Gaming this weekend

[Lee Gonzales]

Hello Team Fredricksmire,

Gaming is this Saturday starting at 5PM. 

Prior to 5 PM Morgan and Amy are having an open house Christmas party that many of us are planning on attending. I believe the general idea will be to get to their house at around 3, be there for 2 hours or so and then head to our house for gaming. I expect you all would be welcome.

As for the game...

Upon your exit from Oleg's summer home (which if you recall was re-constructed on the grounds of the Fredricksmire compound here in Port Victor) you see high in the sky many hundreds of Black dragons of varying sizes and ages. Exploding amongst their midst are shells from the large emplaced city guns - this seems to be somewhat effective with a few dragons taking hits and seeming landing somewhere down in the city. 

Scanning the courtyard for threats you immediately see the brutally charred and twister remains of several scores of large Draconic corpses and one or two large Black dragons. The sound growls, shrieks, explosions and rifle fire echoes nearby.  

Needless to say, this is a high tension situation, but you have been trained for battle - hardened by recent experiences and your blood sings to you with the possibility of WAR. 

After a few moments of gaining your wits you telepathically you hear Fischers voice - it is clipped, calm and full of command. 

He says "ah good - you have returned. I have need for you to reinforce the Citadel defenses. Report as soon as possible to the command center and take a chair - you are designated as team F6". 

Your mind fills with images of a route to the command center. 

Fisher pipes in again "Expect that you might meet some resistance getting to the CC in the form of Onus's forces, she managed to transport several squads inside the walls before I could fully button up the compound." He continues "I am coordinating with the Empire Mobile Assault HQ over Port Victor, they have asked us to help out with harbor defense, I do have some other in town assets I wish to secure - but for now we are taking a pounding and I am concerned about some of our big guns being taken out if we do need go more fully offensive." 

Just as he says this directly above you see an enormous dark winged figure dive down towards you. It  sprays a huge line of acid over your section of courtyard. Luckily it seems to be blocked by a large invisible force, but you can imagine that outside it must be nasty.  

Out of game...

A few requests I have:

* I think we could go a bit faster if we had some designated squads - I propose you break into two teams and designate two squad leads per team. Second I propose that you then put Sam in charge of the company proper, he has superior tactical skill and this ability has made a very large difference time and time again. 

* Scott if you want to propose squad leads and balanced teams I would appreciate it

* Other game intel. The Fredricksmire compound is usually referred to as the compound by your family, but the locals especially the military here call it the Citadel.

* Empire MOB HQ is located on the top of the hill in the older part of the City.

Questions?

"I have no assets to lend to the group in the form of power from myself" chimes in Cliff in a irritated voice. "But get me to one of the guns and I can either keep it working or maybe do a pretty good job of shooting it." He gulps some arcid air and continues "I studied seigeweapons a bit you know."

OOG: Ive got no spells or magic items ATM, Scott, put me with any squad you think I could help most with assuming I can maybe use some established tech to our advantage. Otherwise, I can still be a poor meat shield for folk. ;)

With most of our stuff gone, I'm good at climbing and hand to hand, at that's pretty much it right now. I can also flip around really well. Stealth missions, perhaps.

Note: Morgan & Amy's party starts at 4, not 3.  I suggest we start at 1 or noon and run until 5 to adjourn for the party instead of trying to fit it in before the game.

Hmm - how about this...

Everybody be at my house no later than 12:30 tomorrow. You get 30 minutes of setup, finishing lunch whatever. 

Then we go hard from 1 until 5. Then adjourn for holiday party, etc. 

Thoughts?
