This discussion, now try to read 2 posts above before you make that assesment please.

Roll will be done later today and without Raven's action.

I think Raven is sick or something.Or is probably on vacation.

Vlad lowers his altitude a little too much, just a few tens of feet from skimming the treetops. This doesn't help Kyle one bit, who has to swivel like a top to get a few good shots off. Once they fly over the camp Vlad heads to the South-west.

HighEndNoob (2+1=3) Kyle Berguard
"Alright, once more with feeling!"
Vlad lowers the Biplane a bit too low this time as they cruise over the camp. Kyle swivels the Browning M2 around like a top, trying to aim at the rapidly escaping Tribesmembers. He is barely able to score hits of both them and their shelters before the clearing ends. The Biplane rises back up to a proper height and they continue South-West. Kyle sees the Eagle keeping pace behind them.

Game Events
It is about 3pm

Vlad and Kyle zoom back up to a proper cruising altitude and fly South-West with the Eagle in tow.

Asfer turns in Tyler's direction as he continues his scan. Tyler gets a little nervous with a big robot thing looking at him and he steps back. As soon as his foot touches the ground he is flung up halfway to the treetops by a rope around his ankle with a yell. A Tribal Scream follows shortly after and a Tribesman leaps from out of nowhere behind and above Asfer. Andrew frantically sprays upward with his M4 'Beowulf' Carbine and stops the man dead in the air. Tyler starts yelling at them to help while the rest of the Tribesmen surround the Exosuit and it's passenger. There has to be at least a dozen of them, all with spears and knifes, but they look a little different from the last Tribesmen they encountered. Less vicious maybe.

CURRENT SUB / OBJECTIVES:
Find the Fabled Tree to the South-West.

Asfer + Andrew + Tyler:


Vlad + Kyle: (Red square is your objective, you two are in the top-right)

Mk. III's equipped with a HE shell, so...
Arm the Vulcan and fire on any tribesman in front of me (unless Andrew's after him), and have the blade shield ready to slice any tribesman that lunges towards me.

That's a rather specific action. Now you've got me worried.

Question: Should I aim to be a brute on combat or at least attempt to conserve some distance in order to keep myself from unnecessary risk?

If by being a brute in combat means you get more +1's then be a brute, more chances for survival that way. At least that is what I believe.

I reckon Andrew should go all-out to make sure they survive. There'll be plenty of rest time in the next bazillion rolls before you get to the Tree.

On that note, the three-people party A+A+T should find a way to get a move on, since V+K will get there way faster than you in their plane. (Hint: There's a river to the south and paths beyond that.)

I also reckon I could get a few more players to have a quick go before the end. I'll send a few PMs, maybe CrazyMLC can come back.
