[WFRP] The Bloody Crown OOC XV

[-Sentinel-]

And, again, you are assuming that the goblins will react by surrounding/attacking/hindering the recovery team. Earlier, you pointed out that a numerically superior patrol of goblins ran away from a large dog, but now you seem convinced that these goblins - deprived of leadership and with fire magic bombarding them - will react en masse to prevent the rescue, rather than panicking long enough to give a rescue a chance.

They were driven away by a dog because the dog wasn't the one attacking them in their own settlement. There's a big difference between them coming at us, and us coming at them. In the former case, we force them to decide who among them will be the first up the metaphorical ladder. In the latter case, we're the ones climbing the ladder, and they're the ones dropping rocks and boiling pitch on us.

Our best bet, IMO, is to give them three options: 1. negotiate with us, 2. snarl at us threateningly until we go away, 3. fight us.

An unprovoked attack would give them one option: 1. fight us.
