USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE V (LIGHT SIDE)- Harmony

Enough to know that footprints wouldn't be the best way to track something that size in a forest.

And what will you do when you find them? I need a much more comprehensive plan from you guys.

I was thinking that we should be careful about attacking them, we don't want to make them stampede because then everything would be hectic. Perhaps we could scout out the area around them and try to herd them somewhere, trap them.

Or even set up traps to herd them into. Boulders and the like.

We can try using the method we used for tracking them before, looking for crushed plants and broken trees.

Luring them into a place where they'll be hindered by their size would be great, if we can find such a place.

Are there mountains somewhere nearby? If using footprints isn't the best way, perhaps we should use our eyes? Or we must be lucky and they're force sensitive 😛

So I think the plan should be the following: We setup a trap of some sort and then all of us will split up in groups and go searching into the forest in different directions. Once one of the groups finds the Merongam, the idea is to get their attention and then start running/jumping back to the trap.

but how farther we are from the trap, the more difficult it is to get them there

The canopy is rather thick to see accurately from up the mountains.

What manner of trap?

You may wish to consider that you are not really in a state for another punch up. And the Merongam are armoured.

xp reductions will soon come for dawdling like numpties in the forest!

Xeth ain't a numpty!

Trapwise, we don't have the resources or ability to dig big pits. We should design traps that we can drop on them; force them to stampede in a direction, then drop rocks or trees on them, maybe make them loose with our machetes before hand and keep them propped up with the Force or vines.

Sounds good Xeth. We shoudl try and box them in behind a whole bunch of trees.

How could you force them to stampede?

Spook them into it ala Obi-Wan and the Sand ppl for instnce

or even use the force for some light & magic show; they're herbivor so spooking them should be relatively easy.

Throw stuff at them or something and then run for our lives.

Anyway, best to get a move on, sitting still while there are numerous beasts trying to eat you isn't a good idea. Maybe we will find something during the walk to enhance our plans.

You may be onto something in general there, Jovan, but remember the bior's part of the cycle is just to eat the pickings on the corpses afterwards- that's no good to you.

Hmm, a cliffside that they can fall off would do nicely. S'long as we cam go down and get them afterwards.

How large are the trees, Ush?

They aren't giant trees, but they are tall enough to make it very dense.

What Ush is hinting that is something has to eat the majority of the corpses before the Blor swoop in.
Might want to track/watch the hell out for those guys.

but we should actively lead those carnivors to them otherwise what's the difference with just picking up the bones we have right now?
