Let's see, how did our decisions work out? We decided to ambush the enemy camp, got off one fireball before we were driven away. Basically no harm done.

We decided to wait to attack the enemy camp until morning when we knew there were there so that Malif could memorize different spells (he had phantom steeds instead of fireballs). We also didn't put a watch on the enemy camp. They attacked in the middle of the night instead of us. We failed to either do them damage or defend the town's food supply.

Vernon ran off by himself again. Instead of dying, he managed to locate someone who most likely was the enemy leader; we failed to dimension door after him, thus losing our only chance to get to our target.

We chased the enemy over the next day. We finally caught up to them, then decided to sleep to relearn spells again. They left, and we waited, assuming we could catch up to them again. By the time we did, they had reinforcements.

In short, we accomplished nothing, did no damage, failed to save the town, and squandered the opportunities that we had. This is as bad a performance from us as I've seen, pretty much ever. Pathetic.
