[He’s glad Bennet is willing to tolerate the proposition, however grudgingly. Peculiar as the man’s aversion to magic is, Stratos wouldn’t give a damn about it save for the continued risk that it will get him killed, whether by provoking the knight or hindering the tribune in keeping them both alive. If Bennet will at least permit him to use his skills to practical ends then this uneasy alliance will be much more tenable.
There’s a soft blue glow when he cups his hand and passes it over his face, and when he lowers it the same light lingers in his eyes. Stratos stares toward the camp, unhindered by the rocks in his way, head turning as he makes sure to take in the full extent. ]
I make them thirteen in all. Three on the rocks by the camp entrance and one on each lookout tower – safe to assume they’re archers. Five milling about inside the camp, two more farther back on a higher level… and one stationed up there.
[ He’s pointing up high, past the camp.] It may be possible to find a path up to that post from the rear, or to infiltrate from the side without being seen. This isn’t the most effectively fortified camp I’ve seen.
[For legionnaires it would be downright disgraceful; for bandits it’s merely amateurish. And probably lethal. He’s seen how sure-footed Bennet is on the rocks, though he refrains from making any direct suggestions to how they should proceed, lest the knight be prejudiced by their source.]
[OOC: Hey, it was a cool surprise to see this drop into my inbox! I’d actually love to pick this up again, it was a fun scene and I’ve gotten much more comfortable playing Stratos since then.]
