After a short rest in the camp you are called into the Duke's tent again for the war council. The Duke and his sons are seated at a small folding table, while Gabriele and Severin are told to stand at the back of the tent. After a few more minutes of everyone milling around and young officers trying to push their way to the front, the Duke raps the table and says, "Gentlemen. The plan is as follows. Sir Denis will use the camp followers and laborers from Stralwald to build a bridge across the torrent so that the wagons can cross. Work parties will begin logging immediately to acquire timber for this, the soldiers will provide security as necessary. Meanwhile, Sir Laurens will lead a hand-picked force of mounted men to perform a chevauchee around Inselberg to try and draw out Tollares, and, if possible, defeat him. If we can defeat him on the field without having to storm the Inselberg, so much the better. If not, then once the rest of the army is able to reach the fortress, we will besiege it and storm it, if needed. Are there any questions?" The Duke pauses for a moment and then resumes, as if to indicate that he does not intend to answer any questions. "Sir Laurens will leave with his chosen men tomorrow morning. The rest of you will work with Sir Denis to construct the bridge and move the supply wagons across the canyons. Dismissed."
