"[color=f26522]Fine fine, as you will.  We'll try things their way, yes?[/color]"  He said, still sounding less than pleased with this option.  Locking eyes with Kella, after several seconds she gave a near-imperceptible nod- as though some unspoken understanding or conclusion had been made between the two of them.

"[color=a187be]Look here.[/color]"  She said after the moment had passed.  She touched each of seven squares on the map before her, before stopping on the seventh in the Southwest corner of the town, which has been crossed out.  "[color=a187be]We have a man in each of these towers save this last one, which was too badly damaged by boulders to use.  Two men are also patrolling the perimeter- one of them swears he saw a light in the ruined keep.[/color]"  

"[color=f26522]But that was before the attack began so it could hardly have been those orcs unless they are much more clever than any orc I have ever met before in my life.  I told him that we had already gotten you lot to search the keep and since you all came back empty handed I can only assume he was imagining things.  Nerves and all have some of the men a bit jumpy.[/color]"

"[color=a187be]Either way, we will have at least two men covering you at the gate and plenty more watching to make sure they don't try something while our attention is elsewhere.  If that is all, then feel free to try your method.[/color]
