[Praefectus Screptum]

"No questions here."

[UXLZ]

"The town we'll be heading to before our ultimate destination is called Landoww. The castle itself has no name I'm aware of, but is relatively close by. The people there might know more. As to the food... There'll be some available later. Though if you want any sort of warm dish like soup, you're out of luck."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Hmm. What sort of people populate Landoww?"

[UXLZ]

"It's a small town, not known for anything in particular."

[GiglameshDespair]

"Then what's nearby? There has to be some reason people went to the effort of building a castle there."

[UXLZ]

"I'm not really sure. To my knowledge the castle, or at least the foundation of it, is very old. It's possible that whatever inspired the construction of it in the first place is long gone. Mines that have collapsed and been forgotten, or old trade routes destroyed by the changing of territory and tides of war."

[GiglameshDespair]

"So what do you know about the castle, then?"

[UXLZ]

"It is very rundown, currently inhabited by ex-soldier brigands, and my father was very interested it. Why that was, I'll be going into more detail later."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Hmm. I suppose they'll be grateful to be rid of the criminals at least."

"Can you tell us more about the land around this castle? Does it sit on flat plains, or in a forest perhaps?"

[UXLZ]

"I've never been there myself, but I think the terrain is slightly hilly, and forested. It's situated a distance from the town, not particularly far, but a distance nonetheless."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Then it's possible they're even better fortified than I originally thought. This may be... difficult."

[Tiruin]

"I'm thinking it's terrain moreso--going by that, if you'd wish ma'am, I would like to volunteer to scout ahead (with anyone else if able?) or around the area when we arrive on the perimeter."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"If it comes to that, I'll go with you miss Tali. I fight bandits quite often and am familiar with their usual strategies and fortifications. Aside from my experience, it's also wise to scout in pairs - a second set of eyes and perhaps more importantly a second blade can be a lifesaver."

[Tiruin]

Tali turned a subtly expectant smile as she gestured at Ashlyssa.
"I am grateful. It is always good to be with mutual company. We can easily blend in as travelers with our clothing, too."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"No need to thank me. It is only good sense to assist my allies."

"Also, you are the only other swordswoman here and I would like to study your technique, if that's all right with you. Perhaps we can spar later; I often find that's the best way to learn from someone."

Ash wasn't trying to be rude to Liz and Arachne, but they were using knives, not swords.
