Dolosus turned and eyed Tylina up and down. Then he nodded.
"Go over to the weapon pile and, if you're a good shot, a crossbow and twenty bolts, or just get a sword and a shield and jump into the fray with us." He turned around suddenly. "Jallas! You hang back and use your bow. Choose your shots carefully and aim for whoever seems to be giving orders. We can stop the raid quickly if we decapitate it. Alyssa, Jamas! Each of you, pick up a shield in case of a ranged attack. They're probably going to have archers with burning arrows. Jallas! I'm going to be hanging back with you when they first crest the dunes with a crossbow and five bolts. I'll shoot at their bulk. I'll be on the east side of the tent in case they flank us, you'll be immediately outside of the tent entrance. Alyssa, Jamas, you'll be with me. Are we clear?"
Dolosus took a deep breath and picked up a crossbow and a shield. He slung the shield behind his back, and placed the bolt quiver at his hip next to his dagger.
"God be with us."
