"I think that so long as you, or any of our other allies here, can keep us from drawing too much attention to ourselves, we," he gives his old adventuring companion a nod, "can handle a few isolated patrols."
"I've more than a little familiarity with the area myself." Gwenn added. "And if we need someone to scout, tracking me in the hills or mountains would prove... difficult."
"As to the timing, I'd agree that we'd be better off trying to move long distances by day, and only wait for the cover of darkness to move on the keep itself. Light sources are more visible in the dark than people in daylight, and since most of us cannot see well in the dark, we'd need them to move quickly." She continues, as if she is well versed in moving a small band in secrecy.

Aelar frowns a bit. "While I'm not intimately familiar with the surroundings, I'm quite used to move unseen and unheard through the wilderness. And I'm faster on foot than any of you and can see in the dark. I volunteer for scouting as well."

"While I'm used to more...urban settings, I've got nothing against a dash through the woods. Should the giants be susceptible to flattery, I've got that covered as well. And if the conversation ever becomes pointed, that's where I really shine."
Lucan takes a deep gulp of beer, then takes a moderate bite out of a loaf of bread. After he's finished chewing, he looks at Gwenn.
"Something I like about you, good sister. You seem like you know what you're doing."

"I've planned raids before. None against giants, though." She said. "And I've acquired a few things that make living in the wild somewhat easier."
It had always been a worry, and something she had trained for, but until the latest series of raids she'd never faced them before. Before the summons had arrived, she and her band had taken a few down that had wandered too close, but they had lost people doing it -- people who were too loyal to her to let her fight alone.

Deacon nods as the rest of the table sounds off on their talents. "And I suppose I can keep watch at the campsite while you three are scouting. I think, should it be discovered and come under attack, at least one other person and I can hold our ground the rest of you return." He idly picks through a cut of meat while he chooses his next words.
"Admittedly, I haven't had too much experience with these giants, so it'll certainly be helpful to have some experience beside me," he nods to Gwenn, "but I have had extensive experience with fighting Orcs. So if they have allied themselves as the reports have suggested, I'll be more than ready for that."

"It is certain that Orcs have been a part of the patrols and raiding parties," says Martaen. "Whether you will find any at the Stedding itself, I do not know."
He hesitates, then adds, "I could provide a map that shows the distance from here to the foothills, and an approximate location of the Stedding. However, it would lack any details of the foothills themselves. I believe Wik's knowledge of the area outstrips any assistance I could provide."
