[QUOTE="Albedo, post: 2594460, member: 33214"] Cann strokes his chin thoughtfully, "I see three basic ways to accomplish this task. The fist is the most obvious.

Or we could pretend we were promoted to being one of our dear king's generals and put ourselves into a situation where we can be captured, interogated, and able to pass on the false information.
