Helena nodded to Thearon. "However, we shouldn't become arrogant. I want us in two teams of three, and close enough that one team can aid the other if neccessary. Thearon, Veronica and I will sweep the east side of the pass. Logan, Hal and Saren will take the west. Be sure to stay away from areas where you could be easily am=bushed on multiple sides. If you think you've found where they are, don't engage. Send up a flare and the other team will find you so you can assault together." Having said that, she placed a handful of flare rockets fresh from the local Connlaothan gunsmith on the table. "Three flares for each team, one for each member."

Graven pulled out his knife and stabbed it into one of the rabbits, drawing out any residual life energy left in it. He had built up some stores over the past months, but he still didn't have nearly as much now as he had before. "It's a good thought," he said in reply to Fawn," But I'm afraid my men have scoured everything up to the Serenian border, and there's not a cave to be found on this side that could support the numbers we've gathered." He indicated the new once-dead Fawn had supplied him with; eight in total. With Cal, Bron, Graven and Fawn, that brought their total up to twelve. "We'd have to split into two or three small groups, which isn't viable seeing as my men rely on me for more life energy. Not to mention that we'd be completely isolated if one of the cells was found."
