"An ambush is certainly an apparent possibility," Gallus said, leaning forward onto his fists and staring at the table in thought. "However, I could see it turned to other means. Personally, if I were in charge of an army of monsters that I wanted wiped from the face of the earth, I would direct them to attack the largest powers in the region. In this case, I would have the Orcrest clan attack the Aldmeri Dominion military. It would reveal the scale of our own organisation and rile the fury of arguably the greatest power on the continent."

Gallus looked up and waved a hand, "Ah, but that is just conjecture. If we keep on our toes, we should be able to spot such a trap before falling into it, especially with our timing here." Gallus shifted back in his seat again, "But yes, if we continue running with the assumption that our enemies [i]believe[/i] they are in control of us, that could be powerful indeed." Gallus' eyes went to Meesei, "I would assume that the purpose of drawing out this clan's warriors would be render this place less defended, much like the ruse at Bruma a few years ago, but more permanent." He extended a palm up and uncurled a finger to Meesei, "That means they will have to get its location from you, their informant. That's when we can turn the tables. If we can feed the enemy false information about our numbers, our positioning, and in particular the position of the clanhome, we could set up an ambush for them instead. Any force we eliminate or distract in such a way is likely a force we will not have to deal with at the stronghold we want to capture."

Though he wasn't really an expected participant in the meeting, Fendros leaned forward and gave a cautious comment. "Do you think...well, I would not think that the Meesei impersonator would be the direct contact for the enemy. She is in the public eye too much. Do you think they would try to establish contact with one of her companions instead?"
