You bark out a vile curse – Pronax is discovered. <span class="mu-i">Can I not trust the man to do anything!?</span> you nearly shout aloud. The horn is silenced mid-blast, but too late – if you’ve heard the horn this clearly, you must assume that Archigeiros and the rest of his estates will soon spring into action. You order your honorguard to retrieve the horses with all speed - you may not have time to hide the corpses here like you had planned. You rapidly re-evaluate your options…
>okay /qst/, wat do? Apologies for this - I actually simulated Pronax’s skirmish and it’s pure bad luck that the Tegeans rolled a 1 on their “horn alarm” check immediately. This is a pretty important vote, so I'll provide a full 24-hr window - vote closes at 3pm EST tomorrow.
>Pick up your own horn and send an order to Pronax – continue the raid! He may be able to abscond with at least some of the cattle, fleeing to the east, if not the full thousand he had hoped for. PLEASE NOTE: blowing your own horn will notify the Tegeans of your approximate location.
>Pick up your own horn and send an order to Pronax – flee the estates now! His current position is known – he cannot hope to continue the raid with twenty-five men against hundreds of Tegeans. PLEASE NOTE: blowing your own horn will notify the Tegeans of your approximate location.
>You are not yet discovered! Continue the raid on your end; with Tegean forces streaming east, you should be able to take the western cattle herds – some two thousand cattle are here. You will need to conduct at least one additional ambush, and avoid any Tegeans who may be traveling to Pronax's location besides. Pronax will have to use his best judgment without your command.
>Abandon caution, leap astride Arion, and make for the palace of Archigeiros. If you can approach the palace and set it ablaze, this should cause pandemonium in the estates – this would mark the end of the cattle raid, but provide the maximum opportunity for yourself, Pronax and your honorguard to escape with your identities as Dorians maintained. PLEASE NOTE: If successful, this would be considered an act of war by the Tegeans should Hippomedon's identity be revealed (now or later).
>Something else?
