size=2>1) Are we talking or fighting here? One enemy person seems
to be related to Xian somehow...or just knows him? The enemy
seems to be waiting for us to make the first move. Also, being as
outnumbered as they are, would a demand from us to surrender be considered by
them? (Probably not...they all seem pretty crazy)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>2) The circle in the middle of the room - for the magic-users
in the group - is this some sort of protective magic circle that
will be used by our enemy for summoning a huge nasty beast that will kill
us all? If so, would it be advisable (or possible) to try
to obliterate the paint/dye on the circle BEFORE any such summoning
can occur? The floor is really smooth, so perhaps the liquor/water cabinet
could be thrown over to wash out part of the magic circle?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=040320813-13082004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>3) If the circle cannot be partially obliterated by
washing...perhaps the cabinet could still be useful in the fight. If it is
full of liquor...could we toss a naptha bomb at it and explode the whole thing
in the face of guard #4? Saute' him a little in his plate mail armor with
some white wine...heheheh!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Depending on what Farseeker directs and what others in the party indicate, these
are Ben'dar's possible actions, in order of priority.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

class=040320813-13082004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If Farseeker
motions to attack and the circle wash-out idea IS good (ie if one of the magic
users yells a warning about the circle), Ben'dar will rush to the cabinet
first and, if it seems to hold alot of liquid and can be moved/knocked over
(Ben'dar's a fairly strong guy), he will throw it over in the direction
of the circle, in an attempt to wash out part of the protective
markings. (Hopefully this latter action would not be what Guard
#4 is expecting and he will stay on the far side of the cabinet
until it's been thrown over.) Whether or not this effort succeeds, he
will then move to attack Guard #4.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=040320813-13082004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If
Farseeker motions to attack and the circle wash-out idea is NO good (ie
no magic user says anything about the circle) but the naptha bomb idea IS good
(ie Thig or somebody says to stay clear because they're going to blow it up),
Ben'dar will let Thig (or whoever else has naptha and wants to use it in
this manner) take care of blowing up the cabinet by Guard #4 and Ben'dar will
charge over to Guard #3 to attack with Jordi's spear.</FONT></SPAN>
<LI><SPAN class=040320813-13082004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If
Farseeker motions to attack, and both the circle wash-out idea AND the naptha
bomb idea are NO good (ie nobody says anything to divert Ben'dar
from doing what he naturally does best: frontal assault),
Ben'dar charges off at full speed to attack Guard #4.</FONT></SPAN>

of these scenarios, Ben'dar keeps in mind the fact that the far wall is
lined with enemy archers and spellcasters, so he will move very quickly and
attempt to use the columns for cover whenever possible.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
