Remnants of the Horde:Back to Myrach...

[doghead]

BTW. What, apart from the PC's, is the make up of the forces in the keep. I remember something about a hobgoblin commander. And I know that there are a few ogres.

Did you already answer this one? Did I already ask it?

 

[Velenne]

Same here; I've been done for awhile, just waiting for things to move along. Durgo's asleep and waiting for morning.

 

[Jeremy]

Ditto. And busy buying presents/wrapping/assembling/etc and working. I haven't even gotten to fire up any of my recent gaming acquisitions this week.

 

[deadestdai]

I'm about too. Just waiting to pounce on a new post.

 

[Uriel]

Ok, guys.

Just let me know if you want to move off towards Castle Zuregath or something else.


Left at the Keep are 20 Hobgoblins <Lvl 2 Fighters> & a Lvl 3 Sgt.

12 Lvl 3 Hobgoblin Fighters

1 Lvl 6 Hobgoblin Marshall ,Lt. Sruka

3 Ogre Muragar <Ogre+2 Lvls of Fighter>.

3 Hobgoblin Dire Wolf Riders <2nd Lvl Fighters>.(Stragglers that amde it back ahead of you guys to the Keep).

 

[Jeremy]

Bargo goes with the majority of important people.

 

[Uriel]

Bargo goes with the majority of important people.

Jeremy, I am disappointed in you...I was sure you'd make a clever remark about wondering what troops the Keep had left, not what food...

Bargo hasn't eaten any Goblin in a long while...

 

[Velenne]

To Castle Zuregath it is! This Keep isn't Durgo's to command or he'd bring them all along - to the hells with any futile attempt to defend the pass.

Barring that, he's on to complete his mission.
(As an aside: Uriel, if you've got that old email with Varn's exact words in it, I could use a refresher. I remember the important parts (I think).)

 

[Jeremy]

Like I said, I'm frantic with holiday bustle and it hasn't ended, I'm currently on hour 6 of assembling and tweaking my wife's new/old system with a massive headache. So comments from me are likely to be short, sweet, and lacking in panache. Sleep.... Sleep......

 

[doghead]

I agree with Velenne. But Tsu'koka would lobby for that, or some option other than leaving forces to defend the keep, if it comes to it. Leaving them would be a pointless slaughter (based on what the scouts saw - and reported back?)

Some options (to my not-particularly-military mind) would be to:
- Take them with us.
- Send them to the castle by a different route.
- Send them out to harry the elvan forces from the rear. (Even if they just keep killing the scouts and scirmishers it would help slow down the elves, i think.)
- Booby-trap the castle?

Or perhaps some combination of the above. Even if they were ordered to stay, if they had any sence, they would just high tail it out of there as soon as we were out of sight.
