I believe in cautious negotiation from a phalanx. Since we only have 9 skilled bowmen remaining, we need to protect them.

We need to try to skill someone up in non-sword/spear/kill/fire/torture/make dead/axe crazy diplomacy,

DO NOT start the quote chains again or you will suffer my wrath

Yes yes, listen to the child. (I joke)... Gah can we already agree that we have a system, both Nuke and myself have the two most thought out ones. Go back a few pages and find them... Actually here...

Nuke's

KOBOLDS
They have no ranged weapons, and can hardly outmatch a grown elf in armed combat, so the only threat is being overrun by larger numbers. So, the elves in the rear move forwards and the elves in the front move backwards, and form a defensive circle, with trade-goods in the middle- don't want them getting stolen. Archers should swap for swords where possible, as shooting arrows into the mist is A)wasteful and B)just asking to hit each other by accident.

Also, we should do something about the elves on the dead elephant. Draw silly moustaches on them or something.

My own...

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...

[Volatar]

For the record, my vote goes to Nuke's plan (no offense Neyvn, but I don't think throwing rocks will do anything more than aggravate whatever is out there.)

[Acanthus117]

I'm with Nukey on this one.

[Samthere]

Mostly Nuke, but I still feel that wasting arrows isn't a big deal for us and blind-firing before we get into melee can only do us good, even if not much.

[Volatar]

What if the things aren't actually hostile, but if we start shooting they will become hostile?

Think: Its a forum game. He is liable to try and pull tricks like that on us.

No meta-gaming, brah

[Samthere]

Sure, but everything about the situation leads to me assuming they're hostile. If they shout out "WE'RE NOT HOSTILE!" then we can hold our fire. Hell, we could even ask, "ARE YOU HOSTILE?"

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I haven't changed my vote. I'm still for the hedgehog and wait plan, which is what Nuke suggested later.

[Karnewarrior]

So Darkerdark, When's the next update?

[Tabithda]

I think that it would be a good idea to ascertain if these unknown creatures are our enemies or not before any military action is taken. Perhaps by saying "Are you friend or foe?" or something to that effect to the unknown creatures.

In the event that they are hostile, which is very likely, I think our best bet would be to use the plan that Neyvn made.

[Karnewarrior]

BE YOU FRIEND OR FOE?
BRING YOU PEACE, OR FOOD?

[dragnar]

BE YOU FRIEND OR FOE?
BRING YOU FOOD, OR BE YOU FOOD?

We are elves after all.
