In the caves...

• wiki

• Proxenus
  • 2H Short spear.
  • Bow in case/quiver
  • Spell in mind: Demoralise.

His usual position would be in the second rank, pretty much in the centre. He uses the front right man's shield for missile cover. As he uses a long, narrow weapon the space on either side of him is open so the guys behind him can move up or back as needed, and if anyone goes down he can cover them while they are dragged back and healed.

• Dolwynn will go to Sword in prime hand, lit torch or lantern in the other. He'll strap his shield over his back and carry dagger and comp bow on his belt. If things get awkward, he'll ditch the shield first.

• Orendal Lantern.crossbow loaded, multimissile ready. Axe in melee.

• Rothar

Rothar carries his broadsword in his right hand, and medium shield on left arm. He normally carries a javelin held in his shield hand (something like a peltast). Also has a dagger at his belt. For a significant-looking battle, he'd plan to cast Bladesharp 2. He'd normally not carry a light source; he'd offer to go in front rank using shield, so second-rank can carry light sources. Of the goods, he'd be willing to carry an unlit torch and an empty sack. (He's already carrying a lot.) His regular carried gear includes his weapons, Adventurer's Pack, power crystal (at 0 out of 7 pts), Spirit Screen Matrix and fire-starter.
