D&D 5E Undead Apocalypse!

"No, we won't do that, matey" Doogie shakes his head at the idea. "But I'd bet they would have the entrance protected, after all it is their way in and out, so I would guess it is somewhere in there. But getting access to it could be difficult, although I have an idea."

He smiles, "Let us go back to the others."

Once they are back with the other people, Doogie outlines his idea.

"The best resource we have is a lot of very hungry people," Doogie begins. "If we start a rumour that they are hoarding food there, we may be able to get a large angry mob to knock down the front door for us and we can use the confusion to get in ourselves?"

Fulgrim shakes his head.

"No a mob can quickly turn into a riot. To many innocents could be hurt. We find another way into the tunnels or come up with a different way through the horde.

Galahad looked aghast at Doogie for the suggestion of starting a food riot. But relaxed when Fhlgrim nixed the plan. "I could er... Try something to thin out the undead in a small area."

"So, the safest and less ressources consuming way was the tunnel but it seems to lead to bigger troubles than the zombies themselves. Now let's speak about the other ways we have at our disposal.

The aerial way, spell consuming, not much risky if done by daylight. But, like Bunny said, we don't even know if we have enough ressources to get all of use on the other side in a short period of time. "

OOC: In order to make things move a little bit faster, I assumed that Bunny's comment on the fly concentration problem not letting us fly all together, was IC. It led me to this solution.

"If we find a way to make a bridgehead at a distance of maximum 10 minute of fly from the walls during, let's say 2 hours, I can manage to send everyone away. But one at a time. It let Bunny with full ressources once we are there.

If we go for the 'breach the undead lines' way, it will be not less spell consuming I guess. A good diversion can change everything of course. It may attract most of the walker of a specific area and let us deal with less undead to pass through. But with this blockade, everything became valuable. So we can't make something explode or sacrifice livestock. I only see something like one of us attracting zombie elsewhere but again, it's doesn't help us from a ressource economy point of view. It bring us back to the fly plan. Or someone comes with a cheap diversion idea.

Maybe Oghma can help us and hold the zombie horde away from us long enough to get to a safe spot. It's up to you Galahad. You can be a good diversion with a fly spell by the way... forget it, just joking. "


Whatever we decide, we should wait for sun rise and be ready to go with a plan. So we get a full day to travel with less powerful undead on our tail. This day is too well underway.

Galahad gives Tycho a confused look.

"If only we could fly. There could be a feasible structure not too far away which we could pick for a meeting spot. Or flying people coule even work as a your distraction to draw the undead away fromnthe gates. But can anyone here do it?"

OOC: I.E. player knowledge?

"As I said, I can bring all of us there but, one at a time and in 2 hours. So the first to arrive can have a bad time waiting for the others. It's the only negative point of this plan. Of course, I'll be less efficient after that but it's ok, I'll deal with it. I want to let Bunny in good shape for the rest of the day. That's why this plan was not my first choice. The tunnels were a far better way.

Here is the precise timing:
The first to arrive at the bridgehead must wait 10 minutes max, depending of the distance. I can easily find the right spot for us.
Once the next one arrive, they have to wait one hour and 10 minutes, assuming it's 10 min of fly, for the third to come. Then 10 minute for the fourth. After that I need one more hour to arrive myself (if Fitz join us, it need only 10 more minutes).

This solution use my ressources only and it's not a big deal. It let everyone, even your Turn undead, loaded for further troubles.

We must wisely decide in witch order I'll send you away. It's maybe the best thing about this plan, I'm the last to go."

 

[Shayuri]

"Eh. If you can make someone fly, and I can make someone fly, lets send 'em in pairs," Bunny yawns, flapping a hand dismissively. "Otherwise it'll just be a dancing line of doom, where each person arrives to see the bodies of the LAST people...and zombies. Send the priest and someone tough first. They can hold the line until everyone else gets there."

 

[Fradak]

"I can go with that, my concern was to not let you empty at dawn. And you will have to wait for me, I'll need 1 hour to join you there."

 

[Shayuri]

"Anyone got money for potions or a scroll or something?" Bunny sighs dramatically.

 

[gargoyleking]

"Even if we can fly out, we'll need to come back in preferably with supplies"
