Cratol keeps pulling the handcart with their added supplies on it. He will be prepared to fight against this caravan soon. He feels that taking them out is the best thing to do and get the spoils back to Greenest. He listens to see what the plans are for attacking the caravan.
"Then they first stop for the day, I agree may be the best time to attack. That is if everyone is ready for combat," Came the question with a smile, as Geoffroy wishes to make sure his companions are ready. The tactics being discussed seemed to be fair ideas, and not those which could bring too much risk.
Still, the Morningliege will continue with the words, "If we are going to do this though, we need to make sure and get it right the first time. If we rush in there and fail to neutralize the treat, the element of surprise will be lost and our enemy will be ready for us to come back." Hopefully what Geoffroy was saying made sense.
As they all discussed Elyria felt this was a good idea to talk to one she had been watching. Moving so that she was by Mari's side, she asks the young woman softly, "Hey, is everything all right? Something looks like it has been bothering you." Offering a smile, Elyria hoped the girl might talk to her since they were both following another of the Silver Blaze and stayed more in the background.
The party continues to keep the caravan on the horizon as they move. There are around 2 dozen people up there, nearly all human.
They break for camp well before dark. These lands are not quite as flat as the greenfields you chased Cyanwrath's group through, but the cover of darkness will still be needed to get close enough to strike without warning.
"Well, it appears we either hit em after darkness or they know we come. Unless we can swing wide this knight and set an ambush with part of our force while the rest hits their back. But I may be over thinking this." Fay looks to Geoffroy.
Lia shrugs. " I think that we should hit them tonight. Hit them from different directions and get this over with. The sooner we turn around with these wagons the better. "
Mari notices Elyria next to her. She has an inscrutable look on her face after the squire finishes speaking. " I'm fine Elyria. Thanks for your concern. " She walks away from the young squire.
"I agree we should hit them during the night, though perhaps focus more on those guard who stay awake before moving onto those who will be less prepared for the fight," Geoffroy says, considering all that had been said already.
Continuing, the Morningliege offers his thoughts, "In general, going after those who appear the greater threat, though hitting them from all side could lead to confusion all around." In the cover of the night he was very much in agreement in, though on what path they could take in doing so was its own question.
Elyria watches as she moves away and suspects, as did perhaps one other, that something was up. Yet thinking that Mari might talk to her was perhaps incorrect, as they admittedly hadn't spoken really before. The squire considers talking to Lia or Fay about it, since they were closest to her.
Out of Character: Yah, I didn't suspect that would go anywhere as they really haven't interacted before.

Nyzahr gets ready for the battle to come and silently prepares her strategy for the ambush.
Out of Character:
Thinking of using Major Image as a diversion during the attack. She will say nothing of her plans to anyone sofar (Unnerving loner that she is…), just wanted to announce the spell she will have prepared for the attack.
