They've not actually attacked anyone yet, is maybe. Why we shouldn't just destroy them outa hand right away.

Ah, I see what you mean. There is the slimmest of chances that they come in peace.
Yeah, I can go for that.

A instead

And another A for good measure!

[Haspen]

You fortify your camp and double the amount of sentries.

2*

You're woken up in the dead of night by screams of your soldiers and sounds of alarms! The lizards have snuck upon the camp and were spotted only as they began their rush from darkness into the light of the torches! Many a soldier were caught unprepared and were swiftly killed by their crude yet deadly axes and clubs.

You quickly pull up your pantaloons and take charge of the defense!

4*

Under your guidance, your soldiers manage to slowly grind the sudden attack into a halt...

6*

...and then a lizard carnage! None of the lizards surrender and all die fighting and bleeding upon piles of corpses of your soldiers.

By the morning, the wounded are taken care of and bodies accounted. Over hundred fifty of Tven soldiers perished and thirty-two lizard corpses were burnt. The scouts swear there should be more lizards though - which means few turned back before the assault.

You convene with your military advisors. They say it surely was a probing attack of sorts. You decide to...

A) Attempt to draw out another party of lizards into the camp and slowly bleed them out this way.
B) March forward to their camp and give them a thorough killing!
C) Abandon this site, retreat southeast a little bit, and regroup.

B

Lets not let that happen again. KILL! KILLLLLLLL!

Last time we did A it resulted in the whole force charging at us. They certainly are intelligent. Magic, war beasts, scouts. I find it hard to believe that they do not have that sense of battlefield awareness. Based on the fact that they fight to the death most times, I think it's likely that thier lack of strategy is intentional. They want to engage us. They want to fight.

I say C.
Retreat, find some high ground, fortify. I think it's unlikely that they would just ignore us. They want to attack us. Let them do that, and let us be ready for them.

[NUKE9.13]

Run away! We must await reinforcements from our senior before taking them on; without the benefit of superior numbers I don't like our chances.

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.

Four days later you get news about the lizards; another hunting party was spotted coming eastwards, picking through the remains of previous campsite and then going straight after you.

A) We won't get attacked in middle of night again! Time to send our troops against them and meet when conditions are more favorable to us.
B) Fortify the camp, post more sentries and get some more illumination going on, so even in middle of night we will be ready!

[NUKE9.13]

Well I wonder. Should we do what didn't work, or what has previously proven to work?
...
It's a tough choice, but I'm going to go with
