Timrin sits with his chin resting on one meaty fist, "Those tactics can be effective but I believe our strength in this scenario lies in the enemy not even knowing we exist. We gather as much information as we can and determine if an assault is even reasonable. Our primary objective should be to free the slaves.

A familiar fire returns to Timrin's eyes, "Time to get some first hand knowledge."
