Gran March Adventure

[Trollbabe]

Helidyn continues looking to Thrang : "The goblin's numbers are most likely too great for a small band of guardsmen to deal with. Well perhaps we can travel with the caravan when it leaves at light."

Draydo looks to all of you : "I think that thinning their numbers is good idea. Perhaps we could learn from the beasts where they lair. Their must be a leader that gives them their strength and bravery. Goblins generally keep to the dark corners of the forest..."

Helidyn pipes in : "Draydo you speak like a warrior... you forget that you are a simple tradesman."

Draydo recoils abit and hangs his head. Under his breath he utters : "For my brother I would be a warrior..."

"Per'aps," Verran starts quietly, "We should spake te the taskmaster. I'd 'ardly want to run away from the caravan and leave them unprotected."

 

[s@squ@tch]

ooc: Do we have a healer type in the group?

 

[Arkhandus]

(OOC: That kinda question belongs in the OOC thread, I should think......But no, we have no clerics or paladins, just a druid and/or a bard, I think)

 

[Trollbabe]

Helidyn gasps at Verran's suggestion. "To attack the goblins would be suicide!" The elf appears obviously afraid.

Just then the taskmaster limps into the cottage... "It has been suggested that I use a bed in here to rest. I couldn't help but overhear. Some of you planning on being heroes?" He moves to a bed and sits down. Painfully he bends to remove his boots. "You know we got that little bugger that Thrang caught tied to a stake outside. Maybe he could point you in the right direction." Lifting his legs into bed he draws a blanket overhim. "As I see it we can make Fort Endurance by mid day from here. Once there we can re-supply and mend the wounded. Plenty of downtime for heroics..." He smiles and closes his eyes.

So, ye'll no' be joinin us, then? Well enough. Mayhap we ought discuss tactics and such for such fights with these creatures.

Glancing up from the fire at last, Thalmarose chimes in. "Yes, it would be suicide wouldn't it?" Perking up at the thought. "As it's doubtful we could assemble a strong contingent with an organized attack plan." He puts away his companion and turns more fully toward the others. "I don't suppose it would help if we gathered a few footmen with heavy shields to hold them at bay, as those of us here seem heavily favor combat from a distance. Or amassing a force of beasts, to set loose causing turmoil in the goblin camp, so we could then pick off the panicked tribe members at our leisure?" Thalmarose gets up and helps himself to some stew from the pot when it's clear that no servants will be bringing it to him.

 

[Trollbabe]

Draydo speaks up: "I'll join you... I can carry a shield and I am not too bad with a blade either! If it means saving my brother I will do whatever it takes." The taskmaster keeps his eyes closed but answers the elven voice. "I will most likely need the majority of the guardsmen to ensure the caravan reaches the Fort. How many are you thinking?"

 

[Vertexx69]

"Well of course if we don't stay with the caravan all the way to your fort, it will most certainly be overrun by the goblins. So once we get your movable feast to safety, then we could track down those vile green skinned monsters." Rubbing his smooth chin in thought a moment Thalmarose adds. "I think half a dozen footmen should suffice if they have even rudimentary skills in battle."

 

[Arkhandus]

Thrang frowns. "I don't think we can wait that long, can we? Couldn't the caravan stay put for a day or so while we go out to find the captives and bring them back? I don't have much faith that the goblins won't just eat the poor folks or sacrifice them to that mean ol' party-crasher Maglubiyet before we get there, if we wait around an extra day or two to escort the caravan first."
