[X] Action Plan: Respect Their Autonomy
1) Console the dogs and explain the options are to call off the mission and return to Dog or continue to the Conclave.
A) Console them about the losses, but grief can wait since we need to make decisions now.
B) Explain how going to Dog/Conclave both have a risk of further Hyena attacks.
C) The mountains are closer and it ought to be safe once we get there.
D) Hazou recommends going to the Conclave, and once there may be able to more safely return to Dog. Also, the future of the world may depend on it.
E) Let them decide, but play up their goal of seeking the horizon despite the risks and everything that potentially hangs in the balance.
2) Seal up the dead (Dog and Hyena, separately)
3) Ferry all dogs to the Skytower (enlarged for all to be comfortable), return to Human Path, summon all dogs, stay awake until fully healed with only brief returns to the Skytower to sleep when necessary. Noburi for recharge at a planned schedule to return and resummon.
4) Once fully healed, run to the mountains as fast as possible. Don't plan to sleep, the goal is speed. Noburi on standby to evacuate the 7th Path again (waiting in the Clan Head office for the day* this ought to take) if there's a repeat of this ambush.
5) Use prompt and lethal force against any Hyenas that get in the way, no more negotiating, gifts, or hesitation.
6) If they choose to return to Dog then do so by way of the mountains to avoid the Hyena lands until closer to the Dog border.
*200 miles took about three days to travel, that's a pace of about 65mpd, but including sleeping at night and negotiation delays. They have about 100 miles to go to reach safety from the Hyena packs. If they continue at night, even at a slower rate, they should get to the mountains and ostensible safety from the Hyenas in one day.
