now I'm not sure what I want. Just put me where it's most dangerous. With the permission of anyone you you would need to swap out first. I trust judgement on this.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I honestly don't know. The front has Goliaths, but we're gonna be sniping those if we can, the side meanwhile has fewer defenders and is facing a cavalry charge, and the cavalry seem superior to the foot soldiers.
I mean, I wiped a fifth of them by myself, so not significantly better than the foot soldiers, but they do have spears and stuff.

They appear to be giant collections of skeletons that Voltron together into bigger things.
Again, remember, any Norseman is going to be able to fight like a street-level superhero just by default. You can fight, but archery may be where you excel the best.
True, although in our case there's so few of us that it becomes much more realistic for archers to shoot between the gaps in a notional front line. We're probably not huddled up in a shield-wall, after all, what with how many of us have weird and explosive abilities.
Well, that was something he personally handcrafted, and it might save her life, but sure lol.
Erik nods, shoulders a tactical assault caber, and heads for the appropriate strongpoint. He sizes up his fellows there, mostly by reputation. He thinks for quite a bit before he says anything.
(Erik himself isn't specialized in a fighting style, but has some pretty good weapon and direct damage kunna) (clan 'Bonehead,' for lack of a better term)
(Akali is a wrestler and a berserk and has a martial style) (clanless)
(Rikard has Seeing Eyes, is an excellent wrestler, and is sociable and edumacated) (clanless)
(Njal has Giant's Blood and is strong as hell, but mostly specializes in his plant kunna) (Flower-Tamer)
(Torgarr is all earth kunna all the time) (Clan Flower-Tamer)
(Harald is soil kunna and a corresponding martial style) (Clan Iron-Blood)

"I figure Akali or Rikard should be in charge. Either's fine by me. Nightsinger and Villeson could wrestle for it-" Erik grins, obviously making the words just about exactly half a joke- "and that'd be quite a sight to see. Don't know if we'll have time, though, and we do want to make sure everyone's fresh for the bone-men." He shrugs. "Maybe better if you drew straws or something."
The obvious subtext here is that Erik has no problem with following the lead of either of those two men, both of whom have great fighting skills and special advantages that would give them insights an ordinary Norseman might lack. The other three, he sees as more of his equals, and if one of them is in charge, Erik would have to ask "why not me?"

For the record, Ragnarr would note he assigned you to this group so you could use Force Kunna against big projectiles and protect them in that way. You're not the only layer of protection there, but you're probably the main one. Just so you're aware.

Your post is good, I just want to add that as much as they're bigguns and siege machinary we should also view the Goliaths as command and control infrastructure for the enemy since they've all have one of those relays embedded in them.

Erik offers his runic bouncing tactical assault caber to Njal Ulfson. "I bet you can get good loft on one of these things. I might be pretty busy playing catch, so you can have this one, and my spare, if you like. The runes will want blood to get them going, if you don't mind."

If he knew the goliaths were going to be throwing things, Erik would probably have volunteered to do that without even being asked. Fine by him.

"I'll give it a go" Rikard nods. "The important thing to fighting when you're outnumbered--from what I've been told--is to keep your back to a wall or a cliff or secured by your teams and focus on what's in front of you." He rests a hand on the pommel of his sword. "Don't count anything out while its still got enough pieces left to stab you either, Draugr Rules here, if it's still in one piece, it's still dangerous. Our job s to keep them from breaking past our defenses, rely on your comrades to guard the other sides, our job is to ensure not a single bloody bone-pile gets past us intact"

Erik nods at the good advice, though he's not going to do much more until he sees how Akali Nightsinger takes that.
(OOC: It is almost tempting to join the Sea Wall, especially if it'll be with the Crabs, but being at Relief Force for Gudrun is fine too I guess.)
