Semult adds to the conversation after getting a more detailed debriefing from the scouting. "Ah, I thought we'd be coming from the south too. Yes, rescuing the prisoners first makes sense. I'm sure those who can fight will want a chance for revenge. Three, maybe four points of battle. Prisoners, gear, citadel, undead. Once one starts we'll have to assume their other camps will get alerted. If not, all the better but we shouldn't plan for it. Once the battle starts anyone in the riverbed trying to get to the citadel will be easy targets for those guarding the gear. I suggest we focus our forces on one point at a time. Our troops need our magic and we need their numbers. Let's start with the prisoner planning first."

"What if we leave the riverbed sooner and hit Paradise Hill at dawn in three prongs from the east? The right flanking around the north side as possible, the center hitting straight on, and the left secures the bridge and covers the main body's left flank. Is it safe to assume Paradise Hill is a hill that would be somewhat safe from the catapults? They are slow to fire so even when they begin to fire I'M not so worried about them if we keep on the move. Once the hill is taken we can cross at the bridge. Thoughts so far?"
