Bab 164: Strike

"Tia! What were the herbs you and Loa used on me the other night?" Tia blinks in surprise before saying "It's a common mix for relaxation and sleep." I chuckle and say "Yes, but it packed a wicked punch. I couldn't move or use my powers." 

I take a deep breath before continuing "As much as I would love to flip the tables and attack first, we don't have enough time and I feel like we're going to be outnumbered. Can you make more of those? Like... a lot more?" She slowly nods her head and says "I think so... but I still don't understand how this is going to help." 

Thane chuckles, seeing where I'm going as I say "We will place the bundles all around the passage that leads in and out of the Oasis. The bundles can burn for hours so if we place enough, they will eventually have to walk through the smoke. If they try to wait it out, they'll lose the advantage of attacking during the day. Either way... it will be to our advantage."
