"Direct line of sight from scout to scout, all the way back to us here. That is how it works."
Elektra briefs her scouts in the Battleporium of the HOR. Her face most stern as she speaks, making eye contact with each of the eight scouts gathered there.
" Stretch out four of you, team one, to the south , in the orclands. .. there is a pathway to the Dagger Hills through there. As soon as undead are spotted, use the light scroll to alert the next scout in line of sight. . and that scout will light one and so on back to us.
The second team, stretch out to the west towards the Beastmen lands, in case they march upon us from the Shadowdale areas.
Because light travels far faster than anything else I know of, we should have early warning that they approach.
In the meantime, we will be preparing here . . . stay at your posts as long as you can but don't any of you get caught . . . I don't want to have to blow your undead body into oblivion . . please. . . "
