I can find nothing wrong with that entire assessment at the moment. Seems like a fairly good strategy from what I can see.

Just to be clear though, Vortigen is suggesting Khata erect some sort of defensive barrier around the Order of the Stars so that Vortigern can kill them so they don't get reinforcements?

Yeah, looking at it now, it isn't really the most coherent sentence I've ever written.

The plan would be to prevent any members of the Order of the Stars from escaping—the fewer enemy mages on the battlefield, the better.  A barrier put up by Khata would have the added benefit of being something that reinforcements would not be able to get through, but it is a task that could also be left to some of her magically inclined servants if she was needed elsewhere on the battlefield.  Of course, the Enlightened wouldn't be able to make as strong of a barrier as their master, but it would still accomplish the goal of keeping the mages inside, as they would be too busy dealing with Vortigern and his army of spirits to marshal their collective power and break out.

Of course, while Vortigern and his forces could probably handle the Order on their own, some help after the initial surprise attack wouldn't be entirely amiss...

And I just realized that I did miss something!  The Order of the Moon!  I'm not entirely sure what they [i]could[/i] do, but they could probably find a way to be a real nuisance if they tried hard enough.
