Allegro was the first to speak and Brandr considered his words for a moment before nodded. "Yes, I think you're right. At most they may find us an annoyance. In order for the cliff plan to work we need to get them running enough that they can't stop in time." But what would be the best way to get them moving at a good clip?
Satire mentioned making a loud noise and Brandr nodded. "That's a good idea." He chuckled as Poetry followed up that he could make a lot of noise. Brandr turned his attention to Corvus as the younger man mentioned fire. "That could work. Most animals are instinctively afraid of fire." They'd have a limited amount of time they could use it. Thankfully it wasn't terribly windy.
"Ok, here's the plan. These creatures must have some natural predator. We've seen wolves around, larger than even the biggest of us. I think its reasonable to assume they prey on these creature's young and weak. Allegro, Corvus I'd like you two to journey to the base of the Moontouched Cliffs to lie in wait for our prey and take point in finish them off.
"Everyone else we'll want to start our hunt by howling loud and frequently. Set our prey on edge and make them think there are more of us than there are. We'll then rush at them and try to herd them toward the cliffs. Twig, Asuka, Lyric, Senryu. I'd like each of you to take a stick with a ball of flaming pitch on the end. I will as well. Those with fire will use it to try and burn the ankles of these beasts and harry them. Those under a year old will run with us but not get too close. We need the illusion of numbers to create fear and I don't want anyone getting stepped on. Sound good?"
