"Then we harass them from behind with ranged weapons and light cavalry," the prince says. "Admittedly, not the best tactic against trolls, since you have to make certain that they're down, but we can eat away at their outer lines fairly efficiently, and flaming arrows and siege weapons can bring them down."<br/><br/>He sighs, as Caiaphas asks about the enemy force. "At the moment? No. We're not sure how many there are, but the estimates but it at several hundred. Enough that, in a fair fight, we'd be overwhelmed. Which is why I don't want a fair fight. And it's also why I'm glad you're here. I've heard some of the stories of your skill; they say you can take down entire armies, by yourself, and you once fought four trolls on foot, armed with nothing but a common sword. I'm sure they've been exaggerated in the telling, but nevertheless, your performance on their scouting patrol was exemplary. Two dozen trolls, alone? Even as an ambush, that's unprecedented."
