REFUGEVILLE

Ten minutes is not a lot of time to prepare. I guess we know the head of Asmuth doesn't have a long range. fair enugh

Anything we could use to make delay them would be great and I'm thinkin...


Have we used our summon animal today ? And if we haven't.. could we summon a bee queen and if we do would  her whole swarm come with it? Because full plate armor is not going to protect from bee crawling and stinging and not only would it delay them, stop them from aiming their freaking freeze ray, and pretty much compellty desornaze them
Or if we had some way to produce lots of smoke that would work too. would cut their vision and armor still isn't to protect agaisnt it.



We won't get more than one shot, possibly two at most from the canon , just because that things is heavy and it'll likely take a while to just set up. It would be optimal if we could get them to clump up at best as possible first. Pits and trenches with wooden spikes would be great for that but in ten minutes we have, can't really set th





With their frost lances they will have a huge advantage in any distance fighting and they can probably freeze and shatter palisades. So crosbows might be good for a first surprise volley to thin the numbers but we should NOT get into a prolongued fight. That's aso why calling Bidabog why a great help will not be enough by itself. Sure she's powerfulla nd likely terryfying but if theyare organised, they can shoot upward and freeze her out of the air.




Here's a possible plan:


First We could have Bidabog use her fiery breath to coral them into a kill zone, make them regroup together to prepare to shoot her out of the sky and then...


Second, .bam, canonball right into the middle. Followed by a few crossbow shots. That won't take all thirty of them but it should 


At this point they should be scatterd and disorganised, let's keep it that way. Make them loose cohesion. (If we can't summon the bee swarm or make a smoke screen, then maybe Holkaborg, godess of madness could help us with that. Spread confusion and panic into their mind if she would grant us this favor. There might, likely will, be a price thoug)


And for the battle itself, make them come to use so we can take them with melle and whatever traps we already have. (pretty sure we builld a few int he house already ?) Some villagers disguised as wolves could hide into bushes and maybe in the river. Even if they are in full plate armor, the Dermillyu and our big mercenaries whould be able to crush them.


It'll still be risky, they still are trained warriors with deadly weapons and full plate armor and we likely will losoe some people but it's the best I cna see this going given the cirumstances.


-----------------------------------------------------


(Otherwise there is another option: The flight. We don't fight we fleeand wait for them to go away, they won't saty here forever. But doinfg this we will likely appear weak to Artimen and his Dermilyu not to mention Bidabog. This option means a greater chance of survival but pretty much any chances of storring a fight agaisnt the signet int eh future will be severly compromised. But hey it's still an option.)



------------------------------------


Finaly, we should send someone, preferably Kori seeing she can fly, with a message to the Zalugi. I don't think they can arrive soon enough to help with this battle but in the possibility this turn into some kind of siege or we end up having to flee or any sort of drawn out thing, their fire magic will be vry usefull against their ice lances. And if we die, well they'll probably apreciate the warning anyway.
