That's what the characters know about it. But:Zero Credibility said:What chokepoints? It's a courtyard with two door and a tunnel.
You would attempt to bar the front door to prevent any more from getting inside with you but it would take time and you would have to do it while fighting the ones that are already inside. And there are other ways out of the building, Derryth and company came through one, there is however only one way out of the chapel and that is through the barred doors.
There is more to it.Fangshi said:"I want to know the floor plan of the building, entrances and exits, chokepoints, all of it."
No, that means they are about to enter the courtyard. And that is a big difference, as holding the chokepoint or a breach in the wall is easier than allowing the enemy in and then fighting them.Zero Credibility said:If we are fighting them in melee that means they are already inside the courtyard.
Not all of them. Since this scenario has such a heavy L4D vibe, I expect these to be somewhat rare.Zero Credibility said:A whole army of poisonous monsters that can climb walls and ceilings.
Exactly. But they had no military minds, no fighters and zero combat experience. Just remember our skirmish with the Reds.Zero Credibility said:Defending the courtyard is probably exactly what the defenders tried before. Before they were eaten that is.
If you go in underprepared, the story will repeat itself.
We are planning to thin their ranks significantly before that. We are not going to settle here for life.Zero Credibility said:If we are planing to slip away than we are voting for the wrong option, that's 3A and nobody is voting for that.
1A is us retreating in a hurry, abandoning the wounded and the children alike and hunted by the superior enemy forces. If we break them or chase them away, why would we not run for it?
The tunnel is a narrow place with the ramp as the only way in serving as a natural chokepoint. They have to pass through the trap to get to us. The courtyard is wide with no bottlenecks. The choice is obvious.Zero Credibility said:And why would you prefer mining the tunnel over mining the courtyard? If we mine the courtyard we can take out both them and anyone coming through the gates as well.
Mining the area the front gates lead to is possible, and we will be doing that, if only we buy ourselves more time.
