Dracos lets them leave, waiting until they are out of view to brush a hand back along his head in a habitual nervous gesture.  "Well, at least that went well.  Hopefully we'll hear back from the scouts soon.  Hmm..."

Dracos

[Brian]

The scouts don't find any sign of supply trains that have already been through.  More likely than not, none of the supply trains have arrived yet.

[Dracos]

"Hmm, We can either stay here, head north, or head south.  What do you think, Nathan?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Well, that would depend entirely on what your objective was."

Rez smiles cheerily.

[Dracos]

"... Wipe out the supply lines you cocky idiot.  You know this."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Send some scouts south to survey the tail end of the dreadmarch army, which is most likely where a fair chunk of their support will be . . . but we should probably be heading north or northwest.  Mixing it with the army proper won't gain us a great deal, and the more distance we put between them and us the longer it will take them to do something about us hitting their supply trains."

[Dracos]

"Hmmm...I like that plan.  A squad south to commence raiding under the cover of darkness while the majority of us head north in two groups along the sides of this path hunting for their supplies."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Mm. Basically, they check out the rear of the dreadmarch and try to ascertain how much in the way of supply wagons they brought with them . . . and probably try to do some damage to what's there."

Rez hums.

"I'd like to volunteer for that, actually."

[Dracos]

Dracos raises an eyebrow.  "Antsy?  No crazy heroics.  If you find out that they've already got most their supplies there, get back quickly.  I'll need to know that.  I was thinking more like ten scouts, but to do what you just suggested you'd need more.  What are you thinking?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Get some rough intelligence on what they do have, and if we get the opportunity . . . sneak in and break shit, really, then run as if all the armies of darkness were behind us.  If nothing else it'll sow some confusion."

[Dracos]

"Hum... Small force still though.  No more than a hundred, including the scouts."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"How many scouts is up to you.  Frankly, anyone who's capable of being sneaky and good in a fight will do the job here."

[Dracos]

"I send scouts, because I think you'll need those trained to be sharp eyes and stealthy.  hmm...  Two squads of archers, two of axemen, and ten scouts.  How does that sound?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"I don't think we need so many archers, given that the point is to sneak in there.  Hm.  Admittedly, I'm not much of a tactician."

[Dracos]

"I'm a believer in the idea of having some archery cover if you need it on escape is a good thing.   Though you are right, a smaller group might be more useful.  So...seventy soldiers and you.  Think you can manage a group that size?"
