thinkinghurts42 ((wow, based on that speech the men'll be suprised to realize that Eira is female)) Anyway Eira, still needing to speak with Sursqueek, searches for him in order to prepare for the meeting later that morning. Based on her limited knowledge of him, will try to find any locations which he may find useful for research (in this case I guess it would be a tent with maps, almanacs, and info on the enemy), or alchemy... Unsure if Search is necessary, if not, disregard roll. 11+1=12 If found, She will ask Sursqueek to clean himself up, and prepare for a meeting with the troops, stating that we will be announcing ourselves formally in the near future. You find a room of discarded things, much of which has had the statement "we'll never use this, but we cannot just throw it out," said over it. It is perfect.

Sursqueek continues rummaging throughout the night looking for a map of the area, preferably an accurate one, elf-made would be best provided it isn't false intelligence. In his brief lapses into sleep, which he doesn't resist very much.As the horizon begins to kindle he has a little trouble determining how much of the unnervingly horrific visions that plagued him were real as he begins to check any geographic information he finds against the surrounding area, making modifications as necessary.
He keeps an eye out for the other two generals, being careful to avoid contact. As he fiddles with the hilt of his rusted blade he thinks of how little they actually understand of some of the worlds eldritch machinations...
((Take 20 on hide/move silently check until he is done with his scouting 25/24 total
Knowledge geography 1+16=17
well, um I suppose he'll have to try again later...unless you can't fail a knowledge check in which case he'll be all set...))

Eira will search the tent to see if it looks like Sursqueek had been there... Afterward she will go outside and ask a few of the men if they had seen anyone fitting his description nearby)
Search: 4+4=8
Gather information: 17+0=17

Guess Eira is gonna head over to the Junky tent and Find Sursqueek then.
Once she locates Sursqueek, She'll say,"Good to see you this morning. It took me a bit of searching to find you. I'm unsure as to whether you've heard, but we're to have a meeting in a short while, where we will announce ourselves as the new generals. Please clean yourself up as much as you see fit, then meet us over by the Command tent. The various flags next to it should be fairly hard to miss if you haven't already found it earlier."

Content with the rumors he has spread about Eira, Thanatos walks around the camp, pondering what he will do next. "I will make a group of assassians and spies, they will be my tools, they will be Scions of discord" the words echoing in his mind, "Scions of Discord, My own personal thieves and assassians" he mumured allowed. Thanatos begins to pace back and forth, obsessing over his plan, modifying it, thinking over it, adding and subtracting things, fool proofing it, and thinking of the possibilities, the endless possibilities. (hmmm if theres a check involved id guess its intellegence or wisdom so roll plus 0)

With slightly wet feet from his morning trek, Sursqueek lifts the folds of the "junky" tent and ducks out of sight to it's interior to continue research, starting with a slight jump as Eira enters the tent.
"My apologies madam, truly your forgiveness I implore, for I didn't expect company so soon in the day and would have made myself a bit more tidy, strange creatures are about of late and wander my dreams, and worse sometimes forget to leave when I wake...but that is of little importance, I shall not be attending your meeting with Thanatos as one general should be quite sufficient for this quantity, and two is, well borderline superfluous, however if I could get the proper materials I might be able to make certain that our troops are...well outfitted with maybe a vial or two of something...unhealthy. Though making such a large quantity will be rather tough with some assistance no problems should occur and of course these additional armaments could be extended to yourself and Thanatos as well, after all one can never have too many explosives. I shall thank you for your concern for my familiarity with the troops, but I believe my lineage might cause a few problems there," motioning to his face as he says this, " Beastmen aren't we'll known for their civility, or intelligence. However I believe that if you could find a few alchemists among the troops I'll get to work straight away at making a field facility for special weapons."
"Say, lets talk with Thanatos about this over breakfast shall we?"

Relieved to have understood everything Sursqueek has said this early in the morning, Eira responds, "Hmm, I do see how you're physical characteristics could be a bit unnerving to some of the men, and breakfast does sound nice, as I have yet to eat this morning.
I'll tell you what, I will ask for anyone with alchemical knowledge to remain after the meeting. But I feel you should determine which will be useful for your plan. I may have some knowledge of alchemy, but you have just recently done in one night that which would likely have taken me two or more, so, though they may be a bit surprised to meet one as yourself as their leader, I feel that you will be better suited for the roll of selecting men for this division of yours. This is my view at least, you may ask Thanatos his opinion if you wish, assuming we can locate him for breakfast.

Sursqueek pauses and ponders for a moment.
"Then I shall attend the meeting and speak if I must, but for the most part you are starring the show and speaking the lines, whilst Thanatos and I support you off stage, be it as bouncers or supporting cast...now let us find the good lord of lightless warfare and go to the cook to see how and what we shall be eating this fine morning, if we are eating at all as it seems to me that we might not have the greatest amount of food left after the men are done, it is only fair that they eat first, given they will possibly be dying under our orders, though I'm sure none of them actually plan on it as that would be a most depressing circumstance, like a lamb to the slaughter punctured and roasted by the angry retorts of the green forest leaves, I sometimes wonder if such madness and slaughter can be brought on only by the whims and will of fools, if perhaps there isn't some madder grander scale on which everything is cold and calculated, frozen in place by ridged laws of destiny comprehended only by those to ill to ever have peace of mind, those that understand the existence of things and creatures that shouldn't in any sane mind come out from dreams and nightmares...but then it WOULD possibly be more merciful to kill them if they were truly so mad, no?"
As he walks , and talks, he looks and listens for signs of Thanatos, or better yet, Thanatos himself.
((search take 20+4=24))

That's an interesting view... It seems that depending on your philosophies, the gods themselves could be considered those whom have planned and calculated our very lives, as well as the deaths of ourselves and those around us. Personally, I prefer the view that we are all masters of our own destiny, and that no matter how well thought out a plan, one may alter the outcome to their benefit with the right amount of luck, and skill...
Also, you don't have to be at the meeting if you truly wish, but the men will meet you one way or another over time. If you truly wish, you could wait for the meeting to end, and I could bring those with alchemical knowledge to you, but you would still have to sort through them yourself...

((search take 20+4=24)) Given that the soldiers are sluggish and slow to start, and Thanatos is one of the only active ones, the locating of him is easy after about five minutes of looking, almost bumping into him from around a tent.
