[Kal may not get magic, so he's happy to delegate to others. But he does know some about being attacked and ambushed and he hums to himself as he looks at the woods.]

I just wish we knew more about the woods. After all the warnings, after we know something's coming it just feels like a wrong idea to be walking into enemy territory. Though it also looks like our only sensible option.

Perhaps some of the magically inclined people could create some sort of barrier to hide or protect us.
