Entering the keep first is ill-advised, because if any of the fanes are outside of the keep we can enter them as easily without access the fortified location and then having to repeat the task.""We already know that this "hill of witches" plays a critical part in our task here. Our journey to the castle is premature when we can surely investigate the hill without backtracking or perhaps having to gain entry to a castle twice."Janis looks sideways at the two priests."You know, you two didn't agree as much in the past. I sense a new closeness in you two. Have you been sharing a bedroll without the rest of us catching on lately? Not that it bothers me, but it would explain this sudden consensus of your opinions."Janis shakes her head of the images her grandmother would no doubt scold her for holding on the tip of her tongue."In any case, immediately entering the castle still leaves brigands and Emerald Claw agents at our backside waiting to possible assault us as we leave that place possibly in a Daelkyr's rush to get out of there, weak and in possession of the Tome and whatever artifacts tangential to our mission."Janis sighs."The neatest path to something is rarely a straight line. That's how I was waiting for you in Rekkenmark." Janis cuts off words she might have said."You don't trust me. That's fine. I don't trust any of you much either. I even understand your faith in yourself, but unlike your faith, real life isn't a straightforward proposition of directing an arrow and casting it. Each wave builds upon the next, and the fool who charges uphill rarely gets to the top at the same time as the careful fool who picks his way across the stones with the grains of soil instead of throwing themselves against it. Even the mightiest of your temples in Thrane isn't assembled by placing the last stones at the top first.And besides, my way doesn't involve storming a castle immediately, Janis thought sourly.</blockquote>
