Sir Thoroncir listens carefully to the intelligence gathered by Folca, and agrees that burning the city is out of the question (although a few small fires could draw off some defenders and then be relatively easily extinguished once we capture the city). A coordinated, simultaneous attack on one or more of the gates, as well as sailing into the harbor with our smaller galleys laden with troops, just might overwhelm their limited defenses.
While Gil-Gandel and the others discuss this, he will ride back towards the city to ensure that Aestirion and his men continue to press their attack on the enemy troops fleeing towards it. The fewer of our foes that reach the city, the better.
