"Olaf I like that plan and volunteer to enter the gate hoping to lure them out!"
Nidhogg readies himself setting aside the bow he collected off one of the knaves.

Highbough likes the plan. An experienced ambusher (as all Elf warriors are), he surveys the area for advantageous hiding/sniper spots.

OOC: Well, just let me point out that although Olaf is quite smart, he is decidedly not wise. So, he is good at coming up with ideas, but his ideas aren't always the wisest course of action.

IOW, when Olaf suggests something...YMMV. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

...and soon returns, having decided that the likeliest spot to execute an ambush in the immediate vicinity of the gatehouse would be behind a nearby ridge with a rocky outcrop near its crest. With two or three company members hidden in the rocky crest, and the remainder at the bottom of the ridge, any on-comers could be set upon frontally by those at the bottom of the ridge, and from behind by those hidden in the rocks.

Highbough shares his findings with the others, and volunteers to lead the group hidden in the rocky crest.

"Dieter and I are probably the strongest fighters." Olaf says, "So, we should be with the group at the bottom of the ridge."

Brushing his hands on his armored legs, Olaf stands and says, "No time like the present."

"Agreed", says Gustave, poking the last crumbs of some dry pastry into his mouth.
"I will lead the party at the bottom of the ridge", he adds, checking his blade.
"Now we just need a volunteer to draw the quarry to our snare."

Pelenwin will follow behind Olaf and Dieter, pole axe in hand. "These men are less than scum. Their deaths would be like the undoing of an avalanche, and it's my turn to save a mountainside village. Lead on."

"I thought the Dwarf put his hand up for that," grumbles Victor. And spits.
