So I'm reluctant to mention this because if we end up in a fight it may very well end in TPK, but I will point out that while the yetis may not<em>give</em>us a talisman, there<em>is</em>the option of having our sticky-fingered rogue trying to pilfer one.<br/><br/>Now, out in broad daylight, in front of the other yetis this is an absurdly improbable heist.<br/><br/>That said, if we withdrew to a distance and one of us (say, a ranger) was able to track them back to wherever they lair and wait until one was alone... our bard could cast invisibility on the rogue.<br/><br/>That plan, of course, is predicated on a lot of successes where they are nowhere near guaranteed, but if we hit a dead end with any other plans, it could be our bad idea of last resort.<br/><br/>Or I'm making a bigger deal of the talismans than we're intended to.
