Off To War... Recriutment/Discussion

[Frozen Messiah]

Why not try an illusion to distracte instead of a companion because i think that the hydra is dumb enough to fall for it. It's up to the spell caster though, and I think we could do some damage to it. We could at leats take on head out of the picture with a Sunder attempt by Oneisimus + Burning Hands + all of us taking attacks of opprotunity= decent chance of success, but running is still a better opprotunity.

If anyone else has illusion spells, then by all means, go for it.

But even if we had full health, no poison, etc, I don't think we could handle it. In order for us to actually close with it, we'd have to get within its reach (10 ft.), soak the AoOs (2 AoOs, 4 attacks each, unless HM goes lenient) and then keep it occupied. Each Sunder attempt provokes another AoO. And it would quickly heal any damage we could inflict on it otherwise... Hence my position of "RUN!"

Of course, this is just my opinion from looking at mechanics. If someone else has a good plan for dealing with it, go ahead and share. Until then, Jareth will be focusing on survival and escape.

I had neglected AoO...yes, we definitly have no chance against it. So I will get the running shoes and you can get those nifty head bands, if you catch my drift.

Hydra = INT 2 so I will be palying it as such.

Weird thing is it has 4 heads doesn't that equal four brains how do they get so dumb??

Both Lora and Trinham have Ghost Sound. So we could try hiding and leading it away with illusionary noises.

The only trouble is that as a party we are not exactly quite, so as soon as we start running it will hear us. Still its so stupid it may dither for a round or two before starting after us.

 

[Sphyh]

good lets ghostsound it up and start runnin! idk what sound to make but idc as long as it works

 

[Myth and Legend]

Lora didn't prepare ghost sound last night, she got dancing lights instead. Which IMO should do the trick with it's longer duration

My guess? It's because all the brains are focused on "FOOD!"

 

[Sphyh]

exactly! which why if this fails i vote we have the thing chase mogins around while we escape and then the cat will, ideally , escape into the underbrush and catch up to us ltr

I would think the Hydra would be intelligent enough to realize that a cat wasn't a sufficient foodsource, then again, what sort of intelligence is an int of 2, anyway?
