"Well, unless Daveed has any objections, I'm guessing it'll be up to Irabeth to command the paladins. Meanwhile Aron suggested Anevia to take the rangers' command, which I'm fine with. Her combat style already gives her plenty of experiences with ranged skirmishing tactics, and the rangers have been trained to conduct hit and run while avoiding a close melee. Since Anevia is less used to shouting at a large group, I also suggest putting Sosiel with her so she can have some spell and morale support on the order giving (aka Charisma booster)."
"My recommendation for the battle is simple: at dawn, the army with move up to the Southbank plateau from the east, into a good position and begin volleying the cultist armies with their bows. The two armies will take a staggered formation with the rangers to the side and slightly behind the paladins. This should entice the enemy to engage our heavier troops first and -- if they try to outmaneuver us -- allows the paladins to mount a cavalry charge into their flanks. The paladins will hold their position and eventually engage the enemy in melee, while the rangers will keep their range to pour a steady stream of arrows against the enemy's flanks."
"Based on how the enemy army is scattered all over Southbank, the command team would have to move through the riverbed to stay undetected. I suggest we move up to still under the bridge under cover of darkness and levitate/fly up to engage the enemy. Daveed?"
