"Well, we could round up around them while they're asleep to keep them from escaping, and then we strike," Tarek suggests. "Or we could go find the bog-men and have them help us."
"I could sneak up to check it out and make sure it is the toads? But other than that, I'm not sure. I can slow them down with my frost, but they'll probably wake up when I cast," Anakis turns to Tarek with a quizzical look, "What are bog-men and where do we find them?"
"Well, it's kinda odd," Tarek responds to Anakis. "The bog-men were here long ago, before Ekuepool was founded. They were worshippers of the Old Faith, my deity specifically in the old times. They had passed into legend, mostly to scare young children. But they're still around -- I think I saw a fresh engraving of their symbol on one of the trees over there."
"Hmm." Anakis thinks, quite animatedly. "Do we even know if they're friendly though? We could go searching for them and find they don't like us being here. The stories might be used to scare children, but in my experience, stories used to scare children usually hold some truth to them." She shivers slightly, thinking of a story in her past. Anakis steels herself and stands tall, "I say we stay here and take on the toads. That's what we're here for and there's only five of them now. Plus last time they ran away pretty quick, so we just need to focus our attention on a couple of them to take them down quickly. I can focus on freezing any that try to run away to slow them down."
Ulben chims in a little louder than under his breath, "And the scare adults too." and he looks around very scared before speaking up and talking for the whole group. "I wonder if we could maybe... tie some of them up... while they are ummmm, sleeping. they could stop them from moving." Ulben takes a big gulp, scared out of his mind at the idea of getting into a fight with the toad people again.
"I could cast Animal Friendship on one of them to try and keep it calm, although it's not guaranteed to work. Also, I'm not sure the bog men would be that bad if they follow Pelor's guidance." Aluzira says.
"That's so cool! Do you think it would fight the other toads with us Aluzira? That would take care of another of the toads." Anakis turns to Ulben, "I could try and sneak in, but I'm not sure if I could tie a knot strong enough."
"I am all for jumping straight in and stabbing them." Fluin says, holding up his rapier. "If you want to do something else, then just let me know when the stabbing part will be starting."
"Maybe..." Aluzira says, thinking. "But none of us can harm it while the spell is cast; otherwise the spell will end, other than that it's a good idea! And if we don't harm it, the spell should last 24 hours." and nods her head in response to Fluin. "Definitely! Just don't poke my toad if I cast a spell on it," she adds with a smile.
"I'm wonderin' if it's worth chasin' myths right now. I agree with the girl. We oughta handle the problem in front'a us. We kin go chasing snarks later. For the toads here, I like the idea of tryin' to tie one up, but it's risky. These beast're strong too. We gotta be careful. I kin try the pit idea again. If I dig it deep enough, they shouldn't be able to hop out, giving us an easy target and one less to fight. Might even hurt it a bit when it falls in, but I doubt it. Fluin, I think you oughta stay ready to jump in and poke em with that sticker'a yers." Torrent ponders for a moment. "Right. While we try to figure out what to do, Anakis, you wanna take a look at em with me? I wanna know what they're doin'."

"We can sneak up, sure." Anakis stops to think for a moment before heading out, "Would you making a hole draw attention to us though? Instead of making a hole, could you fill in one of the ones the toads are in? They seem to like to sleep in burrows from what I saw last night. If they're asleep in a burrow and you fill it in, they can't get out quickly, I hope. Then that makes things a little easier for us too."
Once Torrent is ready to sneak up, Anakis will check the toads stealthily with him (Stealth check: 23).

"Aye, that's a good idea. We kin do that while Aluzira makes one a friend, and everyone can try to get a good attack in afore they're aware of us."
Seeing that she's ready to go, Torrent says, "Right. Well. Let's give this another go. We'll make a loud noise if something goes wrong'n we have to start fighting. Come fast in that case."
Stealth: 9

I don't think this question can be answered without learning more about Torrent's backstory. In which case, I'm all ears!
"I could cast Animal Friendship on one of them to try and keep it calm, although it's not guaranteed to work. Also, I'm not sure the bog men would be that bad if they follow Pelor's guidance." Aluzira says.

Tarek, noticing that her flute is gone, asks Aluzira, "And how are you going to cast that spell?"

"Fortunately, I don't need my flute for that spell, If I can get in close enough, all I need is a bit of food. Do you think it's worth a try?"
"Absolutely! If you kin make one friendly to us and not run away, it'll be a tremendous boon."
