[QUOTE="Ryltar, post: 2102370, member: 19393"] Allright, then. Some suggestions: 6 days is more than enough wood for a palisade. Have them build one, but one with a clearly accessible gate in it (which will be locked, of course). What I'm thinking of is something like this: (yeah, time for l33t ascii stuff) X |0 | X X | 0| X X |0 | X X | 0 | X X |0 | X ---===-------------- y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y with Xes being the defenders, == being the gate and - being the palisade, 0 being trenches or holes in the ground, y being wooden stakes to prevent mounted characters or big animals from charging. They will, naturally, try to break down the door. Have the enemy throw up some weak resistance while they do, but have the majority of their strength holed up behind the door, archers manning the "inside of the palisade" along the way, and have the troll hide in one of the holes for a nasty surprise. Have one ogre seal the far end of this "tunnel", and have the other one hidden nearby so he can assault the party from behind (coming from the broken-down door). Stir. Enjoy ;). [/QUOTE]
