I think we're a diversion meant to draw at least some of these creatures away from some central area.  If and when we disappear at the spring... any more of these things that followed us will be now two days out from wherever Scarfang and the others are now probably going to be.'He stands up and gives a small snort of amusement.'And how much do you want to bet that we aren't the only group walking around out here like this either?  I'd be willing to put down money that probably every single druid involved in this battle probably recruited a band like us to cause their own diversions.  The more groups like us that can draw these creatures away... the easier the big central fight will be for Scarfang and the others.'He now stands up and shrugs his shoulders.'Look, I could be completely off here, I admit... but looking at this battle plan logically... the only reason raw, untested recruits such as ourselves would be brought into an engagement like this would be to draw attention away from the main fight.  If we were meant to be part of the main battle, we wouldn't have been asked to walk away, go hide, and then eventually find the Great Druid.  We'd be brought to the eventually place of battle and put in the third or fourth line of defense to be used if the battle went horribly wrong.  So as this is what we've been asked to do... let's do it right.  Let's make sure that we take out as many of these creatures as we can as we walk before we reach the spring and then "disappear."'He tightens up his mail, sheathes his sword, and then gets in line up next to Caw.</blockquote>
