Cratol listens to the plans and walks over to sit out of sight and off the the side. He mentally prepares himself for the fight that is about to come. He waits for the signal to go in he will follow behind Poljen and Targul. He will protect their sides to keep any from wanting to surround them.
Poljen shakes his head. "The moment you use that magic the rest will be alerted. The smart ones will rush inside, maybe even close the doors. Then they hold blades to the throats of those we came to rescue. Let me walk up casually. No one in an army this size knows everyone else. I will say that Cyanwrath sent me here to tell them to be ready to move out early. I am sure they will at least hold off on attacking until I am close. Then use the magic and I can try to keep them from getting inside." He pauses, then glances at Lia. "A prisoner in my control would help convince them, I'd wager." He looks to Cratol. "Maybe an unarmed man?"
Cratol smiles and uses his staff to hobble toward Poljen like he has been injured and not able to fight. "Lets go" Cratol will start to slowly hobble towards the guards sitting by the fire. He will move slowly causing Poljen to shove him a few times to act the part as another injured village that has been rounded up.
"We still need to be careful, as someone may still recognize us from the battle earlier," Geoffroy offers in consideration of the possibility, wondering how they could get around such. Sure, they could get lucky but they might also have some of their own recognized before saying, "We should perhaps have someone move forward that was not seen by the opposing army at all as important."
Out of Character: As a reminder in regards to Geoffroy's concerns. Targul, Poljen, and Cratol are the most likely among you to be recognized, from their efforts outside the gate this morning. You guys have killed most of the people in a position to recognize the others.
That said, the exposure was brief, so there is a decent chance of someone not recognizing where they've seen them before long enough for it to not matter.
Lia looks thoughtful as Geoffroy speaks. " Geoffroy has a good point. I should have thought of that as well. Poljen, there aren't many 6'6" barbarians running around here. They should easily recognize you. The entire enemy army saw you outside the gates. They saw Targul and Cratol as well. I still think it's a good idea. Someone else should do it though. I'll be a prisoner. Not many have seen me. We need someone to replace Poljen. What does everyone think?"

Poljen shakes his head. "They might not believe whoever tries this. It should be me. My plan, and if it goes wrong, I am the most likely to survive until the rest of you come to help. One prisoner works, and Lia, you are not as dangerous in close without weapons. Cratol, first, let's tear your clothes a bit and scuff some mud on your face. When fighting starts, we make sure none of them get inside where the prisoners are held."
Out of Character: : Unless anyone vociferously disagrees, Poljen will help with mussing Cratol's appearance, then walk behind him. Before they start walking he casually tosses his torch-stone up so he is walking with light (Another way for them to focus on him). He will have his shield on his arm but at his side. His sword is sheathed, and his right hand is holding Cratol's wrists behind the monk's back, so it appears as if his wrists are bound behind him. "Move!" is about all he will say.
Unless the bad guys attack before he gets in close he says loud enough to be heard, "Hey! High and Mighty Cyanwrath sent me to tell you to be ready to move out early. And look what I found along the way." He will shove Cratol towards the men closest to them, and wait for trouble, whether the bad guys are not buying it, or some drop from Fay's Sleep spell, then he will jump into combat. So I will first roll Deception, then Initiative, and a combat set… of course once the fighting begins he Rages…
