"My friends, I fear that a direct assault on the castle may not be within our capabilities."
Turning to each of his companions in turn "this war will be a long one and it will not serve our cause to die in the our first skirmish"
"It may well serve our cause if we could find a vantage point and watch the comings and goings in Tandir to see how big the garrison is and where they are billeted, for if the garrison is large it may well be billeted in the town itself, and torching the town may serve a purpose. If no enemy be billeted in the town then it may be wise to leave the town alone, let us not give cause for the Jarin to take up arms against us."
Pausing to take a drink, Ulauf continues "with 4 archers in the group we stand a good chance of getting most of the town afire and with you Igon, Jorst and Haefnir to protect us while we work."
Looking towards Igon Ulauf says "for our other companion Igon who would you recommend from our kinsman, he will need to be good with a bow and stout of heart, for where we go is into the bears den"
"Your thoghts my friends....?"
"We will only get one chance at this and so it must work to maximum effect."
