Hydra & Theron
Theron
I’ve been thinking about the way the wind’s been shifting lately, and it seems like someone’s planning to take advantage of the town’s supply routes. What do you think is the best way to keep our people safe while still keeping an eye on the bigger picture?
Hydra
We should set up a silent watch along the key routes, using small, mobile squads that can strike swiftly. Keep the main forces in reserve and let the locals handle the day‑to‑day. Monitor the wind patterns, they’ll give us clues about the enemy’s timing, and stay ready to pivot if the plans shift. That way we protect the people without exposing our own moves.
Theron
Sounds solid. Let’s get the squads moving and set up a simple signal system so we can stay tight and keep the people safe.
Hydra
Form three quick‑reaction squads, each with a scout and a guard. Use a three‑tone whistle: one long, one short, one long for patrols; one short, two longs for an attack; one long, two shorts for a retreat. Keep the signals low‑profile and repeat the pattern every few minutes so the townsfolk can pick up on it without arousing suspicion. The squads should move in staggered waves along the supply routes, covering each other’s blind spots. That’s all you need to stay tight and keep the people safe.
