[Malber] [U] The Watering Hole

[Drevin]

Drevin just rolled his eyes at Resig and looked at the newcomer expectantly. He'd let the others explain themselves.

[Riesig]

"She thought it would be a good idea to get a visual plan of attack. So, what is the plan?" He asked with a smile.

[Rand M. Guardman]

"That's a pretty good idea, especially if we can get a good idea of where they are before an attack." Rand nodded a few times as he looked over the mist men.

Borla, the short man at his side, coughed and spoke up "I have a trade wagon that could take you as far as the stream, cut your journey time in less than half. You sure it won't be dangerous?" he asked, timidly.

[Drevin]

Drevin shrugged after a drink of ale.

"If you want to be certain you can drop us off within walking distance but out of sight of the stream. That's better anyway since it will allow us to scout the location and ensure the bandits aren't already there.

[Riesig]

Riesig nodded along at the conversation happening. For now he just had the mist men dancing poorly on the tabletop. If Drevin went to take another drink of ale, he used Transmute to make it into an inhalant, curious how the big man would react to the his drink becoming breathable.

[Rand M. Guardman]

"I appreciate that," said Borla "my mules are quite fast so let me know when you want to leave. We can get there within half a day." He seemed relieved that the group appreciated his concerns.

"So we're looking at a morning or evening approach... the gang like to party so they might be distracted in the night... or they're more likely to be suffering and tired in the morning." Randall mused out loud.

[Arl Lotreab]

Arl, happily believing things have momentarily settled between Riesig and Dreven, turns her full attention to the task at hand. "Would they be drawing water that late at night? Particularly if they like partying... hrm... do you think they might party at the stream? "

[Riesig]

Riesig had the mist men begin moving in stumbling patterns. "Morning would make them angrier, night would probably have more of them active. Whichever one presents the best opportunity would be my vote."

[Drevin]

Drevin set the mug down and leaned in on his elbows. "I say we show up at the stream tonight and setup our ambush for the morning. If they're partying then they'll be desperate for water in the morning and definitely send someone to the stream."

[Rand M. Guardman]

"Best of both worlds, I like it. How does that sound to you, Borla?" Rand asked.

"We would have to go very soon, but that sounds fine," the trader responded.
