Xarces would be quite surprised at how adamantly Jules seemed to take to the smoke idea, as he was certain both he and the lizardfolk had mentioned how it would alert the entire camp and likely cause them to descend upon the party.....(It may put a few of them to sleep sure.....but the others will be upon us in no time. I guess if nothing else, it shall allow them to sleep soundly as they digest their meals.....) he thinks with a light chuckle. "If we are truly intent on using the fire trick, I can sneak well enough, not as well as Alizome mind you, but better then most. That being said, a simple spark spell should be able to light said fires easily, and at range I might add.....perhaps Alizome could place them and I can light them......but I really think we ought to look into other options first. I had mentioned drugging the mules or the spices with the mules. As removing the blackscales from the temple would benefit the Strongvine tribe, they may even be willing to deliver the animals themselves claiming to have stolen them from some warmblooded travelers they scared off. As ravenous as the blackscales sound they would certainly devour them, and with the right addition into the animals, spices, or both, they would become incapacitated, ill, or even dead. Crippling some of our opposition before we even move in. Meanwhile we can rest up, and otherwise prepare for when we actually move in. Of course we can add the smoke when we finally do if you all wish it."<br/><br/>Afterwords he looks to Alizome "I agree that scouting out their encampment would be to our benefit as well." with that he follows her final sentence and searches the group to see what gunthar was up to.
