[Swordstar]

"Neither of you two are helping right now. You know we're perfectly capable of doing this ourselves. You two would help, yes, but it would just be risking yourselves..."

And then a stranger with a strong flair for the dramatics told them about their mission and she rolled her eyes.

"We wouldn't be hiding in this cellar if we weren't willing to fight. And if those two are coming, I'm certainly coming. I need to make sure they don't get themselves killed doing something stupid. And given they both have the ability to be stupid in different ways, I need to keep a close eye on them."

[CrimsonEon]

The swordsman, Kaldach, sighed as the hooded man made his spiel.
: "Save the theatrics for the enemy, if you're so inclined to it."
He turned around briefly to address Sharne.
: "And quit fretting. I've survived well enough beforehand." He stated bluntly before turning back to the hooded man, "How much time do we have? Every minute of preparation counts."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Five wagons will keep us in supply for some time, even after distributing to the rest of the townsfolk. Just be sure ya take the wagons intact if you can. We can't risk bringing them back here, so you'll need to transport them to one of my other contacts. He can swap you out for wagons not marked with a Mordo seal before you bring the haul back into town."

"If things go south, don't go dyin' over a couple a crates of food. Smash what you can and grab what you can carry, but don't go buying anythin' with your lives."

[Stirk]

"This looks like a perfect opportunity. It shouldn't be difficult to rout them even with our comparatively lower numbers in this situation.

[Lucus Casius]

The man gave Kaldach a brief look of annoyance, then shook his head.  He couldn't expect everyone to share his feelings on the matter, and so long as they were willing to fight for it...  that'd be enough, for now.

:  "They'll be in position by tomorrow afternoon.  We've less than a day to reach the site and prepare the ambush."

[Aliemma]

Farra made sure nobody was around before heading down the stairs, trying not to disturb any conversation with their creaking. She was able to catch the part of the conversation with five wagons as the subject.

"I'm terribly sorry, I just finished what I had to do. I suppose we don't have much time to rest before we gotta go."

[Lucus Casius]

The cloaked man watched the new arrival for a moment, eventually giving her a nod as well and gesturing for her to join them at the table.

:  "Little.  We need to be in position as soon as possible, to avoid missing them or arousing unnecessary suspicion.  But if we're quick enough, you might be able to find enough rest in there."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Bertholt, who had stayed silent up to this point, calmly speaks up.

"Where, exactly, are we to be setting this ambush?"

[Lucus Casius]

Martyn tapped the map again, indicating a small section of unnamed road.

:  "Here, where the road narrows.  Half a day's ride away.  We'll be able to hide in the brush until the time comes to strike...  Which reminds me.  If any of you have a way to block the road ahead of the wagons--axes, perhaps, and rope to drag a tree across the path--it might be useful.  We don't want the van running off while we hit the rear, or vice versa.  Unless you think you're up for splitting into separate teams, that seems the best option."

[Aliemma]

The cloaked man watched the new arrival for a moment, eventually giving her a nod as well and gesturing for her to join them at the table.

:  "Little.  We need to be in position as soon as possible, to avoid missing them or arousing unnecessary suspicion.  But if we're quick enough, you might be able to find enough rest in there."

Farra quickly nodded and mumbled a thanks as she seated herself.

"We wouldn't be hiding in this cellar if we weren't willing to fight. And if those two are coming, I'm certainly coming. I need to make sure they don't get themselves killed doing something stupid. And given they both have the ability to be stupid in different ways, I need to keep a close eye on them."

_{"I am not stupid, I've been doing this for a couple years and haven't died...} Esther muttered to herself.

"So, we're going now, then?"

[GiglameshDespair]

"Ain't gonna be too 'ard, specially wi' 'orses." She frowned."Splittin' up ain't no good though. We ain't got the numbers, and only Blueberry 'ere can 'eal people. Splittin' up an' he's vulnerable. "
She jerked a thumb at Bertholt.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"She's quite right. It would be foolish of me to accompany only one party, lest one of you is wounded."

[Swordstar]

"Haven't died yet... And I aim to keep it that way. Still. I agree with Roux. Whatever portion of the group we send, which seems to be all of us, we should stick together. That's the best way to keep all of us alive, which is the most important thing."

[Lucus Casius]

Now, that raised an eyebrow.

:  "A healer?  Well, either way, I agree.  Which is why I want to block the road.  I don't want to risk the wagons escaping."
