KL is hoping to keep the elemental engaged for a bit. It'd be nice to solve the problem without combat, but I'm not sure if any of the PCs have magical or extraplanar skills and knowledge. If so, speak up!

If nothing else, keeping the elemental engaged gives McGinley time to get the civilians off the island and hopefully away from danger.

Umbra has a knowledge skill of world mythology but not magic. We need a bonobo wizard!

True! Where did Oleander go? I wonder if we could get his advice? If we think that's possible, KL would mention it to the elemental.

[Leitz]

Well, we've seen the Elemental's attitude, and it is aware of life and death. So we know it's a jerk and can be killed.

[Rex]

The question now is how.

[Leitz]

IIUC, KL can't do anything yet, since it's Phase 2. He can't really act until Phase 3.

[Leitz]

Now might be a good time to go over how teamwork works again. How do we declare the action, and what happens if someone fails the teamwork roll?

[shaidar]

The original teamwork post is here.

Is teamwork limited to two people?

If not, then I assume if someone fails their roll then it doesn't adversely affect those that did pass?

I'm just thinking: is there any downside to all those attacking rolling teamwork? (although Eclipse and Umbra only have the basic 8- level).

[gurusql]

It is not limited to two people, there is no theoretical limit.

If someone fails it doesn't adversely affect those that did pass. If zero or one people pass there is no benefit.

The only downside, is that everyone MUST attack at the same time (of the lowest DEX / Initiative or later) of the people doing the teamwork.

[shaidar]

Guys, I'm thinking those of us attacking just plow in there together and try some teamwork.

[Rex]

Agreed.

[Leitz]

KL is going to Force blast the thing, and he'll coordinate with whomever. We do have comms.

[Rex]

Maybe the comms would give us a bonus to Teamwork?

[Leitz]

I will be read-only (at best) all weekend.

[gurusql]

I will get an update out on this tomorrow.

[Leitz]

How much "mystical" knowledge do we have in the group? I know the new guys have stuff we haven't explored heavily, but that and mentalism seem to be a weakness for the team.

[shaidar]

None really.

Umbra knows a bit about world mythology. We could contact Oly and see if he can give us any pointers.

We might get something out of the Demon agents.

It is definitely a weakness of the group.

[Rex]

Not much. Grimm probably should have something but I didn't think of it at the time so something for him to work on.

We could use Oleander as a resource while Grimm brings his skill up. Especially since DEMON seems to be active in the story-line.

[Rex]

That seems our best option for now.
