JA"S - The Four Lands - Wandering Heros

"Hit and run tactics as they march back to their stronghold would be fine. Unfortunately, I expect them to move faster than us." say Llovizna. Then pauses as if thinking before continuing "Say do we all have horses?"

 

[kinem]

"Hold on a moment" Yon says. "Just how big and tough are frost giants? When I thought the four of us were going to take one on, it sounded tough. Now you say that the frost giants alone may outnumber us two to one, not to mention the ogres and others.

I'm more than a match for most human warriors, so normally I don't mind being outnumbered, but this sounds like a fight only the greatest heroes of legend could take on."

 

[Rhun]

"They are tough and strong," says the dwarf, taking the pipe from his mouth. "A single strike from one will likely kill any one of us. We will have to use stealth and cunning to achieve victory here."


OOC: I'm with Kinem...a single Frost Giant is a match for a party of 7th or 8th level PCs. This pretty much sounds like suicide.

Newson responds, "Obviously this will take some work. Work such as true heroes perform. So let's get started. We need a map to this stronghold and some horses?"

 

[J. Alexander]

'Memon has ruled his stedding for over 150 years, it is rumored to hold an incrediable horde. I did not say it would be easy but if you feel the task is beyond you then I shall send our couriers for others to take up the task"

 

[kinem]

"What do you guys have in mind? They'd kill us with one blow you say? It seems we would have to avoid combat, think like kobolds, slink like kobolds, set traps for the giants? How could that work? I am a fighter, not a sneak. Perhaps an archer or a mage could engage them at range and then run for it on horse; but that is not what I do."

"What do I have in mind? Well sitting here doesn't get me any closer to that 5000 silver pieces. I want to ride out."

 

[kinem]

"Sorry that planning the mission is such a waste of your time." Yon stands. "I won't be a part of this half-assed expedition. I'm sure there is other work available in these parts. I wish you luck in your quest, if you choose to go through with it."

He grabs his pitcher, opens the door, and goes back to the first bar for a refill of beer.

 

[Rhun]

The dwarf shrugs. "I do think we will need to be smart, and use some stealth to achieve our goals. But I think it will be doable. We'll will have to avoid raising an alarm, and we'll have to isolate each giant and deal with them in turn."


OOC: Did we ever get an Rogue's Gallery for this game?

 

[ghostcat]

"We'll I'm an archer, so hit and run attacks suit me fine. However, your horse has only to stumble and your dead. Then what do we do when they get to their stronghold. Frontally attacks are out and if you try and sneak in and are discovered your toast.

Look I'm sorry to be so negative but while it may be possible to succeed, its more likely we'll all end up dead with Memon still alive. So anyone have a concrete plan."
