Draiss smiles at Cerulean, and squeezes her hand when the others were not looking, and said "Any idea about how far it is to the keep? When you think we have about a quarter mile or so, let me know, and I will cast prying eyes again, and use then to scout for us."<br/><br/>Once the others let him know, he sends them out for the 'scouting mission' so he can relay what he learned form the 'eyes'.<br/><br/>After the eyes have returned, he relates what his probe learned, and said, "A stealthy attack would knock most of the defenders out, with out the others knowing that someone is attacking, which means that I am going to be pretty darn useless, unless they all decide to gather together. I can do a minor assist to the bad guys, and maybe even silence a few, but for the most part, don't count on me to be able to help much."<br/><br/>There, he thought, that should allow the others to think that I am making them superfluous.
