Hanable's Hunters, Part I & II

[Prof Yeti]

Marek d'Cannith - Paragon/Wizard

"Hmm...unfortunately, ogres aren't sensitive to light like orcs are--in fact, their eyes are pretty amazing, able to see equally well in day, in utter darkness like a dwarf, or even with a small amount of light like an elf. If we fought in low light conditions and I transformed, that would only leave Marek who only has normal human vision, I think."

Turning at the mention of his name, Marek moves closer to speak while whispering. "I am all for any plan that calls for us getting any advantage over our enemies. I have a torch of comtinual flame and a half dozen sunrods. And though I would prefer to save them some of my alchemist fire or a spell will turn the ogres into torches all by themselves." After a moments pause, he begins again. "As a last ditch emergency there are also the potions of darkvision, though again I would rather wait for later in their use. But I like the idea of sneaking into their camp while some sleep and ending them. For that I can hold back since my skills at stealth are sorely lacking, or not as you decide I am needed."

Hobbes - Shifter Ranger 2/Barbarian 3

"Hmm...unfortunately, ogres aren't sensitive to light like orcs are--in fact, their eyes are pretty amazing, able to see equally well in day, in utter darkness like a dwarf, or even with a small amount of light like an elf. If we fought in low light conditions and I transformed, that would only leave Marek who only has normal human vision, I think."

"I believe that you speak the truth but I don't care how well you can see in the light or darkness, if it is pitch black outside with only the dying embers of a fire going and then suddenly you are woken with the sounds of combat around you and then the sun erupts 20' in front of you, there will be confusion. How much you are effected is a matter of debae but if anything it will give us some precious seconds to hurt them badly."

"Does anyone else have any suggestions? And I will happily scout out the camp ahead but I would like at least one other to accompany me, just in case."

Firavel d’Thuranni, Male Elf Rogue/Dragonmark Heir

“Just so long as we ambush them, I do not really care how we do it as I do not relish taking on an ogre face-to-face...though I can manifest a magical darkness which would likely add to their confusion. Well I could use the break from trailing the party, so I will join you to scout their camp Hobbes.”

 

[Bront]

OOC: I will remind you that you have been following four sets of tracks, which has not changed.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Only four? Hmm...if we actually had anybody who had good Will-save-based spells, we could slaughter four, even if they are advanced in some way...as it stands, we have the muscle to beat four normal ogres with some difficulty, but I can't promise anything if they are advanced in some way (like that ogre barbarian in the MM--he's got a vicious streak a mile wide, he's a killer!))

 

[D20Dazza]

Whitlok Dwarven Ranger/Extreme Explorer

Whitlok appears eager to advance on the Ogre's position "Is it worth those that can getting stealthily into position and then the rest of us pretending to blindly walk down the path towards our apparent doom? Make the ogre's think that they have the strength in numbers and hopefully they will attack without thought to tactics? I know a good dwarven battle chant that normally upsets the big nasties" Whiltlok says with a determined smile.

 

[Prof Yeti]

Marek d'Cannith - Paragon/Wizard

Turning at Whitloks words, Marek' normal smile seems to falter a bit. "You want us to just walk into a camp full of Ogre'? Well it isn't something they will be expecting, that is for sure."

As long as you consider me one of the stealthy ones, says Kerlokh

 

[Bront]

OOC: So, Firavel, Hobbes and Kerlock are going to sneak forward and scout?

 

[unleashed]

OOC: I guess so unless anyone else want to add themselves in, though that is pretty much a 50/50 split of the group...any more in the stealthy party may compromise the bait.
