Jokad takes another tasteless bite of hardtac and chews methodically; washing it down with copious ammounts of cool water. He stares at the map they have created on the floor of the cave and goes over the plan one more time...
"...so we head in through the waterfall, smoke out the lizards, and sneak into the fort during the chaos. Make our way to Shalelu as quickly and as quietly as we can then assess and improvise from there."
"Depending on Shalelu's, and any other survivors', condition we most likely need to the make our way to the secret exit and escape."
"Everybody now has a pretty good idea of the layout and the various means in and out. If for some reason we get separated, make for the nearest, best escape route. It does no one any good if we all make our last stand in there."
"Danth, Kael... if you guys have some magic that will improve our stealth, that would be all the better."
"Now for a few details... We go in by day; this neutralizes the ogres advantage of sight and might actually catch a few of them napping. We leave our horses saddled in a copse of trees a few hundred yards SW of the falls. Each of us will have to carry some firewood and try and keep it as dry as we can. Everybody carefully slice open their water skins and stuff as much dry kindling in them as you can. Wet wood may not be a big problem if we can keep the kindling dry to start it."
"Other than that... <he shrugs> sharpen your blades and check your fletchings. I doubt the way out will be nearly as smooth as the way in."
OOC: just trying to keep things moving. I think we were all in agreement on the plan (more or less) so I went with it and added a couple things. Any objections, let her rip.
