Should you follow them or not? CAN you follow them. Aleran glances from person to person with a dumbfounded look on his face."Excuse me but am I the only one here that hasn't suddenly lost his senses? Just remember that these creatures not only stomed this keep but killed everyone here and we have no idea how powerful this Varg really is. I say that we get out of here and report back to the king, we can not be faulted for not acomplishing an impossible task." Aleran pauses for a moment and quickly collects himself before continuing."Besides, if we fall in this attempt who will report back to the king?""Yes, this is definitely worth considering, to fail to even get information back would be a total loss." Tyler rubs his chin in thought. "I remember a dozen total, and Varg on top of that. 8, though, we have already dispatched. I wouldn't worry about the other 4 if we take them by surprise. As Aleran points out, though, we have no idea of how powerful Varg is. Although, we may be able to find out. I could get a rough idea of whether or not he is defeatable, but I would need to be close to him, perhaps . . . under him." Gerard absently fingers his blade as he looks back and forth between the others  Woden seems reluctant to speak and contents himself with grooming Skaris. Uri comes out of the small room to see everyone else piled around the dais and wanders over, looking confused. Swipe sits quietly on the dais, even his short legs not quite reaching the floor. Tyler wanders around the room, slowly, then says "Varg is defeatable if we take him by surprise. It is true he would kill any one of us in a one-on-one stand-up fight, so we shall have to make sure that it is not a one-on-one stand-up fight. His guards are along the same lines as what we fought last night. If we are to do this, I would suggest we come to an agreement and develop a plan quickly." Tyler gives everyone a moment to consider what he's said, but before anyone can speak he says, "I would suggest this: Aleran's magics have worked on these creatures before, so he could incapacitate a couple of the guards and then he and Woden can kill whatever of their number is stunned while the rest of us mop up the guards. During the surprise, Swipe can attack Varg from behind, from a distance. If luck is on our side, and our wills are strong, I believe that we can reduce their numbers to Varg alone in a matter of seconds. Then . . . well, I can think of nothing other than simply piling on him. Surely one of you souls can come up with better." The silence in the room, however, speaks volumes.</blockquote>
