"Perhaps." Ri'vashi answered with some uncertainty in her tone, though even now, she was examining the map to pick out the shortest distances from the tree line to the walls. "Do you believe that would work on Do'rhajul, Lorag?" She asked.

Lorag unfolded his arms and leaned forward onto the table. "Now you're startin' to think. But...I don't know. I could see it working at first, but it don't take long for Do'rhajul to pick up on these things. Very observant. Biggest problem I see is how wide the clearing is around the fortress. Only way to keep our numbers hidden is to keep them behind the treeline, but from there, it would take time for them to make the run to the walls and set up the ladders. I can guarantee, Do'rhajul will know exactly how long that would take. He might realize that he can just keep most of his forces focused on the main gate, and just order them to move if he sees the others advancing with the ladders."

"That is an issue, but...perhaps we can find a way to obscure our forces even in the clearing." Ri'vashi suggested, turning her attention to Meesei. "You mentioned that it is possible to create a mist around the area. We could follow Gallus' suggestion and set up decoy forces to surround the stronghold. From there, if we cover the area in mist as we start our charge, we can obscure our numbers while making it seem as if we are just trying to obscure our warriors from their archers."

"Yeah, and as a side effect, it'll obscure our warriors from their archers." Lorag chuckled.
