Ling is the best leader Brigid will ever meet, so the idea is plausible. But she believes the goodness is inherent to who Brigid is. 

Seems as though she's got it all worked out. Brigid won't argue.

Best she not. 

Yes, ma'am.

Good girl. 

It's at least quiet that night, no wild animals or enemy action.

Puts them in a good position for the morning. 

She wants to gather more information... But she also wants to move against the Lich King before he can pivot fully against her. 

Icecrown is strong... but still under construction in parts. Designed to resist siege by armies, not infiltration.

And infiltration is something Ling is very good at. 

That'll be helpful. Brigid can go over the defenses and terrain. Mountains through here, walls like, towers at intervals...

A good overview - and Ling asks increasingly specific questions about a few key spots that catch her attention. 

They can cook together a reasonable plan, then.

Their choices boil down to two main options for direct infiltration, more or less. Go north and use the southern Storm Peaks as cover to approach before taking the last two or three days overland to where they can pick up some of the saronite mines to get them under the walls. Or west across the Dragonwastes to the Wintergrasp plateau, scale the mountains girding Icecrown's rear and drop in from the top.

Ling would be proficient at either, though is more comfortable above ground - but it depends on the strength and nature of defenses at either approach.

The former option will likely be more heavily guarded, with the latter she expects all of the fighting would be against the terrain.

Ling is fine with challenging terrain. 

Wintergrasp it is, then. They'll need to accumulate provisions for Ling before setting out.

Alkahestry is helpful with that. 

It is?

Not all provisions - it isn't very useful for food specifically, though she can use it to preserve things - but it'll simplify gear and clean water directly, and can simplify things like 'acquiring currency.'

There won't be places to buy things with money.

They'll forage and hunt, then, and Ling will preserve the food. 

It takes them about a day to gather up enough, helped by their respective skills and the fact that Brigid herself requires no food.

Very helpful, that. She's not used to moving so quickly at this phase. 

She takes more time to prepare?
