Lyra - according to Durelin's post above - the troops are two days away from Tinuviel's village.
Why don't you go ahead and get them to within striking distance of the village - camp on the outskirts (I doubt it's big enough to have an Inn to house all of you). Send someone in to see what the village is like, bring back a little report on it to the High Priestess or the Captain of the troops.
This is your first strike among the desert dwellers for the Eye - you'll want to rattle your sabers, give them a taste of how powerful the Eye's troops are, strike fear.
There will be a trader there from the Baobabs who will hightail it back to the tribe (a day's journey from the Baobabs and Painted Sanders) to warn them what is coming.
