This thread is a role playing thread. As a member of the inner circle of The Pact, you have been invited to study the current situation of the war against enemies of Kryta (and beyond) and give recommendations to Marshal Trahearne, the current leader of The Pact. All players are invited to join in.
This thread will involve a series of discussion and feedbacks on recommendations from the players. You are in the War Room with Marshal Trahearne and other commanders, so speak your mind. 
Before we begin, I recommend that you watch this 1h30m video on the Art of War, to get a better understanding of military tactics.
I will begin with the first recommendation. It is against Scarlet.
1) Convince Mai Trin to become a double agent.
Objective: Get more intelligence on Scarlet and her forces.
Detail: Before we can do anything, we need more information on Scarlet. Else we will be fighting in darkness. And the fastest way to get that right now is from Mai Trin. She is refusing to talk right now probably because she thinks Scarlet is going to win.
Actions required:
-Research on the background of Mai Trin. Understand where she came from. Find out what will break her and make her snap. Everyone have a weakness and soft spot. She might be related to First Mate Horrik somehow, seeing how her defeat frenzies Horrik. A female of Cantha background linked with a Norn. This is an interesting hint.
-Convince Mai Trin that The Pact is going to win. Mai Trin is in prison and knows very little about the outside world. A few well placed lies and deception should do the trick.
-Give Mai Trin a royal pardon if she cooperates.
-Once she does cooperate, find out what she knows about Scarlet. Then plan a “fake” prison break for her to allow her to escape.
-We will plan our next move after more intelligence.
