Makes sense.
It's not like I was aiming for Hard-Fall style anyhow. I didn't have as good a grasp of how that worked yet but more than that, it's important to have a tool for a situation where we're outnumbered.

Edit: Reinald has utility Prayers, would one of those allow him to silence an area to let us work silently or to prevent someone from calling an alarm?

Okay you know what lets give this a go. I don't think this is the best plan possible here, it's just what I can come up with.

[X] Plan: maybe bury them?
-[X] Attack them when they're sleeping. First, scout out if they have someone on watch when resting that would notice the following.
-[X] If there's someone on watch, ambush them while silencing the area they're in to prevent easily waking the rest. Try to take them out before engaging the rest of the plan.
-[X] If they don't have someone on watch, silence the area. Have Reinald bury the cave opening in salt to cut the Norse off from oxygen. Wait for them to try escape and strike at them as they break through. Do not stand directly in front of where they're escaping, in case they are expecting that and use some kind of attack as they break out. Use Web Shape to keep watch for if they have unexpected other means to escape or if they can summon the wolves outside. Also have Reinald use an utility Prayer for the same purpose. Also to notice them coming out if they don't give us time. Once the opening provided by them having to escape is passed, make sure Audrey is fighting no more than 1 of them herself.
-[X] If the guard manages to wake the others or if they notice what we're doing before we're done setting the trap, ...have Reinald engage the most of them so Audrey can more safely fight? I'm sure there's more planning that could be done for this part but I don't know what, just that we should be on guard for it.

Okay I wrote a plan I did it good job me.

I worry that web wouldn't get wide enough to cover other potential entrances or would be disturbed by things like nocturnal animals, but otherwise it seems a solid enough plan to start with.

Wouldn't it be better to scout for any escape routes they have first, before we barricade them in with salt? I'm not sure if Web Shape is large enough to cover any other exits they might have.

Makes sense to me! Please write a plan that incorporates that if you want. I'll probably vote for it! Take as much as you want from my plan, as well.
 
Maybe he can turn people into salt statues?
Well, or he can salt the food through so that it stops rotting and then remove all the salt when necessary.
I think the latter is even more valuable than the former, given how difficult it was to stock up on food in the Middle Ages.

Edit: He can also sprinkle salt on the enemy's wounds.

Yes. Yes he did.

What else can Reinald do with his Salt Revelation, besides conjuring salt?

Well, first off, 'conjuring salt' is perhaps broader than you're thinking. Salt spears as a ranged attack, walls of salt, and so on are all very doable. If you could do it with conjured rock, conjured salt will also work. He can also remove moisture from things in general.

The bandits primarily operate in their profession at night. So do you want to go for them at night or when they're asleep? The two are likely different things, as they probably sleep during the day if they're active at night.
 
...I have what I believe might be a brilliant plan.

First this:

But more seriously, it would involve Audrey clashing with the sentry alone very briefly, then drawing back as soon as she sees any sign of reinforcements coming. And because she has boots that give her supernatural speed, she should be able to draw her foes in a merry chase.

And most importantly, people are usually do not move at the same speed. Even more so if you break their leg or cut their tendons in it. So the idea would be to draw a hopefully chaotic response and a hasty chase, and then picking her foes together with her mentor hiding nearby one by one.

QMs, hopefully this is a valid plan. Because I'm going to crash into sleep after posting this. Also, I don't have the brain-power to specify all powers used, so hopefully Audrey/QMs can fill in what is meant to be used.

[X] Plan We Bravely Ran Away (And Then Killed Them All)
-[X] Prayer For Perseverance up for the whole fight.
-[X] Audrey sizes her foes from hiding for any weakness, and then strikes with Darting Strike, then using whatever means available tries to cripple the sentry so that they cannot follow Audrey together with the rest of her hopefully soon-to-be-pursuers.
-[X] As soon as reinforcements start to approaching, run away with the intention of getting them to follow you, with insults if needed (Audrey has a Prayer that will let translate at least rough general intent at zero cost). Use the Boots of Speed to not get pinned down. Aim for crippling blows at legs if caught in a fight and try keeping to disengage. Try to separate them in the chase.
-[X] Reinald will be watchin nearby, and be ready to strike when they are the most vulnerable or if Audrey needs help.
 
[X] Plan: Lure them Out?
-[X] First, scout out the area around the cave (by air is probably the fastest), spending a moderate amount of effort to find any escape routes. Have Reinald seal any exits with salt.
-[x] Approach while she believes the Norsemen may be sleeping, using Reinald to silence the area first.
-[x] If any of them are on watch, Audrey will use herself as bait, trying to be seen, while Reinald watches from cover, imposing silence and waiting to intervene. Hopefully, a Norseman will see a Squire as easy meat and may try to strike rather than rouse everyone. The plan is not for Audrey to engage on her own but lure one into Reinald.
-[X] If the sentry can be killed without alerting the rest, so much the better. Regardless, have Reinald bury the cave opening in salt to cut the Norse off from oxygen and force them to come to meet you.
-[x] Once battle is joined, watch Reinald's back and attempt to either set up openings for Reinald or use Giant-Killing Blow on any openings Reinald creates. Stay as defensive as needed to stay alive and let Reinald do his job without worrying about you.

We're still a bit scuffed, so delaying until tomorrow, hopefully we should be back on track after that, we'll be in combat rounds so we might be able to realign things with shorter turnaround on them.
