Kali takes a moment to ponder the specifics, and suggests the following to his companions:
"Someone with good rope skills ties at least 2 ropes to each body (in case the drakes eat through one during their feeding frenzy.
The first body is placed a couple of steps down, and then, with pressure on the chest, like someone sitting on it, someone slices the head off, which will either drop down the stairs or be kicked that way. The bodies aren't that long dead, so we should also create a flow of blood for the drakes to follow. At this point we can move back to just around the first corner, and when the drakes head on up the stairs can pull the body.
I suggest we abandon the first body at the corner, as trying to get it around will just be too likely to go wrong, with those pullers gradually moving back as the body moves along and scampering through the doors opposite just as the drakes reach the corner.
We will prepare a second body in the entrance room, along with a trail of blood and limbs from the corner. This can be pulled by a second team up the stairs to the exit. This second team needs to be able to disppear into the undergrowth, wait until the drakes leave, and then come back in."
He looks around to see what everyone thinks.
"Or....." he continues, "we could just kill them!"

My rope skills - Thievery +4, anyone better?
I've also got a good stealth so would suggest that I'm in the second team.

That seems a reasonable plan- certainly it will work, if it works (Skill Checks), if you see what I mean.
And so...
And so, theese are the things I need you to do, and the questions I wish you to answer...
If you wish to attempt Kali's plan (such as it is) then this would be an improvised Skill Challenge in the following parts-
1) Construct the lure- what is the lure, how is put together and someone roll an appropriate Skill check to get us started- others may aid of course as there are no time constraints here.
2) Place the lure- how do you do this- where do you want it to 'land'- someone roll an appropriate skill check and/or aid with Powers- Forceful Push etc.
3) Lure the Drakes- who does this, how do they do this- roll an appropriate skill check, others may aid perhaps.
4) Lure the Drakes up the stairs- similar to 3) above.
5) Lure the Drakes through the entrance chamber- what are you going to do with the other dead bodies in here, where is everyone going to be positioned. Then how do you do this, who does it, and a Skill Check to follow.
6) Lure the Drakes outside (and avoid being in their path)- pretty much as 3) to 5).
You would of course gain the same XP as if you had defeated the Drakes for success.
So to begin with, someone take over and complete Part 1) Marinating your Goblin/s...
I expect over the course of this challenge for all PCs to do something, and to at least roll one Skill Check or use one Power to do or aid.
Part 1) please- someone start us off.
Most of the above questions have been answered, and I'm saving Kyalia's Stealth check for later- the point that you are at on the stairs is safe- as it were.
So, someone start me off, I repeat the plan is in place- see Hairychin's entry, feel free to add lib your part. All we need now is a check to go with preparing the Goblin's ropes et al- and remember you have lots of time to get this right so you can aid each other.
I take it you are shifting the other dead bodies.
Seriously though...
GO...
