I'm keeping this filtered because I think Gebann and Dagda will want to tell the army their own way -- but I can't very well leave without all of you realizing something is going on. So ...
Keran is moving faster than we ever thought possible. A Lahn scout reported him arriving in Orach just a few days ago. The Dentorians only had a skeleton garrison there waiting for us, so you can imagine that Keran had no trouble taking the keep back.
It's not all bad news, though. Keran still doesn't know Eina has mobilized, and we're right on his doorstep. The pegasus knight that escaped from Orach reported that she wasn't seen; it matches what we know about Keran, he would have sent his own knights after her if he knew she was there. So, not only does Keran not know about us, he doesn't know that the Dentorians know that Orach's been taken.
We think he's planning to keep an auxiliary force in Orach to pin the Dentorian army between that force and Sarrca's gates, when the siege begins. Basically, he's trying to do to us what we were planning to do to him.
But if we can take Orach back, without him knowing -- we can still catch him completely offguard. We won't catch him out in the open like we were hoping, but we can still salvage this situation to our advantage.
And that's why Tabea and I are taking the scouts ahead, tonight. We need to know what sort of force Keran left behind him, and if we can feasibly take it back.
We'll be back as soon as we can be.
