After about an hour, she comes across their camp. They have three sets of lookouts, two per set, spaced enevly about the perimeter. There are a dozen men sitting inside the camp, some of which are apparantly guarding a prisoner of some sort, who appears to be oblivious to his surroundings. No one fitting the description of Ixnaphior is to be seen in the camp. The size of the camp indicates that this is the whole group. Suddenly, a group of 6 men get up, arm themselves, and head off into the woods. A few random words caught tells Ryn that they are scouting the nearby area, and will be gone for about 3 hours. Quickly, she decides to return, figuring that one hour back to the others, and a second back leaves one hour to fight the reduced force before it returns. She heads back quickly and informs the others. They quickly agree that this is the time to strike. They head towards the encampment, totally secure in the element of surprise that they will have.
