Oswell turns away from th newly released knight. "It feels like hell. I was hoping it would be a simple matter of ousting Thatcher and then I could return home...seems things are never easy."
Oswel lwalks a ways away from the group of men, "What do you think of the situation? for now we head north, tough I do not know what good it will do should we run into Thatcher's men."

"If we want to help the north we need to be able to capture or hopefully kill Thatcher. That calls for a larger force then his own or something else."
As the walk Edmure looks out at some of men in the small force, "Why don't we simply walk into Thatcher's army and kill him."

Oswell looked at Edmure with a questioning look. "How do you propose we just waltz into his camp? I am sure it would not be so easy as that. But something tells me there is more to this than you say. I would not be oposed to simply slitting his throat and wisking the princess way with us, were it so easy."

"Thatcher is the focus for the enemy. He is the great betrayer the man who killed so many across the realm was pretty much ruler for many years. If a handful of us were to find horses or even better an actually scouting party kill them and return to his camp."

Oswell thought the matter over. "There is wisdom in your plan, though it is risky. Perhaps an unecessary risk. I would want to go myself, so Ragnor would then take the command for a time. Do you have any men in mind for sucha mission...had I not sent away Master Mopatis...he would be a perfect canidate."

Edmure nodded, "I believe not to be upstaged that Ragnor would want to come as well. Lady Thorelda and Neddrick Flowers are two fine fighters that I know of."

"You are right about Ragnor, he will want to do his part. I suppose it will depend on how many uniforms we get."
Oswell pulls a guard aside, "Go and tell the scouts, should they any lone enemy men to take them and return with their uniforms and horses. Should they come across any small bands of guards or scouts have them return with all haste so that we may send men out to overcome them. Go now, and hurry."
"If we could get into Thatcher's camp and take him it would be a great help. But I do not mean to leave without the princess."

"I doubt if we succeed in killing Thatcher that two many people will be worrying about the Princess. Lord Tully I know this may seem such a small matter but are you ready to face death. Getting in may be the easy part... getting back out will be harder."

"I am fully aware of how dangerous escaping will be...how nearly impossible it will be. But our charge here was to aid the Queen in rescuing her sister, and I do not mean to risk everything just to kill thatcher and die. Should you want to do such, I will not stop you.but if I am to be involved the princess is a part of the plan."

"I know that what I meant was leaving with the Princess." An idea formed in Edmure's head. "Lord Tully what of this plan. Instead of going straight too Thatcher we rescue the Princess first then some leave protecting her and in the confusion we find Thatcher and kill him. That way even if the assassination fails Princess Kyma is safe."

Oswell nods, the gears beginning to turn in his head. "That does seem a better plan. What would you say to our army make a stab into Thatcher's forces, giving us more time to retreat and adding all the more to the confusion. It would not need to be an all-out battle, simply a stab and run menuever."

"That would work even better. As the battle happens on one side of the camp we retreat from the other side. That does of course mean that same will be forced to leave with the Princess. How will it be decided." Edmure knew that himself and others would want part of the glory for killing Thatcher.

Oswell thought for a moment, "How do you propose we make any kind of assault on the castle? It is the largest keep in the realm, and easilly defended. Our force would be broken before they made any kind of opening for us. I am beginning to think this plan unwise. Perhaps it would work for a small group of men, but not a plan as you are proposing. And then there is the issue of Myma, Thatcher has vowed to kill her should anyone try anything. I will not be responsible for her death."

"I always proposed for a small amount of men. Ten at the most. But it is only an idea if you do not wish to risk it I will stand by your decision."

"Select ten men, ten of your most cunning. Choose them well, and make sure their leader will not balk at the danger, I do not want you to go yourself, shold the mission fail you are too important to lose. Tell me when yo uhave your men together, and I will see to it they have the horses and uniforms they need."
