S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

[Leif]

*AHEM!* Forrivara hastens to point out that if we enter while the vast majority of the giants are SLEEPING it will have much the same effect as silence and invisibility spells, at least until the first pitched battle occurs, which would spoil invisibility and silence anyway, and that way we could save the spells and use them after the first battle, so we could effectively DOUBLE the effectiveness of our sneaking.

What if the giants are nocturnal?

 

[Leif]

What of the raids that we have heard about? Have the people said that the giants raid their homes in the dead of night, or during the daytime? Surely we've heard something of this during our journeys to the steading?

During the day, mostly.

During the day, mostly.

So every indication that we have is that the giants are primarily diurnal. That means that a raid on the steading in the middle of the night would probably catch the vast majority of them asleep.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Assuming that they're sleeping much these days, as you killed a pretty good chunk of the tribe, not even counting their pack of pet wolves....

They might be a bit on edge.

 

[Leif]

So what you're saying then, S@s, is that we might not have to do additional fighting at all? Just give it a bit of time to sink in how badly we've abused them so far, and they will just pack up and leave? And, obviously, leave all of their valuables behind as a tribute to us and as further inducement to not pursue and kill the remnant of the tribe?

 

[Rhun]

Perhaps we could lure some of the giants out of the steading?

What a GREAT idea!! Hey, let's use Aeranduil as BAIT!

Meh, that why we have minions
