ATM, due to it being fog, Melee is the best course of action. As a Range weapon needs time to work out the aim needed and when you can't see something till the last moment bows and arrows would be shit. 2/3rds of the Bowelves Swap out bows for Swords/Spears  Group together at a reasonable distance, move the caravan towards the center. Use the spearelves to cover the rear by forming a phallax, while the unarmed elves who are between the rear guard and the caravan collect random stuff on the ground to pelt at anything that attacks from their direction... Those with Swords are the front guard. Spread out at arms distance so that they have enough space to swing while 1/3 of the Bowelves stay equipped with bow and use the space given to set up quick volleys when available. Not wildly firing. If anything if the Swordelves are face with a large swarm from on direction, they should crouch, the bows fire, then the swords counter the remaining that was not hit by arrows...

All this if the 'voices' are hostile and killable... ^_^
Thiiiiiiiis~

I don't see why you peeps are so adverse to that, yeah it was potentially annoying when a person would stretch it out dozens of characters long, but this it much less so. And it's not like he's insulting you.

I agree with forming up, but I think we should wait to attack until attacked. Firing blindly isn't too likely to hit anything anyway, and if we don't have to fight the kobolds/alligatormen/amphibianmen/luigis we might not want to. Animalmen in particular are likely to be more susceptible to diplomacy than pointy things.

And I mean, even if we DO decide to kill them all it's not like we can't initiate diplomacy and then change our minds. Or extort them out of slaves, or whatever.

I agree that four or five i's are not that bad but it inevitability turns into a quot pyramid of one-ups-man-ship ending after a this with forty two I's in 36 fount and ether the GM or toady coming in and stopping it.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

Heartily concurred. Note the lack of extra vowels. As we form a defensive perimeter, be sure to station a few sharp-sighted warriors right next to each Mule, to PROTECT THE HORDE FROM SKULKING FILTH.
