Valier,
Glad you liked it.
I am thinking if we attempt to ambush the strangers, we should do it as a total group rather than splitting up by gender.....not that Incana or whoever wants to couldn't take the lead in the posting and assault. First, I do think you'd need to get the warning from Dorran that these could be lead men in a party of Easterling or Southern slavers. That would make the situation much more dire. And if they might be slavers, we'd realistically stick together for safety.
But let's wait to see what Arry says as the game founder, since he may have something else up his sleeve or some preferences of his own.
