I wonder if we can let kalfie head into the pass to see what he can see again. Beowulf, Kirsten and myself can be a mile back with the wagon. IF we fortify the wagon before hand we can be ready with missile weapons so that as they chase kalfie we can take some out by attacking with arrows. If they stop to attack the wagon Beowulf and myself can attack them while kalfie comes back using his bow. I think this may put some hurt into them. If we plan this right we can set up some traps that kalfie knows about and can avoid but they will run right into.

What do the rest of you think?

Patrol Camp

If we do then I am switching out my horse to the heavy horse that is pulling the wagon and we will have to play out this scenero first.

So we go within the half mile stop north one mile the east to the other side camp the night and attack them at dawn?

post for direction at present

The groups stops half mile out from mouth rides north a mile then cuts back a 1/2 mile east of the mouth and finishes the search or heads back to the camp at K8 if getting too dark.

New post for the next day

The group rises soaks the wagon in water and ensure they have plenty of stones for their slings and heads to L10 where the wagon is placed and fortified with green (not dried out) tree limbs (greenery removed) and such so as to make it possible to shoot arrows out but not be seen clearly. The heavy horse is going to be rode by klafi and the lighter horse used to pull the wagon. On his heavy horse he will only carry his axe, sword, and bow with a quiver of arrows. 10 extra arrows will be taken with him the rest left with the wagon.

Once at the location the horses will be tended to and pits dug with spikes in the bottom. Kalfie will carefully note these locations and they will be marked by a stone to the right side of each pit.

once completed Kalfie will ride out and investigate the tracks more carefully in hopes of luring the thieves into chasing him. Once he hears/sees their movement he will ride far enough in front to prevent being hit by arrows. He will lead them through the pits and towards the wagon. Once past the wagon he will ride by it and loop north to see who or what is following. If no pursuit he will ride into bow range and lash out at the rear of the group. If they try to ride and attack him he will use his axe in melee combat while riding.

Those at the wagon will shoot arrows and sling stones into the on coming group. Klar will have his horse at ready to ride and join Kalfie if need be to lure the group towards the wagon. The horse pulling the wagon will be united and a dummy put on it and sent to flee when Kalfie gets closer. The intention t make it look like those on the wagon see the group coming and are fleeing.

Why don't you want me to ride up and check things out close its not like I will disappear cause you can still see me from half mile.

Mainly because you do not have a horse? Are you going to use one of ours? Or would you prefer to try to out run a group of horses?

Patrol Camp

Our gm strongly discourages trading items between characters you either buy it or are given it. It is just to help him keep things straight as to has what when they get offed.

Speaking of that if any die ensure to plunder the dead body especially considering we have a wagon and all.

Since no disagreement beside Beowolfs kind offer to be the sacrificial lamb I will make the first of the posts. We might get chased even at that any how. I do not know what the limit of approach is. but you will all get to see some skeletons at least .

Camp Patrol

I think we should do it like you had first stated Kalfie. We can use green branches to fortify the wagon have it sit about 2 miles out from deaths mouth. We can work on making traps like you said and place the rocks in a way that leads you through with no problem. We can be ready with bows and slings for the thugs to be near enough to use on them. I am hoping that we do not get them all after us but maybe a few like around 9 or 10 of them. If that occurs and they hit the traps we can add some of their own people to the bones that are around here.

So here they come shall we stand and tip the wagon over on its side close as we can to the mountain and fight? Klar and I can make good on our retreat but Beowolf and Krusten are dead meat.

Figured his was going to happen. It does seem how ever the only route we can find lays within that 1/2 mile of the deaths mouth. I bet 20 in the group we can tag soem I have no doubt. In hand to hand once they are off the horses It will get dicy.

Krusten push's the wagon hard directly toward the mountains, once there the wagon is emptied of arrows slings stone and melee weapons. The wagon dumped on its side in a spot that is most protective.

Bows and slings readied and melee weapons on ground close by. If any grappling hook are tossed to up right the wagon it will be severed.

Horses will be secured the best they can in the area.

Post

This is now do or die no way to out run that we can be sure. Nor do I think we are close enough to make use of any of the camp sites we had set. Let me know if you disagree.

How do we know they are coming towards us or for us? Anyway supposing that is the obvious I am all ready to hide and use whatever I got to fight back at a distance of course. We should not wait til we reach the mountain we should start emptying the wagon now and like fast.
