I didn't think it was possible until I did it, but I'v fractured a bone with a normal sock.

Throwing the laden clothes at the unicorns suddenly sound like a much better idea.

Throwing in DF is OP though, you can kill things with sand,water,berries,meat, bones, and anything else

I do not believe our gm is going to apply the more stupidly unrealistic portions of DF.

Yep. Throwing is a bad idea. We have no skill

And saber is likely useless against a charging unicorn... So no need to unsheathe it
We may try to drop the belt and that's all. We have no throwing skill and we need concentration for magic

In fact I prefer to not move, put spear in direction of charging enemy and cast. Multitasking is a bad idea

"Stupidly unrealistic"?

It's enough to overencumber us, i don't think we can throw it with any significant force.

If you want, we can take some out, but a sack of platinum is pretty good flail, even if we don't throw it.

I think the same thing may apply to using it as a flail.

Anyways as was pointed out displacing the dirt as time-mines to entomb the unicorns legs seems like the safer option to attempt to circumvent any magical protection, however it seems like they could just evade the holes in the dirt?

I'm not really clear on what would work at this point.  Can we get a post from the OP on all of this?

Also, move into where there is a lot denser bush. So, that there is a lot less maneuvering room for the unicorns.

OP's philosophy is to stay out of your way and enjoy the debate until he has to update.

Oh, and since these are a legitimate threat, one last suggestion.

If everything goes to hell and it looks like we might die, shout for Gwen to displace herself and timeskip ourselves a few days into the future.  Meet up back at the tower.  Every villain should have an escape plan.

Why don't we try doing that... now? We have very little to gain from this confrontation and everything to lose. To quote a vulcan "the best strategy in a confrontation is the one that reaps the highest possible benefit at the lowest cost." Tell Gwen to get away and then time skip.

Vote to fling into future for, say 1 or more hours. That would be more reasonable than flinging us forward a few days. At most, I would say time skip to nighttime considering our bonus in the dark.
