Battle plan:

Prep round: Charles makes Kuzan invisible and gives a pistol to Otto. Lia castes haste. Kuzan casts divine insight. Otto becomes the Wolfman of Kermanshah. Khalil drinks a potion and becomes invisible. Ishaq gets mad. Tomas and Andre haven't spoken. Presumably Tomas will tank (Tomas the tank engine?). Andre would make a good third option for the candle.

Questions: Can Kuzan cast fly? That would be very helpful. Then we could approach from three sides--Kuzan invisible and flying on one side, Lia with greater invisiblity and flying on the other side, and Andre (perhaps) approaching behind tanks.

Generally: Ishaq and Tomas push up the middle with Andre in tow, hoping to get Andre a crack at the candle by frontal assault while Kuzan and Lia approach the candle from the sides. Charles and Otto will have to take the sides, I think, and provide crossing fire for as long as that lasts. Khalil can use his mobility to try to get between the sisters and the candle and give the approaching tanks (and sharpshooters on the sides) flanking.

Sound good?

Just remember, no plan survives contact with the enemy. Spite and Malice have their own ideas about how this will play out.

And yes Rock, that is quite intentional. I mean, look at them...

Kuzan does have fly, yes. Scrolls, even. But it may be better to have someone else cast it on me because I have to cast my divine insight.

Sure, but you can cast that in the prep round and then move and cast fly as your action in the next round. (I think...how long does divine insight last?)

I can hope that my...rapport...with a certain one of the sisters works to our advantage, but considering she's a lunatic fae, who knows? I also, if need be, have 2 invisibilities of my own.

Ah, true. Divine insight is in hours or until discharged, so that's not much of an issue. I was thinking of doing bless + prayer on my first round but I can do Fly if it's helpful.

Are prayer and bless morale or sacred? This could influence what I cast during prep..

Juuuuust so everyone knows, I'll be starting the fight around 3-4 PM EST, so don't get so wrapped up in planning that you forget to cast in the prep-round.

Prayer is luck, bless is morale.

Just to clarify--Nathan, did you mean Charles had *premade* cold iron bullets, or were you talking about retrofitted collar-spikes? If it's the former, would you mind lending me a little extra cold iron ammo for use in my other guns? (I'd be happy to hook you up with some electric and/or flaming bullets in exchange.) And if it's the latter, Neo, any penalties/issues with using the spikes?

The spikes are about 5 inches long and over an inch thick at the base. You'll simply never get them in. You can use them as a tool-grade dagger, however.

Charles has 5 cold iron bullets, one in each of the guns and three on his person. So...supplies are tight. Do you plan on unloading and reloading at the start of combat?

I was...but if you only have five, then I wouldn't want to cut into your stash. I'll just use the one in your gun, then, and stick with electric bullets for the remainder.
