[QUOTE="Greybar, post: 2549104, member: 4938"] From lake-level, much of the middle and center-back of it is obscured by buildings, and the rising slopes to the west do have enough rise and fall that its possible that some small buildings or items of interest might be concealed. The monastery has less than 100 monks, minus however many of you are on special missions such as your own. With the boats you've seen (which aren't too big), the whole band will have to come across in waves no matter what. The wider the span (and the more docks), the more reasonable it gets. From what you know of the plans, the biggest boats will be reserved for the supplies necessary to field 100 people for perhaps a month in inhospitible (cold and rocky) terrain. Those supplies are why the docks are most needed, and why having more than one will make a big difference. If you assume all 100-ish were wounded then it gets unreasonable fast, but for a smaller number you have some options you can see from here. Options that might not be feasible once you've talked to the residents of course. 1) Take over a building in the center defensible looking area for use as a hospital, displacing the local residence if there isn't one standing empty. 2) Set up a tent-hospital in one of the fields to the side or up-slope. There are both grazing-fields and crop-growing fields visible that would be large enough to set up tents for everyone simultaneously if needed (and the residents were controlled or mollified) [/QUOTE]
