Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 4749727" data-attributes="member: 13966">Uncle Niles nods slowly and says quietly to Evanar "If that's what ya wanna do, boy, I ain't gonna stop ya.  'Less yer plannin' t' go alone."Constable Dawnhorn finishes going over strategies, numbers, and duty rosters in her head, and states "Very well, I will have this matter looked into as well.  But it sounds like a smaller or less clever force than the bandits that assaulted the Calishite's caravan.  So I'll be heading up the investigation into the Calishite's attackers myself, and these two will handle matters over here for now."  She gestures to indicate the two guardsmen that followed her from the Barracks.Turning to face them, she orders "Check the guardposts at the gate and make certain the West Gate is secure.  Then track down the gnolls and dispatch them.  If anyone else at the Barracks can be spared to assist, I'll send them after you.  Right now I'm heading back to the Barracks to gather men for the Calishite's bandit problem.  Get to work."By this point, the Mystran priest apparently decides that he's not needed anymore, and not likely to receive any donation for Mystra's temple, so he departs for said temple.Lastly, Ellaria addresses the other people standing around in the West Gate Plaza.  "If any of you have a personal stake in the Calishite's caravan, you can meet me in the North Gate Plaza in about twenty minutes.  By then I should have ten or so guards ready to begin searching for his attackers, but I suspect they'll be on their way out of the area by now with their spoils, so it may take as much as a week to catch up with them, and he didn't really give a good account of their combat ability, so I do not know what we'll face at that time."She continues, "I probably can't spare more men to hunt down the gnolls, however, so if any of you share the dwarf's sentiment on killing some gnolls, it would be appreciated if you went along with Tarven and Merrick to help dispatch the gnoll pack.  They're opportunistic, but I doubt they'd focus on a single cart if they were strong enough to risk attacking a better-protected and richer wagon or caravan.  Might be I could pay out a bounty on the gnolls."With that, Ellaria strides back to the Guard Barracks for reinforcements.</blockquote>
