Estra would be happy with a nice necklace. She agrees females can all cast
spells.

Are you bringing any dwarves? The gnomes and Pomeroy and Estra are staying
behind. Estra is only pouting a bit.

I saw we head southwest and turn more southerly to hit Malkord from behind.
Assuming Malkord is south. Take the indirect path to malkord, wherever it be.

Also think that we should bring some mining tools, or maybe even some miners.
Not to mine, but to seal some of the entrances. And if we have access to
something like stinking cloud or cloudkill, or that insane plan Sean had a
while back about lighting up the toad caracasses and letting the toxins settle
in to the caves, back when we were south at Temple Point, we should consider
it. At this point, stuffing the tunnels with combustables and lighting them up
may be the best we can do. We'll have a gobber roast. But then, maybe we
don't want to give Ezanus the idea to try on us....

Thinking to holly to pass through the OG's.
We strike once we are ready. We can move as two or three strike teams. One
goes tunneling the others cover above groubd ad support the strike team. I
guess there will be many ways out so we have to cover most of them. The cover
strike team also has to deal with the response from Ogres and other friendlies
while the other clear the Goblins.
We also need to make sure we have enough at the cove to defend.

If it were truly a cake walk, we wouldn't gain any XPs from it.
We have more continual light sources than we can shake a stick at, including
Sean's Quimby-built maglight (ok, two of them). We have highly skilled trap
defeaters. And as already noted, our ability to dish out damage is limited
only by the goblins' willingness to die.
That said, as Sean has said so often even he is tired of hearing it said,
whether we go on this mission is not up to him. He still believes the benefits
outweigh the risks. Others with more skin in the game, as it were, might not
agree.

Hard to say. Yes, the goblin warrens will definitely give them home field
advantage. But there are eighteen spearmen, several longbowmen, Nesgrous,
Johnny Mac, Hagar, Ahearn and Sean can get something in excess of thrity two
melee attacks off every round, and every hit kills a goblin. Figure Hagar and
Johnny may do a minimum of 6hp damage without magical boonuses with each hit.
The weaker ranger Sean does a minimum of 10hps with each hit, and I have no
idea what sort of magical power Alga brings to the equation. Just the core
four plus Nesgrous between 280 and 600 hp of damage against goblins in a single
round. I know from the MERP game that you like to see the numbers, so them's
the numbers here. Lots of attacks, most will hit, and every hit is lethal.
And that doesn't include the rest. It'll look like a bad video game.
Biggest problem will be traps. Not even really afraind of ambushes, given our
strength.

Is Holly still with us? She expressed an interest in accompanying Carandolana
north. If so, she can 'transmit' the thoughts. Are the guardsmen still up for
battle knowing it is going to be underground? It appears unlikely that we can
burn a cave to the ground, as it is already beneath it.
Given these revelations, does anyone have anything to add to the planning?
Sean assumes we are still going. Cizvar will remain outside the caverns, I
presume. Unless he can cave in some of the entrances.
Anything more about the plants?

Jaitbax is a name we heard before, actually. Listed as Droolbane Leader. We
heard of Zirbnicht as well, Claalgulp told us about him. Zirbnicht the
Cuckold, as his female, Leega, is being banged by his bodyguard, Yankall, who
Cizvar knows as Yank.
Does Claalgulp think they might be less on guard if Cizvar leads the way? If
they see him?
I assume there is a lot of goblin ale for Cizvar to be found there. And making
more would be one of the many things any friendly goblins could do, for which
we would pay.

Elmore will learn the following:
Malkord is a relatively small goblin community, maybe 250 goblins or so (this
takes several irritations to get past many). You are not sure if that is total
or just warriors.
The shamans are the chiefs' wives. There are two of them. Beautiful women. I
would like one for myself, if you can do that.
The guard creatures are plants and toads. Big mean killer toads.
The village is mostly underground, like your place here. The brush can be tough
to get through if Ezanus is in a bad mood.
