"So, what do we have?" Robent asked upon entering. Diane was standing at a table looking down upon a map of Skyrim and some other papers.

"We have enough food to last is for quite some time." Diane began. "We also found large quantities - and by found i mean looted - of armor and weaponry, so our ´troops´ are now adequatly equipped. After our victory the morale is also very high."

Robent went over to the table to take a look at the reports himself. Diane stepped back to make room for him.

"What´s the next step?" She asked.

"The closest Akaviri controlled fort is Morvunskar." Do´Rakshasa informed. Just as a reminder. People could sometimes forget that the big Khajiit was even there. Until an assassin showed up, that was.

"Well, we have the element of surprise." Robent began. "The enemy shouldn´t even know we exist yet. The most they could possibly know at the time is that one of their outposts is quieter than usual. That gives us a chance. A precious chance that i don´t want to waste. I intendet to sneak past the Akaviri lines and march directly for Windhelm itself and take it by a surprise attack at night. For that we´d need to get past Morvunskar adn the easiest way to do that would be to have one squad per night sneak past the fort. A squad is small enough to go unnoticed. So within seven or so nights we´d have almost 50 men ready to surprise attack Windhelm.

However, the information provided by our newest member suggests that the commander of Morvunskar is of royal blood and a high rank. That poses another...intrigueing...opportunity."

"So you want to assassinate him?" Diane asked. Robent stared at her for a second.

"Gods no!" He laughed. "That would be utterly stupid. Do you know how much a royal hostage is worth? Captureing him would be far more beneficial than killing him and slicing ourselves in the foot. Even if his family would deny ransom or negotiations it would still be leagues better having him as a hostage."

"I see. But have you decided on our next move yet?"

"Not completly, no. I currently have someone scouting Morvunskar though. I want to know what i´m dealing with and have alternatives to a full frontal assault. We need to have as much manpower as possible when we take Windhelm and try to make the snakes surrender."
