MEPBM 2950 Encounter From: Yale University Public Cluster User <ph@directory.yale.edu> Date: Sat, 20 Jan 1996 00:00:00 +0000 I have to send in an answer pretty soon, so if anyone can respond with ideas of what to do or what the outcome might be, I would be very grateful. The character, (50 Emmisary, challenge rank 25) came over a small ridge line only to hear screams and cries for help in the valley below. Moving cautiously forward, she peered from behind some bushes and other foliage to see that a small farming village had been raided by some ten to twenty men mounted Orcs and Wolves. The women of the village have already been made captive and the few remaining men seem hard pressed by the rampaging Orcs. The captives are to one side with only a few guard. It is obvious to her that she will be noticed as soon as she leaves her place of concealment. Should she FREE the captives (sounds like the agent thing to do) ATTACK the Orcs and save the farmers (the most satisfying- she's got a low challenge rank, but she might tip the balance) JOIN the Orcs in pillaging the village (not really an option- I'm FP) GO immediately for help (An emmisary thing to do, but she could be noticed and cut to ribbons, or find too little help too late) WATCH from hiding to see the outcome (probably the safest thing to do) FLEE (probably like GO but less helpful) Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd really like to solve this encounter, but I don't want to lose one of my best emmisaries. Up
