Hey Valas, I've been thinking about how to set up a sturdy, low‑key defense for our little village—what's your take on the best approach to keep the peace without inviting trouble?
Valas
Use the land to your advantage – find a hill or a ravine that can be turned into a choke point, cover it with a low fence made of timber and brambles, and leave a single path that forces attackers to expose themselves. Hide a few sentries there, keep a small stockpile of broken blades for the odd close encounter, and never draw a fight unless the enemy has no choice. Stay quiet, stay unseen, and let the terrain do the talking.
Daddy
That sounds solid—using the hills to funnel foes is a classic move. Just make sure the fence is strong enough that a sudden charge doesn’t break through in a moment’s notice. And keep a couple of spare ladders or ropes nearby, just in case an enemy tries to outflank us. If we stay hidden and only confront when they’re stuck, we’ll waste them on our own terms. Keep your eyes on the road and your hand on that stockpile, and we’ll stay out of harm’s way.
Valas
Good plan, keep the fence tight, the ropes ready, and don't forget the broken blades for when the line breaks. I’ll watch the road, you keep the stockpile. If they come, they’ll see we’re not the first to pick up the fight.
Daddy
Got it, I’ll keep the stockpile tight and ready. You keep the lookout, and we’ll stay one step ahead. Stay sharp, and we’ll weather whatever comes our way.
