[X] Pair up with an Iron Warrior, and rush into the fray. Trust them to stay safe
-[X] Beserker

Francine grabbed the nearest Iron Warrior. "You, come with me," she growled, her voice low and menacing. It was all she could get out before the blood rage overtook her, and she was charging into the enemy ranks, her sword flying in every direction, slicing limbs and spilling blood.
 
You know, when looking at our current status it looks like there isn't enough berserkers for every everblocker/iron warrior. We need to find a more efficient way to use our berserkers.

As an Iron Warrior, is it wrong for me to think ladies drenched in gore are hot?

Changing the vote.
 
Could someone do a vote count so we could plan better? Every vote after the first is a +5 at this point right?
 
[X] Sneak into the Camps (before the whirlwind fighters attack) and do some sabotage, cut loose the camels, put stones in boots, set fires, etc that will exacerbate the chaos when the attack begins. Then, when the enemy attention is elsewhere, go to the western camp and loot whatever you can and a caravan to move it with.

Hm, let's see if I can't improve that with an omake.

"Ah, here he is again," I thought and tried not to breathe to hard. With luck the guard would pass my hiding-spot by the same route as the last time he went by and I would be able to continue on, finally. Tacey and Beatrix had already gone though, one at a time, on his previous rounds and now it was my turn to try.

He seemed to walk agonisingly slow, but it was only an illusion. It had taken him half a counting song to go from the large red stone to the really pale one this time around too. Surely he would pass the remaining distance at the same speed too. I was just ... tense.

A sudden noise startled him, perhaps the yap of a coyote. Just at the wrong time too, for he was barely a few short steps away from my hiding spot. I strained to keep absolutely still; any movement could catch his eye. My mind kept repeating "I'm just a stone, I'm just a stone, I'm just a stone," as if he could hear me, as if it would work if he had. And then, wonder of wonders, he turned to continued his patrolling.

He was just barely out of sight when I scrambled to my feet. There was no time to waste. The next patrol would come along all too soon. I padded along, heading for the nearest caravan and had almost reached it, when I heard laughter from the other side, where I had intended to hide next. I froze momentarily, surely if my heart beat any faster it would burst. I had to go somewhere: over or under? Making a quick decision I scaled the caravan as quietly as I possibly could and lay down flat on the rooftop.

This was a good decision it turned out, because the two soldiers, slightly drunk by the look of it, started pissing on the wheels as soon as they reached the caravan. ... Eww. I was so glad I hadn't decided to hide under it.

They took their time. Not so much to pass water as to gossip. I was treated to an endless stream of inane stories about people I had never met. Soldiers they had served with, friends they had at home and women they had "loved". The stories grew increasingly ruder and I had to resist the impulse to slam my forehead against the roof. "Gods above, will they never shut up and go away."

Finally someone by the camp-fires shouted for them and they left. I sighed and started scanning for my next hiding-spot or something to sabotage. "Never again," I swore to myself, "will I take a stealth mission. The danger I can deal with, but I can't take going from scared shit-less to bored to tears in ten heartbeats more than once a day." I slipped down from the roof and headed towards my next target. "Ah, well, I'll deal, I suppose," I thought. "Ooh! There are the camels; I can go there next."

Combat Turn 2

    • The battle was combination of great sucess and terrible failure. First, a few soilders attacked the sentries, a one was successful and allowed the western camp attack to maintain the element of surprise. Unfortunately, another soldier was not carefully while killing a sentry, and alerted a different one who raised the alarm. The would-be sneak was by the western camp, so the central camp sent reinforcements there.

    Another team also attempted sabatoge, but they weren't very careful and were seen in the first place they went, the eastern camp. Luckily, the Whirlwind fighters attacked quickly enough so that the eastern camp didn't have time to react to this and slaughter them to a man, along with the not-so-sneaky sabotagers. They also started killing most of the camels to prevent escape, but they didn't corridnate well, and started killing way more then they should have, not realizing that there fellows were doing the same. This led to the death of every single camel in the eastern camp.

    The western camp attack went, much, much worse. Due to the earlier reinforcements, the western camp attackers were outnumbered much more then they thought they would be and be an alert force, instead of a surprised one. This lead to the enemy leveraging it's numbers to take out the few, uncordinated fighters with barely any casualties, killing them all.

    This wasn't all bad though. The same Sword-Saint who sucessfully eliminated the western camp sentries along with an second sword-saint who attempted to gather a group to attack the central camp, but failed, then attacked the central camp, who was almost completely focused on the west, with the second soilder deciding to attack without a full group. The soilders carved a huge swath through the back of the enemy forces, before eventually being forced to withdraw to the now decimated eastern camp. A third soilder, hoping to kill the enemy leaders, joined them but then died early on because the soilder tripped over a dead body and onto an enemies sword, who rejoiced at killing one of the "demon" soilders. Unfortunately, he was then stabbed in the back by Mask (default) in the midst of his celebration.

    Earlier, a few soilders took it upon themselves to pair up with a Beserker to keep them safe, while, at the same time, a few Beserkers took it upon themselves to order a Iron Warrior or Everblocker to do the same. This lead to their being no Beserker casualties during the attack on the eastern camp, nor during a brief foray into the central camp on the wake of Mask's (default) sucess, even though they use an extremely risky fighting style.

    Another blunder made was an attempt by several fighters to attack the patrols around the central camp to prevent reinforcements. Unfortunately, they were already alerted and instead of killing a small patrol, the fighters fought the large group sent to reinforce the west, leading to their deaths.

    (Same as before, but the eastern fighters can attack the North, South, or Central camps, also, coordination is important, who knew?)

    The enemy currently outnumber you 1 to 6. The element of surprise is lost.
