Ferthyr glanced over towards his bulky friend, compiling what he had proposed. Still the first thing he could come up with was another humble begging for... well... not mercy, but reconsideration. With his usual chesty, but low voice tunneling through the air between them the words "Are you sure you want to pull this off ?" were raised. It dawned upon Ferthyr that the answer could only be much more affirmative than he honestly, though in silence, was hoping for.

"It's [i]damn[/i] risky... I think that the element of surprise is our only chance. You're better at taking people out silently than me I guess, so I think you'll have to go ahead." Ferthyr raised his head, looking at the line of trees that was separating them from their moving target. "If I start off from a greater height I could move much faster for the initial phase of the fight by gliding from tree to tree. Also I'd be safe from any melee attackers and have many leaves to obstruct the vision of those that aren't using swords on my side. If they spot me up in the treetops they'll have less eyes for the ground and given my appearance they probably won't suspect that there's a human around and on their attacker's side."

Ferthyr didn't stand while waiting for Bardeck's answer, but got moving right away and approached one of the massive trunks. "I hope they don't hear this..." and his one hand that was riddled with claws was slammed into the tree's bark. It wasn't exactly elegant how Ferthyr was climbing, but at least it appeared that he could defeat gravity. "It won't take long until I'll hit the ground again. If you have any better suggestions I'd be happy to hear them now." Last but not least the men were still on the move. If they'd wait to long this tree would be too far away to be of any use.

"Say... can you fight from horseback on tight corners ? If I am to attack first you don't need to go in slowly I'd guess, but do it with speed and power. Those steeds can barely carry me but I guess you are considerably lighter ?"
