"Now, to make preparations..." Exile whispered to himself as other players returned from relaying their orders to the NPCs.
He pulled a stack of blank parchment towards himself and began writing orders for specific people. The first was for Winter. She was to lay waste to the Royal factions' Jarls mentality who would remain behind. She was to invade their dreams and sow discontent for their gods and kings in their minds. This would attack their will to fight against the dwarves when they arrived.
The second was for Clay. He would take Burri, Old Un and Leggy with their troops through the Silverfang Pass to the far side of the mountains. From there, they were to discover the path used by Parthus before retreating a distance back towards the Silverfang Pass. Enough so that Parthus could not discern how many troops were there blocking the way. This way, any who survived would be reluctant to go in that direction and face another battle.
