OOC: It seems like the old man is convinced there are wolves. It is 4:30pm. I suggest we all gather together and get ready for the night (around 6:00 will be dark). We need to set up everything as well as to chose who will do the watch first, etc. Also those with the old man should ask him for the map.

Ok the house sits north south long ways. That should give us a place to start. We should be able to see the whole pen while sitting un the house roof if it is sturdy enough. this should be a great place for an archer. Since the attacks come from the south we should gather some wood and place a fire at the center of the south fence line. a few paces away from the fence so it does not catch fire too. We should set shifts with two people each. One with a bow and one with melee weapon. This should provide us the means to identify whether it is a wolf or wolves. Plus having two people on shift we can protect each other. I would say four shifts three hours each

Am I missing something?

Daphne please respond to this question.

This is your action during the time Klar and Kalfie were chatting.

We also quickly need a plan for tonights actions this could be fast and quick. If we can manage to kill half or even a few of the wolves most likely this will be over.

I suggest oiled premade fires be placed around the sheep pen that way once we see the critters we can have one person light the fires while others further away so as not to be blinded by the fires can use bows to attack. The others can be in the area just outside the pen as one does not wish to be stuck in the pen with the wolves.

Perhaps we can draw this in paint and link to it. I will work on that right now to plot the picture of the farm as we can view it. Just to make it easier to describe our plan to the GM.

I think we also need to let Kalfie set as many traps in the surrounding area as possible to try and trap some of the beasts. If nothing else we might be able to funnel them into a know path to the farm. But that would be after today. For tonight we mostly need to prepare to defend.

The rest of the group prepares oiled(quick to start) fires 10 feet from the sheep pen fences one every 6 feet. Daphne asks the old man and daughter to help with this chore. If this appears it will take too long a larger space will be put between the fires.

Once completed Kalfie will scout to the south for tracks so as they better may know from what direction the wolves will approach. Ensuring he return back to the farm in plenty of time to bed the horses in the barn. The chickens and pigs will be put in for the night also.

Bowmen will be placed so that they can see what approaches the pens and will signal each other when something comes. Two torches can be kept burning close as possible to the guards but not so close as to interfere with their night vision (So behind them).

The wolves will approach slow ad we will need to stay down wind of them. When in range and sight arrows to be shot for one round then if they continue the approach fires lit. (We need to state where the two will stand.) I suggest one in the pen area leaning on the outside of the pen. One farther back that can start the assault and even maintain it it but be able to join the other inside the protective ring of fire if need be. But if we are to fight them by hand we need our back to the fire and stand in front of it so we can see them better.

Just a guess here much room to improve. On the roof is good as long as we can wake those inside I fully expect the attack before 10:00 PM. One person alone on melee weapons is a sitting duck. These are not small bush wolf but a larger cousin me thinks. Darn tricky shooting after dusk. The melee might end being primary defense. I hope to track them down and kill them in their den later IE bury them alive!

OOC: I am a bit confused. I don't fully understand what the GM wants me to do. Is he saying that Kalfie does not know what Daphne is doing? Is that's the case, so how am I going to reply if Kalfie can't still see me or are you saying I have to answer that question alone in Party Order myself? Thanks in advance.

We may be facing dire wolves? I think the fires are nice but if they are behind us we stand out silhouetted. What do we have for defense to keep them from us? We need to work that out quickly

Good, looks like we are making some progress here. Is Klar and Kalfie going to come look for Beowulf so I can get in on the planning?

You and Daphne are together with Sophia doing farm work. I am sure we will all be together soon so put your thoughts into the defense

OOC: Yes, let us get together first quickly so we can start planning.
Krakyn, great ideas! KNtoran, I was thinking exactly the same thing about the fire. If we really want to see who is behind this, I am afraid we will have to do it without the fire (not to mention it calls way too much attention).
