Taerad Orc-Bane
Taerad sets to work on getting the platoons of the expedition in order for their venture, working with his colleagues and their lieutenants. He expects the first day of travel to have some rough spots and confusions as the many forces get accustomed to working together, and sets that expectation for the members of the party and their lieutenants. The goal is to be a force comfortable with itself and its units within the first 3-5 days of travel.
He proposes the following plan:
Forward Outriders: four platoons of Taerad's veteran horse archers, two each on both the right and left forward arcs
Forward Main Body: four platoons of Arnolt's veteran light cavalry
Main Body: three platoons Taerad's veteran cataphract cavalry
Rear Main Body / Reserve: six platoons Alistair's veteran light cavalry
Flank and Rear Outriders: four platoons of Egil's veteran horse archers, with one platoon on each of the right flank, right rear, left rear, and left flank positions
Taerad will ride at the head of the column, in front of the forward main body, and he invites his comrades to do the same, that they can avoid the road dust kicked up by sixty horses.
Tohopka plans to travel in owl form, with he and his owl companion Gawonii sleeping on the back of Tohopka's horse so that they can be active and watchful throughout the night, with Tohopka able to act as night commander in the event of an attack on the encampment. During the days of travel, the horse will be minded by a groomsman, that the owls can have relative peace and stability while they rest.
Sulldawga, I'm uncertain how to reconcile this last bit with the rules. I'm assuming an owl can sleep even while traveling, though it's likely interrupted sleep. My expectation is that Tohopka will have a difficult time with this plan recovering cast spells, but the idea of him trying to be on a night schedule and the two owls being able to scout and keep watch at night is an intriguing one.
