[IC] A Stolen Land

[Valdi]

"Are you saying you are willing to lend us your mule to back the wagon into place? You have my thanks, I will attempt to ensure she sees no harm in the process.  as for a good vantage either the wall walk to the north of the gate, or the roof of the guest house [A2] Seem to offer the best protection, but also the best vantage of the field of battle. If you lie prone on the roof of the guest house , just opposite the peak of the roof from the gate, you can see the entire courtyard as well as the door of the main house, but they cannot see you until the trap is already sprung and they are well into the courtyard."

He turns to Eran.

"Sleeping in the stables may be fine, rather than the guesthouse, but do you think it is wise for you to spring from the stables directly into the courtyard to engage in battle? You do not seem to me to be the sort of warrior that engages in direct combat, might fighting from an advantage of height, like rooftop or wall-walk, as Nexendia intends, be a more effective option?  We can even pull the ladders up and use them to bridge the gaps between wall and roof rather than planks. That way the brigands will be denied easy access to the heights, and to you, while you rain death from above."

"My brother and I will be on the ground, of necessity, but those of you that are fighting with magic and missile, rather than physically, should be on high, where you can make life miserable and short for Oleg's unwelcome guests."
