No.

You are very concerned. Instead of taking your bait, the newcomers have instead continued to run down leads on your agents within the city. They have even traced rumors of your existence back to some of them. Fortunately, due to some quick reorganizing on your part, they never encountered your men face to face. Whoever these newcomers are, they are good.

According to Kyra, during one of the many parties she is **** to attend, she met a mage named Catherine, who, as she discovered through gentle probing, may be sympathetic to your cause. She has since kept up an acquaintance with her, during subsequent events. You doubt the usefulness of recruitment right now, but Catherine may be of use to you in the future.

Lysander has managed to get you the arrival date of the next **** shipment, and despite your dire circumstances, you do still plan to hit it. Doing so is a risk, but on you have taken steps to mediate. In order to ensure your survival if someone ambushes you, you will be attacking the next shipment with all of your wolves. Forty men is a significant ****, and the people of Arlheim have only ever heard of the bear-man working alone or in a small team, so it would be foolish of them to commit a large **** to destroying him.

If the newcomers have something planned for you, you may have to advance your timetable, throwing caution to the wind and attacking the city early. For now, however, you will wait.

You gather your wolves, donning your mail and cloak, ready to strike at the slavers once again.
