[Dracos]

Dracos sits down in one of the chairs, memorizing the general map area for a moment, waiting for Erik and the other soldier to return.  If he does not return before Dracos hears the noise of Farwell's contingent starting to move off, Dracos heads out to see them off.

Erik returns first.  "We've skived off 50 of our scouts to accompany Farwell; he's requisitioned about four hundred additional swordsmen to protect the caravan, as well," he reports.

[Dracos]

Dracos nodded.  "Good.  Now, the current plan, Erik, is to attack the enemy supply lines and possibly disrupt their siege equipment.  In order to do this, we first have to find where their supply lines are and what is defending them."

Dracos pointed to the map, in the area between where the dreadmarch was currently camped out in the millions and the dark citadel.  "The supply lines will likely be around here.  We will be moving in that direction shortly.  I would like you to gather the scouts immediately and get moving in that direction.  We'll be following with the main force within the hour.  Set up the scout patterns as you see fit, Erik, I leave it to you.  Report to me when you have any important information.  Do you have any questions?"

[Brian]

"Will we be establishing any kind of permanent camp out here, or will we be keeping ourselves as mobile as possible?" he asks, peering at the map, probably already calculating routes in his mind.

[Dracos]

"As mobile as possible.  We can't allow ourselves to risk getting trapped against the dreadmarch.  They've already stolen one march on us.  If they catch us by surprise again, it might be the end of us."

Dracos

[Brian]

"Understood.  I'll go brief my men, then," he says, waiting on your permission before he leaves.

[Dracos]

"You may go and may Hamar brighten your path."

Dracos

[Brian]

He's gone.  Now it's just you, Nathan, and the map.

[Dracos]

Dracos glances at Nathan.  "Wild day?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Didn't bother me that much . . . I think you had more fun than I did.  Although I gotta admit, that sword-toss was pretty wild. How'd you get so much distance, anyway?"

[Dracos]

Dracos laughed.  "Bleh...  I really don't know.  Though I can try it out on you."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"I dunno, given your accuracy last time, I reckon your target might just be the safest place to be. Nyah!"

Rez snickers.

[Dracos]

"Anyhow...getting serious.  You up to being a commander?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Rez grimaces.

"Yeah, if I have to be. Not really my forte, but then, neither is hitting people with greatswords."

[Dracos]

"You'll just have to deal, Number one.  Anyhow...  Let's get these men moving while we wait for Liandril to finish his report."

Dracos heads out, looking for the soldier he'd sent off to get people ready and ascertaining the status of the army remaining himself.
