Alrighty, my post is up. The day has ended, and the new one begins. There may be a small conflict between Ingemar and Adranel's 'fight' in my post. If it must be corrected, I'll fix it. Also, my character has spoke with Sjorging, and discussed both the troop size, and the possibility of the Men of Dale hanging around the Host.
Also, I will putting up a post within the next few days for the Orcs. They will begin the ambush in that post, and you will be left to fend it off.
