"The most obvious...and stupid...plan is to go straight to the main camp and slay the orc king. Orcs are notorious for infighting, and without any unifying figure to keep them in line, the army will fall apart. A more intelligent plan would be to head towards the main army, but do so systematically." He knelt and began to draw a diagram in the dust. "We move forward, creating a base out of every town we pass." He drew circles in a proceeding line from left to right. "We train the townspeople to defend themselves, and help them fortify their towns." He drew an X through the left most circle, then continued on to the other circles. "The orcs will be moving towards us." He drew an arrow coming from the right, going right next to the circles. "They'll encounter the towns we fortify. With their incessant need to pillage and destroy, they'll attack. We stay at the town and help them defend until the last possible moment, then retreat with as many townspeople as we can to the next town. This way, we draw the orcs along, and wear down their attack force. With each town they destroy, the next town will be better off, because when we fall back, we'll be bringing more supplies and troops. The longer we hold them off at one town, the longer the others have to prepare, and the easier they'll be defended." He drew an arrow from the left most circle going to the left. "We'll send a messenger to the castle with our plans. We'll have them raise an army, and come to support us as soon as possible. Any questions?"
