@BoneyM, since you seem to use TT mechanics to resolve (mass) combat now, how would our rune of spite look in that? Strength doesn't seem to be a linear scale, so "return twofold" is unlikely to be a S*2 hit (that would return a greatswordsman's hit with dragon+ strength). Is it something like S+2 hit, or just two hits with attacker's own strength?
@BoneyM How much is time a concern? Would deviating to Thunder Mountain delay us enough that scouting the port wouldn't be possible anymore?
