With the youth removed Bege continues, "I did not want to speak to
openly of our further actions in front of the lad. Things may go
amiss with him or he may very skillfully be playing false with us.
But I believe we have the makings of a plan. I think our chance is
the fact the inner gate is open during the day. As you all have
suggested, we will enter the gatehouse at night then send a forlorn
hope to seize the inner gate and find the maid. The wearing of those
badges will give our forlorn hope a chance to surprise those that
guard the gate and the maid."

"Now I shall send for Ieuan's man, to see if he recalls the floor plan
of the tower, and where the maid will likely be held. While we wait
for him to come, any further thoughts to improve our plan would be
appreciated. I think tomorrow night we'll make the gatehouse ours."

Actions?

OOC: Finally on an even keel. Expect to post regularly now. Thanks
for your patience. Wife is doing well. Thanks.


OOC: Glad to hear it, sorry for being so quiet!

Tathal grins, action at last. "I look forward to it my lord! We shall restore
the land and castle to its rightful owner and win honor for both ourselves and
the Earl. I can not think of anything to add to the plans, save that I hope that
I may be among the group that helps to take the gatehouse."
