SMALL TRAIN - Thomas team

This battle takes place an expanded subway station. There are a pair of tracks leading as well as platforms intended for trains to come from multiple directions. It is about 8 meters to the ceiling and the platforms are quite spacious. It is clear the station was not originally manmade, but converted from a cavern. It provides ample room for a fight, but it might be difficult to pin down Thomas to make him fight. The station is very well lit and looks still nearly pristine. There are still active magitech and the power lines running along the tracks are still live. There are a few small shops intended for travellers, similar to those found in St. Pancras Station.

Thomas is a hybrid Mechanical Undead/Spirit type. He is thought to be rather slow moving, but hard hitting. Rumor is that he is more powerful than he looks.

The Thomas team is accompanied by Angus a redheaded and heavy set Cleric/Fortuneteller. Angus to put it simply, is quite lazy. He is interested in the prospect of getting treasure but is not thrilled at having to go to dangerous places in order to get it. He is serious when the battle starts, however before that the team is not expecting very much out of him beyond complaints.

Alright team, here's my plan. We'll cause a disturbance by destroying the one of the shops. Hopefully, that might get Thomas' attention. We'll have Bast use his <Prediction> to tell where Thomas is coming from. Once he shows up, Lukavminaev and Emmerich keep it's attention, while Bast and Pwyll flank him. Every so often, Lukavminaev and Emmerich will move themsleves closer to the edge of the platform to lure Thomas there. And with a <Spear Break> from Emmerch, we'll send him falling into the electrified tracks below. 

How's that?

Sounds good. Pwyll's equipment at the moment is beginner plate armor with two custom level 1 one handed weapons.
He mainly fights with just one of them, leaving the other for Ante Up. He lacks new equipment, but I'm working on it. Depending on when this starts, I may not have them ready in time. Real Life takes priority, its crunch week before mid-semester break.

Pwyll isn't the type to lead and doesn't communicate much by his own vow, but can be trusted to do his best in the task given to him.
He'll serve as a distraction where needed and take the aggro from opponents if you need him to for a while.

 good but just in case he has already spawned Emmerich toggle on your <battle perception> to keep 3m sight of Thomas name so if he's already spawned you will spot him just to keep him on track. 

If Thomas doesn't want to leave the tracks for some destroyed shops (or in fact can't for  being stuck to the tracks or something) we could search for the control room to cut the supply to the tracks, that should slow this living train down and from there if it's not slow enough and the rails safely unelectrified get to work on quickly reforge(blacksmiths using speed forge or slower methods) the rail to try and direct it off  into the shops, derailed from there to either turn the power back on and follow through with original plan or try striking while down. Depending on the situation in.

all that's just back up, that hopefully won't be needed but always good to have plans for the occasions. 

Bast can fight either in plate or leather armour depending on if we feel manoeuvrablity or defence is more important for the situation. And can use his spear or crossbow depending on the range of combat needed at the time. Sadly basts equipment is only store bought lvl 5 stuff so depending on when we are starting bast can either trying buying new ones from a blacksmith or fight in that depending on how soon we want to start. Happy either way. Bast will happily buff people and thanks to his <Disassembly> skill do a little more damage than usual against him but maybe(maybe not) more important be able to remove any buffs he might have on him.


Anyone got any plans on what to do if we find the harder than he looks is him doing some transformer stuff (or simply ghost Rider style flaming ride stuff?) only thought about this since the. First thing. When. Reading harder than he looks made me think of all those jrpgs and there second and third forms ( being there true hardness or whatever).

In case it will come to normal combat, my monk can help pwyl as damage builder.

Also, I want to know post order XD

[Pwyll]

Pwyll will act after he sees how everyone else is moving.
Likewise, I prefer being last. Makes it easier to make my posts since I'll have more information to reply to.

[Bast]

Don't much care for the front myself but other than that I'm good with whatever, (hell I'll go front if no one does but...I'm not the best at leading the charge in writing.)

[Emmerich]

We're fighting a living train!? Thought we were fighting a zombie conductor or some other humanoid undead enemy. But anyway, what you said Bast sounds good. Alright guys, I'll start making the thread. We're on train maned by a lander, taking us, including the GM character, to Thomas' domain. I'm thinking that before we get there we could have some dialog between our characters. Like gladiators did before being thrown to the lions.

[Bast]

sounds good, chatting is always nice

[lukavminaev]

Then, I can throw my monk's body after Emmerich or Bast for backup defense XD

I am okay with any decission, will try to tag along. :)

[Pwyll]

What's the latest we can start? If we can have maybe a couple of days, I should be able to push out the last of my crafting and possibly speed-craft a second weapon for myself, maybe do an armor too.
I'd just need a couple of days hard working on it since I've also got assignments to do IRL. Crunch week before mid semester break.
