Very well, I never meant to offend. Thank you for the education Breach. Dedestroyt is wise and no doubt has insight into these matters. This information is disturbing and further adds to my feelings about freeing the villagers.
Breach, what can you tell us about the tactics of Stronmus and his followers? What can we expect when facing this fiend, other than an apparent ability to harness electricity?
I'm no warrior so any insight in planning would be appreciated. Can followers of Stronmus be reasoned with?
I would not expect diplomacy to work here. Cultists are zealots committed to their cause. I doubt you could make them abandon their plans with words.
For tactics, the blue devil has wings, a spear, and controls lightning, so I would expect it will try to stab and shock us from the air where we can’t reach it. We will need to keep it on the ground. Maybe the village can provide fishing nets we can use to contain Blue. We should arm ourselves and the villagers with whatever ranged weapons we can find - crossbows, slings, rocks, pointy sticks. We have surprise on our side. We need to take advantage of that and hit them hard when they arrive. If we can knock Blue out of the fight, I suspect the rest will flee or surrender.
