I would say being a bear might be too noticeable and there is certainly no way Brannor can fight off two guards alone, even if they were as feeble as some of the lesser cultists we battled the last time; the odds to strike one down with a single hit is poor enough that it is not likely to succeed. That said, an alternative is in mind to provide for a distraction, though it will put the people at risk. Our resident ranger-knight has no other option but to consider it, so the question becomes, is there a lantern anywhere near the back of the slave tent, [@Hekazu]? Something that could be knocked over from afar, in an "accident", whilst say from somewhere hidden? Or perhaps picked up and thrown from a distance?

I am reasoning that will certainly cause a disturbance and if an alarm is raised, I imagine the focus will be on that side of the camp, putting out the fires, and accounting for prisoners. By the time all of that is settled, we should be long gone into the wilderness in the dead of night.
