Karyl grins as he takes the offered hand and grasps it tightly. "I will be sure to punch the men this time and not the walls." He says jovially.

The hosts link, and the scouts report that the enemy host must have split into forty different bands as they passed into the inhospitable Mountains of the Moon. No army could pass through them in one group without risking ambush and destruction.

Benjen called for Titus and Crowl to meet him so they could decide where to go from there.

Crowl arrives at Prince's tent, he is wearing his usual bear cloak and leather gloves. "Hello, Prince Benjen." He says smiling.

As the meeting is called, the increasing unpredictability and danger of the King Draven has led to the raising of an additional two thousand Valemen, led into the camp by Durand Coldwater, recalled from the border of the Goldlands. He is well known to Prince Benjen, having shown him many of the finer arts of the ambush and raid and scouting in the old days when he had first met the clans in battle.

Ser Titus arrives, looking energetic and fresh off a good nights sleep. He nodded politely to those already present.

"Greetings everyone; Durand, I am honoured by your presence," Benjen said when all had arrived. "As you might be aware, we have a problem. Cass' Keep is no doubt beyond these lands, yet our host would not be able to venture into the lands safely. Furthermore, the enemy army has split into many groups, and tracking each of them would be impossible. Suggestions, please."

"I think we should take our entire force, and stab right for Cass' Keep, We can deal with what ever groups come our way as we find them." Crowl says with a smile, clearly not realizing the many flaws in his plan.

"Hunt down one or two of the main host, capture the leaders, interrogate them, then slit their throats and parade them in front of our army as a warning to the others." Durand's voice is cold. "Repeat the process until someone gives it up."

"We need better information, information that I feel can only be provided by working with the clans that still maintain their independence. Grant them protection in exchange for information, grant them better land and their own sovereignty under the laws of the north and they might be willing to help. You saw those prisoners we took, my Prince. They were equally as terrified of Draven and the Priestess as our own people. Someone has to know something."

Stark nodded. "I did not wish to split our force again, though it may be necessary. How many tribes are there that have not succumbed to Draven's rule yet?"

Durand shrugs. "I just got here. Have we any prisoners to ask?"

"Two clansmen who decided to come with us; a girl and her brother. You may ask them," Benjen stated.

Durand thinks. "Decided? I'm not the most favorable person to interrogate them; I've been told I am 'universally reviled' among the mountain clans. Killed a few thousand, you know."

"Surely you know how to ask a question without the use of force," Benjen said with a chuckle. "Apart from that no prisoners. We'll patrol this area, track any Clan forces and hunt them down."
