[pnpgm] Disagree with Will and Z'Leyra

"I do not propose killing each and every nest, only watching for those that will 
stop us.  Like at the bridge.  Mostly we're fine, but at bottlenecks a little 
planning goes a long way.  The split is only for a short time, say two or three 
hours.  We send two or three people ahead, then the main group crosses and the 
scouts watch for possible hunters.  If they see hunters or activity then we act, 
if not we keep moving fast.  I agree with you, we should drive a dagger into the 
heart of this anti-magic nonsense, but we don't have the means or time." as Kell 
scowls.

"A telepathic link would set off the alarms, so no.  The scouts are completely 
magic free, so they make it through the bottleneck.  Whilst the rest of us in 
the wagon group cross with all the danger.  Our groups should be apart for only 
hours at most, and only at select points."

Will nods his head thinking about Kell's words:
 "I like the idea of turning the tables on them but that would mean a lot of 
time & energy spent destroying these nests of vermin along the way and may slow 
us down it dealing with the greater threat.  Also as much as I despise and pity 
these bounty hunters I would rather plunge a dagger in the  imperial  heart of 
these anti magic secret societies (Will seams quite worked up about this).  I 
still say lose the wagon lose the wench move fast strike hard"

OOC: 
There is also some risk with dividing up especially if the group behind us 
manage to track us down.  Dividing into two groups implies that one is ahead and 
one behind that would make the one behind more vulnerable to the bounty hunters 
following us.   That may be less likely if they do not have another portable 
magic detector but it is also more likely the slower we move.  


They may not be a cohesive unit but I am less sure of that since they use an 
imperial provided magic detector there may be more cooperation and direction 
from above than I at first thought.   

I was also thinking that we should wait to get our magical gear until we find 
the big Vong base.  The advantage of doing it earlier is that it allows more 
time to recoup the manna used as for me at least the trip back will use quite a 
bit of what I have available.
