"My employers prefer to work discretely. They have, however, by ways and means found a few companies loyal to the late Baron, and directed them towards Castle Rend. Pelliton has caused... problems for them in the past. That said, I'd definitely recommend you find a few hundred more friends willing to fight on your behalf."<br/><br/>"In terms of army size?" the elf said, seeming to run the numbers in his head. "We know he's got four catapults and a small company of archers, protected by a line of medium infantry maybe a hundred strong. Then he's got maybe two-dozen light cavalry, and fifty gnolls. You can expect them in about a week."<br/><br/>The elf snapped his fingers as if remembering something. "Oh, right, and you'll absolutely have to kill Pelliton. He's very keen to settle the score between you, and he's found some way to get inside the castle. We don't know how, exactly, but we know he got it from Greymatle, and we<em>think</em>Greymantle got it in some deal with a powerful entity. Not sure what, exactly. Dragon? Beholder? Lich? Something along those lines. So... that should be fun!"<br/><br/>
