Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mithreander" data-source="post: 1191824" data-attributes="member: 13791">Blaught, after returning with his report waits for the captain's commands. 6 of his scouts are out, watching the elves from a distance to make sure that nothing surprising happens, and watching the surrounding area to make sure that the elves were not smart enough to try a flanking manuaver. The other 6 are resting up for any emergancies and replacements, as needed. The 6 on duty are one a 1 and 1/2 hour cycle, 15 minutes segrigations between shifts. Thus, every 15 minues Blaught is recieving a report if nothing surprising happens.Thus, 6 are always with Blaught, or resting, while the other 6 are out. That gives the mounts an our and a half of rest for ever 1.5 that they are out on the field. And it also means that news on the front is no older then an hour in a half at any time, 30 minutes in the case of the known threat, since 3 of the six are assigned to the task of watching the advancing line. Once the proposed battle is closer, he'll send out all the scouts, 6 on the battle sight and 6 to outreaching areas, so that his knowledge base is only 45 minutes old for out reaching areas and 15 minutes old for the battle scene and the elvish army.He request information on the formations of the advancing collums, and allows (at Schnots suggestion) for each scout to add his own input and ideas of what they think the elves are planning, or trying to do.</blockquote>
