"I had intended to seek clarification myself, given the nature of the involvement we will require from either a coalition of nobles' troops or the Naval Service. My hope was that the Naval Service would broker terms with the nobles, or outright declare martial law if necessary, and we could mount a full-scale campaign.
I don't doubt Rolin's heart and mind are in the right place, but I don't know enough of the man to gauge his experience in warfare. I only know him as a builder, craftsman. He spoke of co-ordination and precision in attack and I suspect that we are not in a place where we can achieve such cohesion in time for the attack, given the overwhelming numbers we face. I was unable to receive any details of the plans laid to make heads or tails of it myself.
I also thought appointing me one of the Captains was not a good idea, but he trusts his own judgement in this and obviously the nobility trust in his planning."
