Heroes, Inc.: Kryptgarden

[kirinke]

Alethia speaks privately to Naverone.If we kill Kurin, could you snatch both their souls? I don't want to condemn an innocent to hell if I don't have to. And more importantly, if I help you, can we keep Kurin from causing mischief?

Navarone says "No, I cannot simply snatch souls out of the air."

Timrin's looks down at Vara's corpse and his frustration spews forth at the pointless debate, "I don't know about thousands, but there may be a couple hundred out in the woods right now planning a counter-attack! We don't have the luxury of debating the do's and don'ts of magical experimentation people."

"There is a force of demonic undead loose in the woods around us. Regardless of who made them or why, I think it's a safe bet that no good will come of it. They need to be stopped and now. If that means destroying Kurin and risking the same of Piergeron... then so be it", Timrin says hauntedly.

"We need to seize this opportunity."

His look is hard and grim, like that of a condemned man. It is clear this decision is not one made in haste or zeal.

"It's best we not wait then. Where shall we attack?"

So are you going to try to get a few quick reenforcements and press deep into Kryptgarden, or are you going to return to Waterdeep and announce what you've found and your victorious skirmish.

Alethia looked grim as well. "If we're going to attack, let's go about this intelligently. Simply charging in there is simply going to net Kurin with more living toys to play with." she thought a moment. "Maybe if half of us go in, and give Kurin a brief battle, then pretend to retreat and lure him out, while the rest hide nearby we might be able to catch him between our two forces."

Alethia sighed inwardly at Naveron's reply.Well if you see a chance... Take it. she told the demon. And if you do manage it, I see a sanctify the wicked spell in Kurin's future. she added grimly.

"Interesting point," Timrion conceded, "Kurin may not know that the rest of you have rejoined us just yet."

"Dalin," Timrin shouts, "What did you judge their numbers to be? Particularly the force around the trebuchet?"

"Dalin," Timrin shouts, "What did you judge their numbers to be? Particularly the force around the trebuchet?"

"Its impossible to say. They are spread out and probably hiding. Around the trebuchets, there are probably a couple dozen still alive, but there is no telling how may are in the woods overall. I tihnk we have to assume that their numbers are quite large."

By the expression on his face, that was not the answer Timrin wanted to hear. Though we should be able to dispatch a few dozen, the average soldier has little hope against them.

"There are many lives on the line here. Our greater force appears at serious risk if we do not make a hasty retreat. I however am loathe to leave Piergeron's soul behind, however it may be bound. It's why we came out here for Helm's sake!"

He looks to Alethia and the scout group, "Do any of you have multiple teleportation magics? A quick counter-strike is the only reasonable way to accomplish both tasks (go after Kurin while simultaneously having our major force retreat)."

OOC: Matt, I am having a hard time wrapping my mind aroound the numbers here. How many baddies do we estimate? How many guys do we have with us and their capabilites?

You have a couple dozen of your own men, mostly low-mid-level but some higher, as well as a little under 100 low-level soldiers with a few mid-level leaders. The fiendpires who attacked you were CR8 at least, each. Youdont know how tough their warbeasts or leaders are.

You are quite low on telelportation magic.

"Timrin, we go in there, we're falling into a trap. With Perigeron's soul as bait. If we go charging in, we will acomplish Kurin's goals, not ours and not Waterdeep's. Regrouping is the better option and one Kurin will not expect. Retreat is not a sign of defeat. It is simply a sane way of managing your resources." Alethia said, after hearing all the arguments.
