Friday August 8, Otter Ferry
Our vanguard has crossed the Scamander unchallenged and remains hidden on the
southern bank of the river. Their assault will begin two hours after midnight
against Shiver's right flank, at the same time the Madrigal garrison throws open
the Gate of Storms and attacks her from the front.
But I won't be anywhere near Madrigal when this happens. An hour before the
main attack a small group of men and I will head in the opposite direction and
strike at the enemy camp alone, hoping to divert forces and attention from the
city before the real battle begins.
The plan is to fight our way across a bridge and into the captured village of
Comfort. From there we'll locate the enemy camp and create as much of a diversion
as possible.
Every thrall that remains in the camp to deal with us is one less that our
main force must hack to pieces at Madrigal.
