Well, if there's only a few able to fight right now, waiting for them to come to us doesn't seem like a good idea, and neither does trying to distract them further.  So, I say either charge in, or try to sneak around and surround them.<br/><br/>Although, we want the chest, which is pretty heavy and would slow them down if they try to run.  So, attack but give them a very viable and visible means of retreating so we can take the chest?
