Flying is more about getting past terrain - over water, over a wall, over acid, etc. For the mages, it is about staying out of melee
I think you may be underestimating the immediate challenge, remember the pregens were getting destroyed and were heavily out-gunned in their fight. The scraggily looking thing cast Horrid Wilting on the Sorceress, which is a lvl 8 spell, same lvl as Ignis and I can cast. I would expect that the resistance will be level appropriate for US, the pregens were dead. Remember, even the shock-troop ape-minotaur things can teleport (also a high lvl spell).
Don't hold back on these guys, expecting push-overs. Hit them like they will kill you if you don't.
Let's see what happens in round 1, but this may turn into a tactical retreat to the besieged city, where we fight, move, fight, move.... all the way to the city. I do have an alternate plan.... but that is hush-hush until I see how the first round plays out.
I won't be holding back. Garth's plan:
I intend to run between the nearest two, think F4ish.
My AC against AoO because of movement is 40. If one of them tries to touch attack me as an AoO my AC is still a respectable 34.
I will Mythic Vital Strike (8d6+184+1d6cold) the bejesus out of #6. I will enjoy a minimum +35 to hit because of my own BAB and the flanking provided By the pregen monk/fighter. I don't yet know if we will be magically buffed with any more +to hit/dmg..
If that attack hits, I intend to Great Cleave #7. That'll only be 2d6+23+1d6cold, but with critical range of 16-20, anything's possible. (Also at a full BAB of +33)
If that shot hits, I'm technically allowed to Great Cleave #6 as well,, still at full BAB+ flanking bonus.This stated course of action will leave me in position where Griz can enjoy a flanking bonus from me, should he desire.
Of course, I'm hoping for lots of support from Ignis and Rasso so I don't get magically raped.
And also hoping Tyrael rains some steely death from above on these hellspawned assholes.
If anyone sees a problem, probably should tell Gartholomew now.
