Lady had to admit, she appeared to have been given a solid team.  All she had to do was merely present her plan, vague though it was to account for the unknowns in this particular situation, and her subordinates, serving well in their place, had used their own abilities to fill in the blanks, giving her some measure of what they were capable of in the process.  Yes, definitely a good team.<br/><br/>Not that she trusted any of the any farther than the (perhaps quite considerable) distance she could throw them, of course.  No, rather, she trusted that the consequences for betraying her on this particular mission would be all the deterrent that was needed to follow along with the plan and make sure that all their objectives had been carried out.  She could be reasonably confident that she had made herself into enough of a valuable asset for her masters that they would be most displeased if she fell permanently into enemy hands, after all, and if she was betrayed and escaped, she knew that she would be taking bloody vengeance upon this entire merry little band, likely with her masters' full backing.<br/><br/>So, yes, she had a good team.<br/><br/>"It would seem we have a plan, then."  She commented, moving over to lean against a nearby tree.  Crossing her arms, she got around to her next set of orders.  "I'll need to stand somewhere around here to command a full view of all three branches on this path, while still standing out myself.  I'll leave your own placement up to each of you individually, since you best know your own capabilities.  Just be sure to take up positions where you can strike equally well at all three paths, and try to have an escape route in mind.  We'll have to be flexible when the actual confrontation comes, and if I call out a retreat, make sure that you actually do retreat.  Am I understood?<br/><br/>"Excellent.  Then, for the time being, let us take up our positions and wait."<br/><br/>And so she did, staying at the position she had selected for herself, adopting a relaxed posture as she waited for the next Purple Dragon patrol to come along.  And when it did, she would step out into the middle of the road, in a nice, attention-grabbing fashion...<br/><br/><br/><br/>It's a good map. ^^ As for Lady's position upon it, she's going to take up a position at 1n, 2e, leaning against that tree to the East of her, and leave her subordinates to choose their own positions.  She'll keep an eye out for approaching travellers, and will make sure to react appropriately when the time comes.
