Algernon "Algie" Blackthorn, Magic-user

Algernon returns to the ground to report his findings. "There is an encampment due south of here. I do not believe I was seen, as I have learned that most species hardly every look up, but I would suggest caution in the approach. Perhaps it would even be wise to circle around and approach from another direction. If it is the hobgoblin encampment, it is likely they have perimeter guards stationed about. How far away, I know not, but it raises the question of whether we proceed with abandon in the hopes of surprising them with our ruse, or shall we secret the carts nearby and proceed on foot, as stealthily as possible? A third option, I suppose, would be to send one or two onwards on horseback, to stumble upon the guards and camp, then flee back here, in the hopes of drawing the bulk of their forces to a location of our choosing -- drawing them out into an ambush, in other words."
