"Yes, I am. I've thought a lot about that, but it hasn't changed anything about my decision." Ahnasha answered. Of course, she did not mention the actions she had taken in response to that issue. She did not exactly want others to know about the tome back with the rest of her belongings that she had been studying, at least not strangers. Necromancy was not a popular practice anywhere in Tamriel, and it was particularly reviled in Dunmer traditions. Given the size of the clan, there were likely mages among them capable of necromancy, but she did not know if any of them practiced it openly. Ahnasha was not content with dying after only a fraction of Fendros' lifespan, but she could act as if she was. 

Meesei was increasingly aware of the terrain the group was entering into. She considered the potential tactical implications of the terrain, and though several of them actually worked in their favor, she did have a few worries. The trail was narrow, so they did not have as much room to maneuver as she would have liked, though neither would their enemy. Fendros' observation was likely correct, so she needed to plan to make the most of the situation. "Yes, this trail is something like a pass, without much room to maneuver. Provided it does not open into a wider area, we would be forced to fight the enemy only a few at a time...though that is not a disadvantage for us. We are lycans, after all; in single combat, we are quite capable of overpowering most normal mortals. The most effective strategies for fighting lycans involve surrounding, outnumbering, and outmaneuvering us. Since this pass prevents them from effectively outnumbering us, they may be looking to surround us. If there is an enemy force following us, they would be able to attack us from both sides. Oswall, could you have one or two of your men follow a short distance behind us? Preferably people who can move stealthily and warn us if the enemy is approaching from behind, without being detected themselves. With warning, we could turn such an attack into an ambush of our own. And of course, we will need to keep an eye out for environmental hazards around us as well, such as falling rock traps." She warned before turning her head to Lorag.

"Also, Lorag, I would like you to move to the back of our group and help guard our flank, in the event that we are attacked from behind." Meesei added, to which he quickly agreed.
