| Accompanied by a flurry of damp, cool night air Iskar enters the main tent of the southern camp in which Zero of Laria and the other squad leaders are already gathered. Leaning over the map stretched out on the central table he addresses a slender man with long grey hair, a scar across his face and a nose like a hawks beak.Has your squad at the cliff tops gathered any further intelligence of the enemy troops, Scout Commander Cairngrove? (OOC: 1) This is your turn Mitch. 2) If the map doesn't fit your plans for the battle I will make a different one. I desgined this one according to what information I could gain from your intial post.) | |

| A Centurion strode in the camp, and required to see the commander. He had a message: - Quote :
- It is here i write you with great displeasure. The Eventide, even when we tried to stop them, have joined our forces and will not leave. This was not approved by us, and we do not wish to be in collaboration with them nor do we need them. You need them far more than we. So it is that we need your decision here: will you take them?

| Antother Centurion rides in, this time with more respect and dignity, though. He went in the leader's tent after knocking the tent's door, and gave a letter to the leader inside. - Quote :
- Your plan is simple and good. We support it, as the Eventides won't disturb us with their presence.

| Thank you, Centurion, Iskar says, as soon as my grandmaster approves of the plan, we shall proceed with it. I have already sent a messenger to his camp to inform him of our suggestions. | |

| A Silvermist scout enters the tent and brings a report from the Northern Silvemist camp. He lays it open on the table for all to read: - Spoiler:
My scouts have reported hearing ships. Soon after I received the report, they also reported women yelling and screaming, taken as a sign that our traps are working. We cannot see anything in this mist, but it is starting to lift. Have your scouts on high alert for the army. Take this message to the Centurion camp after you have read it. In other news, your plan is a sound one.
May Ull Vetr be with us.
Caranthir, Grandmaster of the Silvermist Rangers.

| Looking around in his command tent Iskar briefly exchanges confirming looks with all his squad leaders. Then he steps back from the table, straightening his back and squaring his shoulders he says:
Very well, my fellow knights, this is it. There is no more need for words, now deeds are required. Gather your soldiers and take your positions. We shall strike as soon as the Shadow Legion has engaged in fighting. For Pendor!
For Pendor! the others answer before departing silently into the lifting mists.
As quiet as possible not to reveal their presence or even position to the Veccavi forces Iskar's rangers take position on top of the southern cliffs. Lying down while waiting to strike, so they are not visibile from below. A bugler is placed at the end of the cliff to signal when the Shadow Legion advances. | |

| And through the heavy mist, line upon lines of unidentifiable figures walk. Mainly in a woman like fashion. Iskar now sees this and shoots and arrow the northern cliff, signaling that something or somewhat is spotted. Its a small body of figures and they are slowly approaching upwards between the two cliff sides. All is quiet and the talking of female voices can be heard:
"Theres a carriage up there, It has the royal emblem of the King of Pendor. We should be careful to advance, for we don't know why this thing is here."
Slowly but surely they send someone on top of a horse to ride up to the carriage. The clock is ticking. And the rider is moving fast, but is hard to see in the thick mist.
This is here because only the silvermists can see this. | |

| Caranthir quietly says, Steady men, we must wait for them to take the bait.
All the Silvermists ready their arrows, waiting for the moment to strike. | |

| Too late, the scout reaches the carriage, and the loudness of hundreds of men can be heard at the base on the other side of the hill. The steed is turned and gallops fast to the scout force that it derived from. The scout will report that there is an ambush and an attack waiting. | |

| Caranthir silently motions for his best rangers to take out the scout before she can come into view of the others.
The arrows fly true, hitting the neck of the person and the head of the horse, killing both instantly and silently.
You, over there. Go to the camp of the Legion and report what has happened here. And tell them to ready for a surprise assault. Arrange the Eventide for battle too. He quietly commands. The scout quickly sneaks over to the Legion camp.
The rest of you, watch the scout group, and if they seem to turn back, kill them all.

| Caranthir..has choose wisely by ordering his men to kill the horse and scout. But the scout force will soon learn that their scout will not return. The wind begins to pick up... | |

| In front of his tent Iskar receives the report of his Scout-in-Chief, Scout Commander Cairngrove.
Well Cairngrove, what to report from the cliff top scouts? Is there anything on the cliffs we could use to our advantage, like big stones to roll down on the Veccavi forces, thick undergrowth to hide in etc.?
(Your turn Mitch) | |

| Nah sir, the cliffs be too steep for any closer examination. The winds are heavy so scaling the rocks below is dangerous and live may be lost doing so. But I have discovered a northern passageway that will lead us down to the shores where they shall dock. We can use that to our advantage. For what though is your choice.
Commander Cairngrove bows his head, wields his helmet upon his head again and leaves the tent.
Then whispers can be heard outside, clearly some commotion is going outside. And its not good. | |

Being notified of the enemie's advance, Iskar beckons Cairngrove over to him and says:
Tell the Rangers in wait to open fire on the rear guard as soon as they have left the beach, so the enemy won't loose any thought on retreating to the ships. After the rear guard has been forced to flee inland they shall target the bulk of the main force to ensure not hitting our troops with the strong winds rising now.
A messenger arrives bringing news from Sir Mitchell. Iskar says:
Messenger, please return to Sir Mitchell and suggest they use the passageway disvovered by our scouts to circumvent the enemy, block their way back and shatter their moral by an attack from behind after the Eventide has charged in. Hurry now, time is running out. | |

| Caranthir motions to Theo, telling him to come closer.
Captain Theo, he begins, in hushed tones, I want you to take your squad and meet up with the Legionares guarding the "king," and when the scouts get close enough, shoot them. They will think that the King's guards are defending him, and it will keep them far away enough to hide the Legion. I trust you to take whatever precautions necessary to prevent casualties, but remember, it must be believable. May Ull Vetr be with you. Go now, quietly.
Captain Theo then takes his squad and a couple extra quivers and moves toward the Shadow Legion army.
OOC: Theo, report to Marcus in the Legion thread. | |

[to the squad:]
Alright men, we have new orders! Take only your fighting equipment and follow me, we are moving. Each of you will also take an extra quiver with the armsmaster.
OOC: how many men do I command? | |
