Tarvos nodded, and let out a small controlled sigh of relief. This Kurokuma was going to be a challenge. And a bit of fun as well. Tarvos felt the familiar rush of being in a potentially dangerous situation flow through him, and he followed Kurokuma inside the cave. He noticed the multiple candles set up along the walls, providing light for people to see, lighting up a table in the centre of the room, which Kurokuma was kneeling in front of. Tarvos joined him, pulling out another map, similar to the one Sable had.

"Alright, so here's the two locations, Otfeld and Whiteshore. Whiteshore is where the ferry is now, and where the prisoners are probably going to go. Before that, they will be toured through the other villages like trophies. What I recommend is catching them in Otfeld, releasing these guys, and then moving forth to Whiteshore."

Tarvos leaned back slightly. "I'm not a fighting man, nor did I have the biggest roles in assisting with planning campaigns. But, I do know a few people in Otfeld from my time finding information about you, and they would be willing to help. Especially when you come swooping in to save the prisoners."

"I'm also going to ask one thing. If we intercept at Otfeld, leave me behind, along with a few of your men. I know the prisoners. Let me work at them for a few days, and I can get them on your side. Plus, they both owe me a favor, so it shouldn't be too difficult. From there, it's just Whiteshore and then making a statement. Knowing the ruling noble of this area, the best signal would be sending the cart back, with the guards locked inside. Those horses can find their way home. What do you think?"

Noticing the glance from Kurokuma, "These are, of course, just suggestions. Take them or leave them, your choice. Just, it's what I'd do."
