Sometimes I forget I have to deal with a Bear brain.
To be clear I'm not mad they attacked us and got us good. That was to be expected. They knew where we were and that was intended. That's why the plan was to have an intimidating camp with large fires showing we do not need to hide. Come if you dare! It's psychological warfare. Of course it's a bluff but better than hiding and freezing to death. Instead we got the worst of both worlds. No fire so we were attacked by beasts and Bandits ambushing us At least one of both should have been avoidable.
As Tamamo said I just wanted to have a proper breakfast with Cat, admire my dog ears and then at least get a chance to set out in an organized manner instead of waltzing up to the mine in a row. If you had said next scene you'll exit the tent to go to the mine, we would have prepared. Regardless of the outcome and if they had ambushed us in the same way, that's not relevant here. Relevant is that we have a chance to try our best with our abilities.
I really recommend stating what the next scene will be if there's a significant event like venturing out. I remember we had this and you asked us if we're ready to leave.
"Cook breakfast"
That requires fire, smoke especially with wet wood, and if 4 bandits lit a fire all night and in the morning in your area outside your fortress, are you going to let them do as they will?
Yes, exactly. As I said, we needed a fire. There was no point in hiding. They knew where we were for the entire time. Not making a fire in the morning changes nothing. That's why I terrorized the enemy and planned to make a large camp in sight with fire. To show them we're not afraid of them and so powerful and numerous we don't even consider them a serious threat. If a cat can't run or hide, she'll make herself as big and threatening as possible to intimidate the enemy. Basic tactics.
[Ashley] You have to admit you are kind of being a terrorist by throwing their pet's mutilated head over the wall. And whatever evil monolog you yelled into the wind as well as what you're planning on doing to the victims. I thought we were supposed to be the good guys? I will probably die but I'm with Joy on this, FAFO.
I'm an alien monster and professional pest remover. Never ever forget that. I am generally really nice but yeah, FAFO. I'm far from done with those guys and terrorizing the enemy is an effective strategy that may even save lives if we manage to make them give up or leave rather than fight. I'm not here to kill humans but we tried to be nice to the bandits last time and failed miserably. There will be no second chance. So unless SheShe determines someone in there is not an enemy, nobody will get out of the mine alive, whether human, werewolf, orc or giant spider. The ear collection must grow!
