Returning to the Friendly Arm Inn, Marvin immediately told Jaheira the information he had obtained.
The Harpers master quickly made a decision. "Today, I also sent people to investigate Blackwood Manor. The two reports confirm each other—your deduction was correct. That place is a nest of mind flayer minions.
"You've done excellently, Mr. Rodhart, and brought us even more precise intelligence. Now that we know the enemy's exact numbers and their specific plan of attack, there is no reason for us to fail!
"Since the enemy intends to launch their attack five days from now, we will make sure they do not get their wish."
Jaheira looked toward a halfling Harper. "Spread the news. Say that Harpers Master Jaheira will activate the teleportation circle three days from now and leave the Friendly Arm Inn."
Jaheira's move directly disrupted the enemy's deployment. If Sudiman did not want to miss his chance, he could only launch the attack early, without obtaining that batch of bulbs.
The enemy's combat strength would be greatly weakened as a result.
Marvin added, "While helping Banlit maintain the golem, I suddenly remembered that there is another force in town that can serve as our reinforcements. We simply overlooked them before."
"Who?"
"Followers of Gond."
There was a large stockpile of weapons in the Lantan Store.
And Midok was also a level-five cleric.
Although Gond had forcibly elevated him and he still needed time to settle into his new power before he could fully unleash his strength, even so, having him stand in the rear and cast divine spells would be a considerable help to the battle.
However, the Lantan people's status on Baldur's Gate territory was somewhat sensitive, and they had always kept a low profile. Thus, they had been overlooked when potential reinforcements were previously counted.
