[OOC] WD's Against the Orcs

[renau1g]

I had that problem the other night (DAMN YOU SPORE!)

 

[Padreigh]

Same here... although in my case it would be "Jupiter damn you, Europa Barbarorum".

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Spore is a horrifically good game, I must agree. I've stayed up that late with it at least once, haha.

And now I'm off to class. I hate assignments that you have to hand in at the beginning of class - it means I can't skip the class Otherwise I would still be in the land of dreams

 

[Walking Dad]

Sorry for delaying. I have to rewrite, as the next part was planned as a skill challenge, that included social skills.

 

[Padreigh]

What do we do? Stakes? A trench? Traps?
I'm in favour of stakes and pits.

 

[Lord Sessadore]

I am also in favor of stakes in pits, with some camo overtop if we can manage it. Even without the camo the pits would help control where the orcs come in from.

 

[Niehaus]

Agreed, I doubt the walls will hold up for long if we spend the time constructing them. If fill the break in the wall with a discuised pit I think it'll entice the orcs to fall into it. I think it'd work best if we could set it up so the cover we put over the pit only falls if 2 or more medium sized creatures are standing on it and we could place our defenders at the edge of the opposite side of the pit to keep them from passing over it without falling in. If that makes sense.

Edit: Another thought is do we have time to dig a pit could we construct another trap that's just as effective and will take less time to put together. Like Pad's Caltrup idea from earlier, they'd be easy to put together and we could spead them over the gap in the wall.

Thumbs up for new trap ideas. Don't forget that you will be fighting from a higher position (the village is on a hill).

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Is it elevated enough that logs rolling down the hill would do some damage? I'm thinking of tying up a big bundle of logs at the top of the slope - cut the ropes and you have a ton of wood rolling down the hill at the poor orcses

Yes! Keeep the ideas going.

(Yeahh for roleplaying and brainstorming instead of social/mental skill challenge.)
