And would you split your forces to cover more terrain and accomplish more before the winter comes? If you decide to go straight towards the bandit camp, you might be able to cut the head off the snake, but then you would be in the middle of Strahnbrad Hills without a secure path back to Tarren Mill. Could it be more worth it to clear your rear areas first and then deal with the bandit camp, or would that give them too much time to call up reinforcements?

Invasion plan, vote for one or vote for two if you support splitting up your forces:
>You will clear the smaller bandit groups first to prevent them from joining up with the bandit camp. Make sure that no bandits end up threatening your supply carts and rearguard.>Reaching and clearing a way to Stonedon should be accomplished first. That way you have a safe haven in the middle of Strahnbrad Hills.>Both border areas to Sofera’s Naze and Tarren Mill must be cleared first to be sure that your people aren’t in immediate danger. This also allows you to go back to Dawnholme without taking a detour to Tarren Mill.>Destroying the bandit camp first removes the largest singular threat in Strahnbrad Hills against you.Splitting your forces:
