It's strongly implied that summoning another soldier would debilitate us for a good while. And also prompt a different story post, at which point we could then try fleeing.
I'm not seeing anything implying it preventing us from walking, which is the only relevant form of debilitation. We were able to run immediately after hitting our summon limit, so while we will probably be slowed a bit by summoning more, it is unlikely to be at all significant given the delay until they give chase, if they are even able to.
Plus what was said earlier about the mage noticing is when we cast it
There's got to be an upwards range limitation on his sensing ability, and it is unlikely to be large.
Looking back over what I proposed, I realised that I forgot to make clear something kind of important:
[]Run away, stopping
Once you exit your escape tunnel to summon what mana soldiers you can, and send them to stand in ambush outside your house. Spend the night at the inn.
If we perform the summons at the exit of the escape tunnel, which is rather distant, it is highly unlikely that the wizard will sense it, and highly unlikely that the extent to which it slows us will be at all problematic.
Meanwhile, it increases the chances of preventing anyone from leaving alive, which in turn stops heat from rising as fast, and knowledge of our defences from getting out further.
Notice that they knew about the scythe trap already.
can you see any problems with that Version of the plan?
