<<Hmm... perhaps your distraction tactic could work, but you'd need to attract a widespread audience's attention and keep their attention even during our attack. Is that something you can do? If not, all it does is delay our opponents a small amount.>>

"Isn't there a large temple? That might be a good spot to try such a tactic, especially if it was flashy and attention catching. Something akin to goblin fireworks, perhaps? It would also attract the regular citizens as well, which would impede the soldier's ability to get back to the wall."

Grimtooth flies back and tells his companions "Well, the door looks easy enough. It's just a simple crossbar on the back, with a couple of pathetic looking halflings guarding it. Let me know when we're ready, and I'll go open it."

Returning from his reconnaissance, Tenth relays the following missive to his companions: <Be aware that there are also 40 defenders on the walls of the encampment.  There are two on either side of the gate, four in each of the six ballista stations, and 12 spread between the open areas.  As I am capable of flight, I shall concentrate my efforts on these defenders beginning with the ballista stations.  This should minimize their impact on the impending combat.>

'Zahkh muses, "Are we able to sneak inside? An attack from within the fortifications would likely be considerably more efficient."

"Unless someone can teleport me, I cannot." the over-sized ogre softly answers, not wishing for his voice to possibly carry to the walls.

Meveri tries to coordinate the attack as best as possible. She can't stand the circles they are going in just trying to lay waste to a mere Halfling-fortress.

<<I can get the Ogre past the wall if all we are going for is an all-out, direct assault.  That is, if we've abandoned the idea of a diversion or distraction. If not, we need a solid plan.

Slut, what would you need to get in there and attract a sufficiently large audience while we move to a better attack position? We want as many of the soldiers distracted and unprepared for combat as possible.>>

"I could just turn into a naked halfling girl and scream for help while a goblin chases me across the field.  It would help if he lacked trousers and had an erection.  To get the rest of you in I could teleport you but since I aint seen the area there's a small chance we'll be off target."

Rao, beneath the city, lay practically slumbering. He was starting to get bored; as he grew in size, his attention span decreased exponentially. Besides the fact that his body heat went down if he stayed still too long, and a dragon likes to be burning hot...
I'm here and ready to keep confusing the hell out of everyone I meet.

The gnoll, growing bored, says "Well, I guess we need to start by taking out the ballistas. Meveri seems well suited to that, and I think Tenth, Slut, and myself could likewise make our way to a ballista each unseen.

The halflings will probably start fighting back then, so we should probably open the gate at the same time we start attacking the ballistas, to let Yurgret and our goblin allies in.

Slut and Tenth seem like either or both of them should be able to get the gate open, likely by tricking the halflings into opening it themselves.

Sound like a good plan?"


Not waiting for an answer, he says "Good, let's go." And flies back up over the wall, still in bat form, heading for a nearby ballista.

Yurgret smiles a vile smile as he hefts his axe, his bloated form cracking apart into his usual half-spider form before making a beeline for the front gate moments later, clearly intending to smash it down if not opened for him.

Meveri swiftly sinks into the ground, heading toward the battlements. Upon reaching one of the ballista towers, she waits underground for signs that her allies have made their move.
