The hexblade looked over to the two most reasonable minds he knew in this place with a nod. 

[color=004b80]"You are right, anyone heading south is going to catch onto a missing village and report further north by the end of the day. I'll ride with you to help keep things quiet, just give me a second to get some different gear." [/color]

He listened to the kobold with a grin as he touched the vial from earlier. On one hand, he considered to keep it for later on the ride north or after a evening with the pixie he had waiting in his room, but the other was to return the unused supply at least as a token gesture for the dragonkin to refuse if he didn't need it. In the end the token gesture won out as he removed the philtre to hand it down to the scaled sage.  

[color=004b80]"Not a bad suggestion if we can borrow some orcs for the job. The only thing we need to make sure of is to route the orcs past the villages unseen then come back around to approach from the foothills on the northeast to make sure it looks right to direct the forces further away from the targets. Did you want this back?."[/color]
