USH'S LORD OF THE RINGS GAME PART 4- The Hunt in the Hills

Yea I'll go with the other group too, lets at least get something done.

Ok, all together!

Disgusing as a Dunlending is sadly a bit of a non-starter. You need to look horribly primitive to pass as one and they don't wear much- kinda like the Scots from the Braveheart era. Even if you had the right skills, it would be extremely hard (and impossible for anyone with a touch of Elf about them).

A surprise attack is possible but tricky as it would mean walking into the encampment without being spotted. You could surprise them at the point where you start charging in, but then much depends on how fast you run in.

Lacharon can indeed try to snipe but as he went for the easy observation he does not have a perfect read on their outside sentries so that is not risk-free.

If you have metal armour, you can wear it for this but bear in mind it slows you down.

Menelacar will don his mail.

I suggest Lacharon tries to pick them off with his bow. Menelacar, Anglomir and Talin can then hide, and flank the Dunlendings when they attack the elf.

I like this plan. Use the Elf as bait!

Haha! Well, so long as the Elf agrees...

Yeah, screw the Elf.

Hey...wait a minute.

Seriously though, I think Lacharon has a weakness against blunt and sharp weapons, so that might not work.

The others would intervene before they got to you!

Ok, idea.
What if we do the sniping plan, Lacharon snipes the sentries, from slight distance, enough so that the Dunlendings have to come out of their encampment to engage him. However, all of our heavy melee fighters are hidden somewhere between the encampment and Lacharon. Then when they come out of their encampment, we hit them hard.
I can help with the hiding, because I can cast Shade and be useful.
Lets kill them!

Not all of you guys are necessarily great at hiding! But if you can help, then obviously that is something to consider.

This is not an elite killer Dunlending super-force, so luring is a possible option.

Lacharon is willing to lure. But it would be preferable to him if he didn't have to go close range. So maybe he could snipe from some place near by, and when the Dundelings approach, you guys emerge from hiding and flank them, and DESTROY THEM!!!

Yea, thats the general plan I think. We intercept, and you just do the sniping.

So, who is making Stalk/Hide rolls to hide?

Do we all have to make them? or one person for the group?

Everyone apart from Lacharon, I think.

I should probably still be sneaky and find hide somewhat from where to shoot at them. Could be advantageous.

No, everyone has to make one and anyone blowing it will blow it for everyone.

Indeed, Lacharon still needs to get into a good position.

I also have a great Stalk score, so every opportunity to be stealthy is greatly treasured.

Indeed so! I shall happily assume you are making such a roll.

Can we say if anyone blowsthw roll we'll just storm the camp?

Also, if possible we should try and take one alive.
