We'd try to pick older ones who were nearing the end of their time, and to leave the younger ones alone.
IC: Oh HELL no...! I don't care if they call Drakes "Little Dragons." An OLD "Little Dragon" is still a BIG "Little Dragon..." You hunt the elders. I'm lookin' for unguarded hatchlings. Something that has a bit LESS of a chance of killing us all... ::Smirks::
We should probably make a full circular wall as well, bracing it appropriately.
Possibly. I just didn't think we could pull that off in a day, even with hired help. Not to mention the added cost. The biggest function is to stop things charging out of the woods and catching us off-guard. We've got beach as far as the eye can see on either side, and an ocean to our backs. At most, if we do have the time and the ability, those three sides wouldn't need as strong of a defense...
Depending on the time and expense, we could make a moat of oil and set it alight.
That would cost a small fortune in oil, and would only burn for few hours at best before needing another fortune's worth of oil. Besides, it would easily take two or three boats alone packed full with barrels of oil to pull that off...
We also don't know if the creatures on that island can fly, so defense against that should be considered as well.
::Taps the bow slung over his shoulder:: A good offense, as they say. Most all of us have bows anyway. Those that don't, we can show them how to use a crossbow in only a few hours lessons...
Do you or Azimir have any alarm spells that would alert us of creatures passing nearby?
::Nods:: We do. But I think those spells would better be used for attack and defense. Besides, to be totally honest, the alarm spells we know really aren't that powerful. A run of thread and a few bells set between sticks will do you just as good. And anything smart enough to avoid those in the dark, most likely wouldn't be fooled such a low-level spell in the first place.
