Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Stew" data-source="post: 9689089" data-attributes="member: 23484">Urgan had found a stump, the tree cut some centuries before, and it provided a crook in which his bedroll could nestle between two of the larger exposed roots if they were to sleep here. He left is bags, uncertain of the responsibilities that had been thrust upon him. He was clever, he knew, and certianly could do more than most would have expected of him. The fact that the honour had been given to him without a full demonstration suggested either indifference in the group, or (and here he allowed the self-doubt instilled by years of reinforcement to be pushed aside) because he was actually ready for this. When Volyanna had summoned them, he realized there was quite a group. Some he still didn't have a name for. The warforged, for example. Always watching, but so far unforthcoming, even with its name. Urgan listened to the assessment. "If we are staying as one group, then I feel the caves of the kobolds are our best bet. We will have numbers, and we have no reason to believe they will be allies with the cultists. Kobolds have a reputation for traps, however, and we could easily get bogged down dealing with them. If we went that way, we would need to drove onward, perhaps making clear that we sought only to pass through.  A bribe might help let us through. "We are too many for boats, I fear. We could try that way, but losing one boat to capsize throws off everyone. Though it might makes sense for some to go that route, if we were to separate. I could make it to the gate past the watchtower unseen, as I am sure could some others." (At this he l was looking at Shade-9, but it was likely true of others was well). "I imagine there must be some traffic through the gate, even a changing of the guards, and perhaps that would offer an efficient way through.""I welcome your thoughts. Together? Groups?" He turns to Volyanna. "Do we have a sense of the force at the main gate? Do any pass through?" </blockquote>
