ALASTAIR's forces are, what? Fifty, sixty—maybe an optimistic seventy altogether? She remembers the pile of them arriving before Odette's gate. Some faces she hasn't seen in weeks, but that doesn't mean they aren't around. That's all talent and resources going to waste. ]
Twenty? No more, surely, but I want to map the grounds before I make any decision. We'll need people to get us in and out, people to handle the guards, and people to make the search. Riza has accepted to be my second.
[ A guesstimate, so to speak, and at least some reassurance that there's a second set of eyes on this folly.

The last thing they need is more jail time. ]
