Krolik & Marxelle
Marxelle
I’ve got a plan to set up a safe corridor for the refugees, but I could use a trickster’s touch to make the enemy think we’re moving elsewhere. Got any ideas on how to pull that off?
Krolik
Sure thing. First, plant a fake route that looks convincing—draw a trail on a map, send a few of your crew to act like they’re heading that way, and use a smokescreen or a little fire to “blow up” that path. While everyone’s eyes are on the false trail, slip the real convoy through the quiet, less guarded corridor. Drop a few old radio chatter, tell the enemy that the convoy’s heading north, and even plant a decoy “keycard” in the enemy’s inbox that says “new route: east.” They’ll chase the decoy, you’ll be safe. Easy as that.

That’s a solid outline. Just make sure the fake route looks legit enough that the enemy’s patrols actually turn their eyes that way. And keep the radio chatter tight; we don’t want to give away any real coordinates. Good plan, just run the details through the logistics team to check for any gaps.

All right, you’ll give the guards a tasty little mirage. Sketch the fake trail with the same worn rope and old maps, scatter a few of your slickest guys to claim the “new path” with exaggerated excitement, and leave a small fire or flash in the trees to keep the eyes glued. Then slip the real convoy through the quiet back alley with the same gear, but keep the radios on a low whisper and use a coded phrase—no real coordinates, just a hint that the “east corridor” is the real line. That way, you’ll have them chasing shadows while your people move under the radar. Just check the timing with the logistics crew and we’ll be golden.

Looks good. Timing is everything—make sure the decoy fire starts just as the first patrol turns, so the distraction hits right when the convoy pulls the trigger. Also double‑check the coded phrase with the communications team; one slip and we’re all exposed. Once that’s locked, we’re in.
