You can't outrun them, you can't destroy them

In a Pathfinder campaign, I once had the PCs confront a small army of half-dragon medusa (the products of a green dragon getting it on with a village of medusa). Their father had been killed after getting every medusa in the village pregnant multiple times, so there had been five hundred of them born over ten years. Their mothers raised them to be the instrument of their vengeance against the killers of their father and, while the local army might have defeated one or two, they could not defeat them all.

Eventually, one of the PCs figured out a non-violent solution that ended up working. The kingdom would send the half-dragon medusa a small tribute, and fifty men for husbands, every year in exchange for their service in the defense of the realm. Before then though, they were nearly impossible to kill through violence, and the PCs only survived by running away faster than their comrades.
