[@The Wyrm] Well I was using [quote]Once the Omadon reached the bridge and Nizar split off Nyon kicked his horse into a trot and continued down the road. While traveling Von Nyon took mental notes on what he sees down to the ditches by the side of the path. As Nyon passed houses he checked for signs of life to note if there is occupants of the possible "strong holds" When Nyon reached the forest he followed his NCO's idea and dismounted for that portion of the route. Nyon finally got where the two patrol paths intersect but did not see Konyk. The horses did require a rest and so Nyon had his Omadon dismount, seek cover under a tree and stay in a half alert posture.(one man rests while the other watches) Nyon waited till the horses were fresh, then took off at a higher tempo than before to make up for lost time. [/quote] for reference, for it appeared to me that we had already done one patrol.
