Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20200717161018/@comment-26073594-20200725042009

I would ask for the Inari to join me. I have no doubt she would make a good escort, but also I think fighting an enemy army with a superweapon would run counter to her skills.

Each of the others has something that helps them deal with multiple foes. The assassin uses stealth and poison to approach unseen and attack without the enemy being able to respond. The sharpshooter can attack from far away, on the high ground or behind cover. The Minotaur has earth magic and can likely shape the terrain to make chokepoints or cover. And the Grizzly has illusion magic which could spread confusion and panic among enemy ranks, which in turn prevents them from working together effectively.

The Inari, talented as she may be, has only her two swords. She may hold her own against one, two or maybe three opponents at once. But in any situation where she has to fight more than that she has nothing to even the odds.

Better to keep her in a situation where she can stay close to her charge and strike down anyone that dares lay a hand on him.
