"Both." Renn said, glancing around the crowd of warriors. Most of them were eager for combat, eager to fight, but this was a battle they couldn't win. His father had always told him that war was about choosing the right battlefield. Getting your men slaughtered in a blaze of glory didn't do...

Renn rubbed at his fae. "No." The Knight shot down the idea almost as quickly as he could, looking at the man with a shake of his head. "We're not going to send someone parading in front of the cave entrance flashing their ankles." Man or woman. "Urial." His attention turned towards one of...

He shook his head. "Not a good idea." Though he gave Thalia a look that clearly spoke 'keep it down'. They couldn't be caught off-guard here, not if they wanted to live. "There's too many, and Ogre's are stupid but they're hunters." A fact which Renn only knew because of old stories. Lips...

Renn nodded. "This is bigger." There was no doubting that. "Ogres, Orcs, Trolls...fuck, Half-trolls I guess." There was a difference between the two, slight as it may have been. They behaved differently and one was most definitely smarter than the other. Something he'd learned over the years...

They moved back just as quietly as they had moved up, though now there was more tension than ever before. As they reached the other Renn made a quick motion with his hand, signalling to the others as he took in a deep breath. He moved them beneath a rocky outcropping, within view of the path...

Renn shook his head. "No." Most definitely not. He had every confidence in his men. They weren't proper soldiers, at least not really, but they could handle themselves in a fight. He would have taken them into any number of battles, some even against a greater amount of foes. This though...

Renn and Thalia crept forward. Their pace was not in the least bit quick, but it was one which saw them draw to the entrance of the cavern without being seen. The Knight kept his hands close to his side, ready to draw sword and dagger to jump into any fight. Yet no guards had been set to watch...

"I can't?" Renn quickly countered, though from the look on his face it was clear he was simply being obstinate. For a few seconds he thought, glancing at the men he'd taken with him. They were all good, well trained. Some like Thalia were still a bit green, but they could hold their own well...

They were nearly down in the caverns now. On the plateau one could go above or below, and where the Orcs had been heading was most definitely below. Sheer cliffs lined the edge of the plateau, and small mountain paths lead to the valleys that rimmed the whole expanse. It was a confusing maze...

As they continued their trek the edge of the plateau came into view. It was an almost immediate drop-off, a cliff face that seemed to go down several hundred meters before reaching a valley like bottom one couldn't quite make out. As Thalia sidled up besides him Renn ran a hand through his...

Renn was back to strapping on his armor, an exercise that always proved a little more difficult than he would have liked. A smile touched his lips as the twins took jabs at one another, but he didn't respond. Instead he motioned towards those he had already given commands to, pulling on his...

Renn smirked. "Orcs." The answer was tongue in cheek in a way. There were few true 'enemies' in this part of the Plateau. A few years ago the most anyone could expect was Bandits, some boar, and that was about it. Now Menalus and his orcs were a constant threat. He was almost entirely sure...

"Going to need you to come with me." Renn said simply, seemingly entirely unbothered by the fact that she had been pointedly not paying attention to him. Management was not something he had ever excelled at. His gifts lay more with the sword than it did in command. That was one of the reasons...

"Women. Can't ever get on their good side." One of the men said with a slight chuckle, though it was immediately cut off as one of the other women in the group offered him a knee to the back of the head. "Ow!" "I was trying to show you my good side." Renn smirked slightly at Iren's quick...

"Good."[/color[ Renn said with a smile as he bit down on the shank. His father had always told him that those he could trust on the field of battle where those he could trust in life. It was advice that he had taken to heart, and during this campaign the worse resonated beyond anything else...
