[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3646909, member: 7006"] Through conversation about tactics, the group comes to the following conclusions... 1) There are probably three levels of enemies to their goals. The patrols on the outskirts that are guarding the trails, the ones at the huts outside the temple, and whomever or whatever is inside the temple proper. 2) Rogan and Aern saw one patrol on the main trail heading south, but Krustach did mention there were a few trails to the temple each with groups patrolling them. Whether these other trails are on the far side of the temple which they didn't see, or if the main trail heading south eventually splits into seperate fingers, that is unknown right now. 2) The party can either deal with each level in succession, or try and sneak past one or more levels to just get to where they are going. The advantage of going in succession is that they clear each area first and thus won't have to potentially deal with as many enemies should things at the temple go badly and an alarm is sounded. The advantage of sneak up is that if no alarm or alert does get sounded, they avoid many more potential combats. 3) Based on the distances Rogan and Aern walked from when they saw the patrol to when they came upon the huts and the temple, they figure that if the party attacked the patrols first, any potential help if an alarm was sounded would be at least a minute or two away (if not more). So if combat went well they might be able to take out the patrols in their entirety before any reinforcements from the huts or the temple showed up. 4) The huts and temple are so close to each other that any attack on either will potentially be heard by the other unless speed and care is taken to minimize noise. And if the patrols aren't first taken out, those reinforcements would only be a minute or two away. [/QUOTE]
