Benfal (Afina, Jaela)

Finnegan's away right now, he's with Moore and Surraruthru.

You can go adventure if you want, Afina. There are other generals and plenty of trainers, but if you feel you need to, that's your call.

If spending her time like this gives our forces that bit more of an edge in battle it's worth doing.

[Corwin]

The Master can do this, then!

On my part, I just want to be sure I've done all I can. Since people don't come train in my style anyway, my time is best spent seeing whether I can gain a last moment advantage for us.

[Anastasia]

I'll post more boat info tonight or maybe tomorrow (since holiday retail sucks) since I have tomorrow off, so let's table that for the sec.

What's your goal at the Terminal Archive, Jaela?

Afina, how are you looking to train people? Anything special?

[Corwin]

[21:01] <Jaela> Right. Loopholes. Jaela nods. "My bad. I'm new at this. New conditions, the death must be permanent and not allow for reincarnation or respawning or bullshit like that, and it's not the way where you just plane shift them home and kill them there. How about now?"
[21:08] <Koaway> 'It can be done.' There's a long pause before a reply, papers swirling furiously around Darvul! It almost entirely obscures him from view. 'Go to the sixth floor and seek Forgotten.'

I'm going to look into what the Archive has on permakilling devils on that sixth floor.

Afina will run war games with attacking/defending fortified locations. She'll see what the brain trust can dig up on Semyaz's favoured tactics and incorporate that kind of stuff into it along with a smattering of generic Hell tactics and Bel specials. It's less Afina teaching people how to murdersprint and more broad strokes command stuff. Her personal involvement will be giving the rank troops practice in dealing with elites, which will boil down to a lot of 'don't bunch up and get murdered by AoE, use battlefield control and stuff that doesn't go directly against the enemy's resistances, and if pushed into melee rely on buffs and lots of aid another to make hits count'.

As far as anyone needs to know if they get curious she'll explain it as prep for an attack on Lifasa, just so if there's any spies they won't give away the surprise advantage.

[Anastasia]

Thanks. We'll deal with NPCs going along in the next topic, Jaela. This one's done, I'll split you two off.

Sounds good, Afina, I'll touch on that in your new topic.

This topic's done.
