Can I get clarification on where you want us to post what?
For example, if I have a question about the battlefield, where does that go. Here? The Encounter 1 thread?
When I post my actions, do I post flavor and OOC stuff on the main thread, or the Encounter thread? Do you expect me to split flavor and OOC stuff up?
Ok, for everyone else:
E1 = goldweave cowled cloak. Not sure whether goldweave is simply descriptive, or special type of cloth armor (can't remember such, but you never know). Described as concealed. Could be a lurker/striker.
E2 = incanting eladrin wizard. All by himself. We may be able to work out what he is incanting - i.e. whether he is in the middle of a ritual or not. Artillery or controller. Probably controller.
E3 = full white robes. Leader.
E4 = heavy red plate armor. Soldier, or possibly brute.
The Ss are lower level or minions, most likely. IMO, we treat them like minions until we see a reason to do otherwise.
Bartleby, I'm inclined to suggest we approach from the southwest. Coming up the path is too exposed and too easily flanked. However, I'll think some more on this when I'm at home, and with answers from Jaerc on posting preferences.
