[HQ Ignorance] Scene 55: The Damned Dam Breakers!

Exhausted, Icthya merely nods at the satyr's suggestions, just about
managing to squeeze a smile out at the end. "Yes, if your brother can
do anything about the mercenaries, that'll help. I would still like to
try an distract their centre, if that is at all possible. But Azhur
needn't know about that."

OOC:
Okay, I kinda imagine that the Aldryami can do what is possible to
keep this left flank busy and have leaders of sufficient stripes that
Icthya isn't required.

If so (?), I'd quite like to send her toward the centre, with her
sidekicks, to create a bit more confusion. Are there any spare elven
skirmishers?

Presumably, there are some dead wizards and/or vampires whose clothing
she could take?

And...the River Deu is presumably normalish now?
