"You should not risk an attack on the enemy camp this is not a sound plan. The manor is well fortified and they can do little without siege equipment, which will take weeks to build by a force of two hundred men which likely has no engineers with them either. Such a small group is also consisted primarily of warriors - they have no supply train, no smiths or washwomen or cooks."Lora paused and sighed, but raised her finger when Vance attempted to speak and continued as if teaching a child. "This is a raiding party, a vanguard meant to strike and return, and be swift about their business. The best course of action is to let them fling arrows at the stone battlements of this manor for a while and then give up once their efforts prove fruitless, and return to the main force. They cannot siege us since they are so low in number and likely to have only a few day's rations with them, and this manor has a fortified port leading to the lake i presume, which means that a large force must surround both the keep and the entire length of the lake to cut off our own supplies and raiders. So by staying ready behind the walls the most we would lose are some peasant hovels. In an outright attack we can lose everything if the enemy are prepared and their camp is well organized. You said it yourself, Elves have keen vision. How do you expect to surprise them, with armoured riders no less?"</blockquote>
