[Poised on a stretch of snow-capped cliffs looking over Cothromach's strong-hold on one side, Cu Chulainn posted on his locket and gave it a wide grin. His spear was resting over his shoulder and he looked absolutely unbothered by the razor-sharp, freezing winds lashing at him. In the far distance, a plume of black smoke rose up from a camp that he had recently razed and destroyed. Lancer made his distance earlier, to avoid being scouted too easily]

Hey there. It's come to my attention that we've got some unwelcome Unseelie soldiers sticking around Cothromach. I think they figured their camps were pretty well-disguised, but after awhile--it gets tough to hide that many soldiers. So--

[With a grin, he stood up straight and began walking up the cliff-face, scaling the mountain on foot. At that point, the mangled and burning Unseelie camp could be seen more clearly in the opposite direction as Cothromach. The mountain face gave Lancer an eagle's view of that camp, though it was largely too difficult for most people to scale as quickly as he had.]

I'm usually the type to hog the glory, but I'm missing a few of my precious abilities, so I'll need some help rooting those folks out and running them out of these lands. Who's in for some raids?

[OOC: Plot planning is here!]

Pay Stiles no mind. [It's better for everyone's sanity that way.] I'm the Captain of Cothromach's Guard. Do you know why they've taken up camp there specifically?

Captain of the Guard, Lord Commander of being a wolf god... that's totally the same thing.

[Rude, Jon. You will pay Stiles all the mind.]

It's not, you great bag of wind and lies. [He says that with love, tho.]

Kind of is.

[Dear Lancer, this is what you'll have to deal with. Learn early.]

Wolf god, huh? [He did well to remember that very important term.]

Well, it's pretty obvious why enemy camps would be set up gradually enclosing a city, right? They're a ways out, but it's clear they're ready to make a march if need be and retreat if a big force comes their way.

[Lancer no!!] I'm no wolf god, only a man, and the one who says otherwise is full of hot air. [Tell that to his pack of insanely giant wolves that he shares a psychic link with... MOVING ON:]

Cothromach welcomes any man, regardless of court, but if he comes sneaking up with sword in hand I'll see him smashed or routed instead. You are looking for a small raiding party, are you not? How many would you call upon to aid you in your efforts?

Hmmm. I'm so used to just collecting folks as I left my fortress, so this sort of recruiting's a bit new to me.

Ideally, a small camp would be preferable. Three dozen soldiers, split into three groups. It's supposed to be a light operation designed to take advantage of surprise and terrain to eliminate the camps--

So, I don't want anything bigger than those groups of 'a dozen' soldiers.

[It probably sounded insanely low to Jon Snow, he imagined--but, then Cu Chulainn wasn't knowledgeable of the limitations of The Wall.]
