The village of Prumen

OOC: I don't recall that part of the thread well. Could you summarize, IC perhaps?

OOC: i'd rather not otherwise i would already have done so, it's pages 8-9, a tiny bit on 10 almost exclusively

Jasper's eyes grow wide as he listens to Dai's story. "So there's a full-scale invasion coming?" He glances at Oculus. "This sounds more like a job for an army than a town militia."

"So, you encountered some goblins who were going to blow up a bridge south of town. They said their leader was a human or elf who was at another bridge nearby. You then took their explosives and went to town and never saught out their leader. Is this correct?"

Chuckling, Dai shrugs in slighted agreement, "if'n ye be want'n to put it dat way, sure. 'though 'm still considerin seek'n their leader since m' treatment 'round 'ere ain't much better."

Solomon

Solomon stares at Dai a few moments, then flexes his shoulders slightly. "You have done this town a great service by tharting the goblins plans, but that finding that leader would have been a good purpose for a group of this sort. You are not from here. This is my home. It is my highest duty to defend this town from any and all threats."

"Since it appears that Prumen is under great threat, I think we shouldn't tarry here. Assualting this fortress would probably get us all killed, and even if it didn't there are other dangers facing our town. Let us return and inform the captain of what we have discovered, including the incident on the south bridge. Then we can seek this other leader, or perhaps lead a more substantial force to this garrison."

OOC: Does Solomon know if Pruman has any seige equipment? Would he think the militia would have any chance against this garrison?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Telic breaks in.

"If you'll recall what I said about attacking when we had the advantage, I think that it might be best for us to move soon. Observe that even with the militia they might very well be better trained and more numerous than us. Thus our advantage lies in surprise, which we could lose. Also, I may point out that if the goblin was right about what was in these kegs, we have a secret weapon."

Here he pauses.

"Also, I might point out that perhaps Dai and myself could infiltrate the camp. I'm may not be a woodsman, but I'm *ahem* a not unskilled liar, and if the two of us made it in, we could perhaps arrange a way for you to break in and use those kegs to greatest effect. A single good strike now could cripple them."

OoC the town doesn't have any but the militia is well trained and could build some in a few days. As for your chances, from your position it is difficult to know how many of them are inside and if they are more threatening opponents than gobelins inside. Also the stranger (Dai) was able to defeat four of them alone.

Oculus listens quietly, weighing the options. They could get help from the town militia, or from Captain Farimond and his crew... he pauses to think about Valeria for a moment... but there was something about them he just didn't trust. No, he didn't want to do that just yet. And taking the garrison alone seemed foolhardy. But this business at the bridge, that was something they could do.

"Telic, I like your idea, only let's try your... skills... at the bridge. The rest of us will stay hidden and cover you as you and Dai go in and find out what's going on. What do you think?"

Or, if there are only a few goblins, Jasper and I may be able to take them all out from a distance...

 

[Manzanita]

OOC: Is Dai still carrying those kegs?
