We ought to engage during the day. We shouldn't let them choose the conditions of the engagement.

[Tiruin]

You call a tactical retreat southeast, half a day march from the current location.

The next evening, a new camp is ready for action, if action ever comes. You also receive a messenger; King Tinwulf II have personally embarked with almost two thousand foot and thousand cavalry to help you against the scaly menace from under the mountains, but the heavy weather conditions in Dahnia mean that it might take them a week if not more before they join you.

This King. So nice. Personally helping us himself.
And probably not the glory grabbing type.

We are BEST VASSAL.
Great choices
B
We can discover that they've a sneakery aptitude.
Or go A >_>
They may be disinclined to light in the day. Maybe. But sounds and otherwise travel better at night. ._.;
And since we're going to face a mountain full of magic lizards, a fortified camp seems like a nice spot...

Rip I guess

You decide to get into open battle iwth the lizard during the day, when they can't hide in darkness and sneak upon you.

Few hours later, the lizards are met in battle!

7*

You utterly crush the opposition! The hunting party of 40-something lizards is destroyed completely, and this time you lose only twice that number of soldiers yourself.

As you reach the site of first encampment and first battle, the scouts report that no more lizard parties are coming toward you.

A) Splendid! We shall therefore entrench and wait for King Tinwulf to arrive with his men!
B) Onwards then! We will smash into the lizards when they least expect us!

OK, new things discovered o_o The sun is our best friend and not sealing in those saurians lizards was somewhat good since a Tactical mind always beats them.

And numbers. Please numbers. They're like those Giants we had faced back in Luathbas, but Xanga-ish.

and this time you lose only twice that number of soldiers yourself.

Well ._. This is good...news.
Doesn't look like there are weather modifiers unless it turns into night, as sneaky sneaky lizards. Bad grammar aside, it does seem like there are different types of lizards, and the one where we got a -1 was their ambushers.

For more science?

[Weirdsound]

If an epic victory for us still means 2-1 losses, I think we should wait for his highness King Meatshield to show up. A

Okay, see this is sustainable. If they just keep sending small hunting parties at us until Tinwulf arives, we're golden.
...which should only be in a few days, right? So we're probably fine.

You have the campsite fortified and your soldiers await reinforcements.

Two mornings later, the trumpets announce the arrival of King Tinwulf II "The Trollslayer", and his almost three thousand soldiers, at your camp!

Your senior meets with you immediatelly and you two exchange pleasantries, before you brief Tinwulf on the fights with the lizards; about hunting parties, about their strength, their night-time attacks. He strokes his long brown beard for a while.

"We shouldn't tarry on, then. What I have learned during fighting with the Trolls is that they are predisposed to fighting at night. You should send your men to find the lizards' man camp and we should strike it when the sun is high."

A) "That is a sound advice, I will send scouts and hunters immediately. Once their camp is found, we attack!"
B) "Apologies, your Majesty, but I think we should stay here and await for another skirmish with a small group of hunters."

[Donuts]

Well, we know from experience and the King himself knows as well!

[Tiruin]

Good info! :O

Hopefully this'll bring us closer to the Xanga. Because these don't really seem like them despite being in our 'south'. (I got the direction frm Tven right, right?)

[NUKE9.13]

Sounds like Tinwulf is also Martial. What man or beast can stand against the two of us together?
...hopefully that also applies to beastmen.
