"In ancient history, villages used to 'pay tribute' to conquerors to prevent them from destroying the village and/or killing the people."  He takes a sip of cola before continuing.  "Perhaps we could use something like that to keep the 'horde' from the town or from most of the town.  We set up a small feast with cheap beer and food, say 20 chickens and 20 6-packs.  And a few trinkets like yard animals or anything else that might catch their eye.  Enough stuff that they'll have more than they can carry.  We might even throw in a bag of coins.  Maybe pennies, nickels, or dimes.  I don't know what they may or may not want.  Oh, and maybe some cheap tables, chairs, and dishes so they have something to destroy."He takes another sip of soda. "We could possibly use this distraction in a couple of different ways.  One would be to keep them from bothering the town.  Another would be to keep them together, which I realize isn't what we want if we're going to fight them here.  A third thing we might accomplish would be to put tracking devices in the yard animals and/or the bag of money.  Well, that's an idea.  Pick it apart or add to it.  What do you think."</blockquote>
