Chaos. They have an immediate choice that could have long-term repercussions (though at this point I don't know enough of the Resistance to know if we should be "meta-gaming" to help them).

I change my vote to the boyz also, mostly because I know you're just looking for an excuse not to write the orc update and will keep stalling as long as there's a possibility that something else wins.

Also, it is better to get the retardation over with early on.

I have long been an advocate of XTREME measures and I realize that our Act I debacle was due to a severe lack of said XTREME, but our boss has a battle plan, and Gorgutz isn't exactly an idiot either judging by his use of patrols.

Please, keep in mind our dear Warboss isn't just any plain old Ork, he's a monocled Ork. I'm well aware of the hit that morale could take and how dangerous it is - but this battle plan has already been put together from the outset, and I don't like deviating from a course that from the text looks like we're pretty committed too. I say we take the hit to morale and make up for it by slaughtering these guys and taking them by surprise.

Normally, I would be all for XTREME, but here it doesn't make sense. B for Br00tal Cunning

Hahah, great summary. However, our playthrough with the Lorekeeper ended pretty successfully, I'd say. Also, in Cypher's vision, remember that pretty much everybody unanimously voted for him to stand firm in his beliefs and not to bow down to the Emperor. Sure, perhaps it would have been best to go with Ahriman instead of ordering Exterminatus in hindsight, but at the time and given the things that Ahriman was saying, I thought he was really planning on fucking us (and humanity) over.

Normally, I'd say that you're completely correct about the Ork thing. But look at the circumstances. We have a Ork Warboss complete with monocle and top hat who has from the outset already been planning a more tactical assault than the typical Ork method of charging in and smashing things. He's already committed to sneaking in and doing things a bit more methodically. After this battle, of course we go completely EXTREME, but it just makes sense regarding the circumstances here. He's already committed to this course of action.
