Packing up camp, you continue your foray into the Narlmarches. The once-lone trees grow closer and closer together as you travel, copses joining to become a true wood. The canopy filters the light overhead, leaves broad and green, while at ground-level small thickets and ferns grow in clusters.</p>

The forest is fairly easy to traverse despite numerous roots and ground-foliage; the land itself is more-or-less flat, and the trees tend to clump together, creating numerous clearings.

I think I may have an alternative to this tactic. It is likely just as dangerous, but perhaps not overwhelmingly so."</b></p>
<p>She dismisses her <i>light</i> spell, and continues. <b>"Delphey, you and Kol could sneak up the stairs and each covertly steal to the north and south wings of this upper level. Delphey, north, and Kol, south. You would then wait, in hiding, some ways—perhaps fifteen feet deep—into your respective positions, against the westward walls. I know Delphey can sneak around with no problem; I trust you may be able to, as well, Kol?"</b></p>
<p>She leans forward, excitement dancing in her eyes. <b>"I will create an illusion from near the top of the stairs, unseen; an illusion of a troglodyte. You both will see it, but fear not: it will just be a figment, not real. This illusion will be a distraction; from what I know of these creatures, they speak Draconic, a language I am quite familiar with. The illusion will 'speak' to the larger troglodyte—using my voice, of course—to create a distraction. Hopefully, this will draw out the troglodyte; when he gets close enough, the two of you can rush over in a pincer attack, flanking him. With this initial attack, we may best use the element of surprise: you may both kill him where he stands, or at least wound him terribly, while I arise and loose some bolts at him. If he sends the crocodile instead, well . . . I suppose we will have to deal with that beast in his place."</b></p>

<p>Now, my character knows a bit about these creatures; they speak Draconic, and so does she.

If we can lure it toward the stairs (it only really gets a Will save if it <i>interacts</i> with the illusion), Kol and Delphey can be at the north and south walks, ready to flank the guy when he gets near. I can either be behind the illusion, laying low where he can't see me (through the illusion), or just down the stairs, ready to come up and help with my bolts. </p>
