[QUOTE="ammulder, post: 6963876, member: 6864710"] She simply taps the ground in front of everyone who speaks, until Moon Moon. She nods at his words. "Ah, so in addition to the smash-bash-crash, there is some small measure of wisdom here." She pauses to collect her thoughts, then: "You may not have considered your enemies. If you kill the dwarves, they will be sure the artifacts in the mine are all the more valuable, and they will send twice as many. If you kill the farmers, the next will show up determined to be twice as tough. If you destroy the trading post, they will return with higher prices and more guards. Killing, killing, killing... It will just make them more determined. "We need to 'let the thing in the dark take them.' "So you will attack here, here, and here." She taps the road to the mines, the farm, and the town in turn. "But not to wipe them out. To make them miserable." "I have three things you might find interesting." One arm reaches into the depths of her robe, and a severely wizened hand emerges with two sheets of parchment and a glass orb with swirling darkness inside. "One. An order for supplies to the mines. Without food and tools, miners find the work difficult. Two. An order for a fence-builder. Without fences, livestock does not stay at a farm. Three. Slow-acting poison. Break this in town somewhere where they will all be exposed to it. It will take days before they notice -- and by then, it will be too late." "It will take you about a day to get from one point to another. We will meet back here in a week. When you have hit all three, leave a trail into the mountains. Make sure you are not followed. Only then, return here. It will take us several visits, but by the time we finish, these fools will be determined to leave and never return!" She hands the orb to Moon Moon. "If you doubt yourselves, ask the dragon man what to do." (She'll give the papers to whoever wants them.) [/QUOTE]
