Island Empire, Part III, The Lich's Curse

"I'd prefer a wide open field, so we could see them coming a long way off, but I guess the channel will have to do. Can we put pits at each end, with spikes at the bottom? Otherwise, I'd say swinging traps, with spikes. I'm thinking we might thin the dogs a little that way. I'm tempted to start out in the tree-top, myself, and teleport to the group after I soften them up."

The hallway can work for me as well. I like the pits idea. Gnurl would you be bait in the middle of the hallway if we connect you to a rope that we can remove you quickly? Zurrik, you can teleport multiple people right?

OOC - Scott, are there trees within sight of the hallway?

"This island must be having some strange effect upon my hearing! I would have sworn that Radoon said that he wants to use me, our only Wizard, as BAIT!

Hmmm, well, I suppose that might work. BUT... I will NOT have you dragging me around the island on a rope like some weird, arcane fish lure! If I wait in the open, I will use my own powers to protect myself, thank you very much!

Come along, Featherwind! I see what they think of us. We'll just go and sit by ourselves here in the middle of this space, FAR AWAY FROM THEM might I add! Maybe the enemy will treat us with a little more respect?"

OOC - Scott, are there trees within sight of the hallway?

Yes, with 20' of the start.

"I can also act as bait for the trap. I'll position myself where ever we wish to finally stand and fight - hopefully by the time they make it to my position they'll be thinned out a bit. The battle should center on me there, with the rest of you either with me or out on the flanks."

OOC - Great post Leif!! You had me laughing so hard I cried this morning!! Thanks for the great start to the day.

"H'Roosh...that would be great! Especially if you can attract them into the hallway and then flip over the way so only they are trapped in the corridor.

So I think when we are ready I will be in the trees to fire daggers at them. I will tie a rope to a branch so that when I am ready to close I can get down quickly.

At this point I'd like to enlist whomever can aid me in making so traps. I guess we'll go with concealed pits at both ends of the corridor with sticks whittled down to points at the bottom of the pit."

OOC -What is the ground covered with here? If it is just sand, it might be pretty difficult to conceal.

You're very welcome! It was great fun to write, too! [/sblock]
Having had a sudden thought, Gnurl winks, smiles, and nods, whereupon Featherwind takes to the air. "Might as well have as much early warning as we can get of the approaching foes!"

OOC: Gnurl has given instructions to Featherwind to return to him when the foe is one hundred yards out from the wooded corridor.

"I fear that to be of any help at all once the fighting starts I must stay within melee range of our foes. It seems my role in this production is to be the focus as the rest of you (or most of the rest of you) fire away from the fringes. In the meantime, I can certainly lend a hand with the digging!"

OOC: The ground here is sand, but there is some sparse grass, rocks and some foul smelling rotting seaweed closer to the sea.
