POW Item Assignments
"List of the team's POW capable items and what the POW is currently allocated for"
Caliban - Golem Toe - POW 4: Deactivate (1); Sanctuary (1); One Mind: Lesser (2)
Copperhead - Tempest Stone - POW 5: Patternweave (1); Spider Climb (1); Deactivate (1); Erase (1); 1 POW free
Fânrȗiell - Sapphire - POW 3: Acid Orb (1); Speak w/Astral or Ethereal Traveler (1); 1 POW free
Team SOPs
List of possible team "standard operating procedures"
Procedure 1: Crossing a Portal. 1. secure the side we are on (all) 2. Decide how long to wait with no communication before worrying about recon team, 3. recon the other side at least out to long bow range (2 people/companions), 3. Secure the other side, 4. Cross rest of team over, 5. All secure while Fan checks route, then Priest perform augury while Nick’m attunes to the environment.
Procedure 2: Team Movement Outside. Four warriors, (1) Point, (2) Left Flank, (3) Right Flank, (4) Rear. Others in center. Our team speak allows a unlimited dispersion, so we can open up or close down as the situation changes. In an encounter the orientation shifts to the warrior in contact who then becomes the point of the diamond formation. Left and right reinforce as necessary in coordination with actions from the center while rear warrior pulls security. At a halt the team remains spread out until decision is made to huddle up. Generally separation distance is slightly wider than a magic explosions. This procedure will limit our exposure and better our response to a wide variety of living and natural hazards.
Procedure 3: Team Movement Inside. I think Caliban or Fan should work this out. He is our scout here and Fan benefits from open lines of fire.
Procedure 4: Ambushed! (1) Attack on own initiative violently with most damaging capabilities straight into the ambushers center of strength. (2) Deploy line of sight blocking and terrain denial magics. (3) Keep moving until out of the ambushers chosen ground. Our outside movement procedure will allow us to know where each other are in confusion. Some of us can fight blind and move sure footed so don’t dismiss casting the obscuration or denial magics on top of the group. Crag can fight in white out conditions and has magic traction boots.
Procedure 5: “WTF is that?” Warriors pull security and listen up on team speak for support requests. Fan, Copperhead, Caliban, Nick’m collaborate and formulate a plan to sort it out with those mad mysterious skills of yours.
