I've halted the update for now. I thought I had a plan<BR>
with Will's teleport but in thinking it
over he wouldn't<BR> have known
about the slaughter. So doing a 1 phase teleport<BR>
isn't realistic. Arawn has a plan as well.
But there<BR> is some issues
I outlined in his email. Arawn will have to<BR>
consider the option to cast a spell to save the human
or<BR> prevent the Orb giving a
warning. If the human is saved<BR>
then the Orb could notify all the Vong and stealth is ver.<BR>
If the Orb is destroyed which he could do
by hand then<BR> the human MAY die
but he could save possibly hundreds more<BR>
humans who may be captive elsewhere. By the time the
party<BR> leaves this cave hundreds
could be slaughtered. So is<BR>
one human worth hundreds? If Z'leya's telepathy was
still<BR> active I could say she
warned Will about the humans during<BR>
the fight and he turned and teleported. But the spell
is<BR> gone so it would take a good
phase just to discover it and<BR>
might be too late by then. So I'll hold things off here<BR>
so folks can re-iterate or replan
strategy. I can still<BR> do
Arawn's emailed plans and it could still work. The spell<BR>
in mind could affect the human and shaper
at once. But<BR> if the spell fails
or the effects fail.<BR><BR> So
think about new options. If not I'll try to work on<BR>
Arawn's plan and invoke them next update on
Monday.<BR><BR> I would say go back
2 phases due to the mistake by the<BR>
Dwarves. But sadly the detail already done in terms
of<BR> experience and other data
would be difficult to back<BR>
track. Its not impossible it would be highly difficult.<BR>
I'd have to reverse engineer some
things.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>OOC: I thought that Will was probably to far away and to involved
to be of much help still hes open to suggestions. It seems to me that
rescuing the human and stopping the shaper form using the orb are both
priorities. We have already let one Vong escape and the clock is
ticking. The human could give us the edge in information that may help
us get to the next phase of the operation ahead of the curve and still
surprise them. Of course if the shaper alerts the entire complex then
all bets are off. If the vong could at least be delayed and Will be
alerted maybe he could still be of help.
