"We can always alter our appearances, superficially, at least. Why would they use a resource like a spell on someone that was apparently fighting on their side? Ok, maybe they would if they suspected that we were not what we seemed, but work with me here, ok? Getting through the outlying rabble with minimal difficulty is what I consider to be our immediate goal at the moment. I share your hope that Razor will bring us a favorable report soon."

"I'm with Bevin. We should wait for the scout before starting the hunt!" Girgal speaks to the others.

The wait for Razor's return stretches on. Rajah had told the quasit not to go too far - should he not have returned by now? Could he have been caught?

Finally a faint flapping of wings announces the demon's arrival. He turns visible.

"I was careful, 'master' Rajah. A sizable army out there - thousands of men, goblins and orcs, and monsters of all kinds. Giants and such mostly. Some I didn't recognize. There are even some of those vulture-headed guys.

It may interest you to know that the Darokin army, the one that was sent into the desert to fight these guys, has already been fought and - if the desert men aren't just boasting - 'destroyed to the last man'.

There's some kind of wooden building - like a little fort - on big long wheels. The men seem very proud of it, saying it can crush anything.

Everyone in the army seems loyal to the Master, but he isn't here with them."

Razor seems rather proud of himself as well, to have gathered so much information.

[sblock=Walking Dad]The buzzards are gone now but, yes, they were small.[/sblock]

"Felas, I think we're in trouble! Anyone have any idea what we should do now?"

"This army is a beast to big to hunt for our pack. We have to go for the head of the snake. We should let the army pass and continue our search thereafter." Girgal speaks to the others.

"So, Girgal, you're saying that we should just hunker here in relative security, assuming that we are not discovered, until the entire enemy force has passed? I like the way your mind works, my diminutive friend!"

"I must agree with him as well. There's no chance of us defeating these foes alone, especially if they've already defeated our 'comrades' in the main army. Let's wait for them to pass and strike out after they're gone." Rajah agrees

"I would just add one thing: As this enemy force moves past us, the center of the army, and, therefore, the leaders, will eventually come right near to us. If we are watching, then when that occurs, we may be able to strike a telling blow to the enemy force by beheading this snake before it can strike us."

 

[renau1g]

"But Razor already noted that the Master isn't there, so it wouldn't be quite so telling a blow master Bevin" Rajah says with a smile.

"Right you are, Master Rajah, but every serpent, snake, and worm must have a head. A force this large, in my judgment, would require quite a powerful leader to be capable of any sort of coordinated action."
