Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cerebral Paladin" data-source="post: 3569941" data-attributes="member: 3448">Stythus contacted a few of his friends from the Plane of Air, and a group of four young air elementals, about the same age as him, set forth to scout out the enemy army and to report.  They would not be able to do more than a little harrying, if that much, but they would provide substantially more information about the threat.Alistair met briefly with each of the Sheriff of Cogswood and Lady Susan of Furrows.  The Sheriff was, as expected, terrified to hear of the danger his son was in.  Alistair assured him that the Archduchy would do everything it could to ensure his son’s safety, but he understood the situation.  No amount of intervention could eliminate all of the danger his heir-apparent would face, and the very features of courage and gallantry that made the Sheriff so proud of his son would make it difficult to extract him easily.Lady Susan also quickly understood the gravity of the situation.  She agreed with Alistair that there was no need to involve the Duke of Furrows in dealing with the uruks; even knowing about the attack would upset him greatly, but he would be unable to give any constructive aid.  Lady Susan agreed to dispatch the two legions of horse archers that formed the bulk of the Furrows army to relieve Grokken.  It would not be without risk, as that would leave the capital of Furrows largely undefended, but even the small infantry guard there should be sufficient to hold the heavy walls and fortifications against anything short of another entire uruk horde.  Because a quick and decisive victory against the Horde of Fury was the best way to deter other hordes from attacking, the risk was worthwhile.</blockquote>
