D&D 5E Tall's PotA Campaign - IC

"Oh look another ambush, this is getting old fast" Duran whispered to the group

 

[Yavathol]

Ilvellios immediately takes cover, gesturing to the others once he had done so, that they should back the way they had come.

OOC: No, that's fine; no more questions for the bard. I'm curious who they are, but we are a bit outnumbered. My vote would be to backtrack and avoid them entirely, unless someone has a fireball spell they want to try?!

 

[Azurewraith]

OOC: I have entangle..

Duran follows the monks lead.

[Azurewraith]

"I'm afraid you may be right"

 

[Yavathol]

"I guess it depends on whether they're here specifically to ambush us; or just anyone who comes along. We could find out by pulling back and then taking a wide loop round behind them.
Then we wait for, say, a merchant to come along, and if they leave him be, we know it's someone specific they're waiting for. If they do ambush the merchant, we can attack from the rear, with the merchant as an ally to even the odds.."

OOC: Is it possible to see if they all have ranged weapons, which would discourage the entangle strategy?

 

[Charwoman Gene]

"So what do we do if they leave the merchant be? We attack, right? We'll be attacking no matter what, better not risking the complicated path and keep this simple."

 

[Yavathol]

"If they leave the merchant, or whoever it is, then we just keep moving, 'cause I reckon they're only after us!"

 

[Azurewraith]

"If they are only after us how did they know we would be here? This is worrisome". Duran's forhead creases as he thinks of the implications of what he just said.
