Sounds reasonable.
So the plan is 1) Take a look at where the attacks have been and see if there's a pattern, such as is each subsequent attack east of the previous, do they move in succession or skip every other building, are they taking only certain things like grabbing the salt meat while leaving the pickled eggs or just ransacking pell mell. 2) See if we can determine if the marauders always come from the same direction or if they vary their direction of attack. 3) Make sure we're well-provisioned with a good supply of torches, a tinder box to light the torches, make sure Castor finds plenty of good stones for slinging, rope, some string, chalk or charcoal stick, a bell, etc. (I'm assuming that Castor and Mighter already have much of these things as well as weapons and armor, if not, time to go shopping on credit.) 4) Have a good meal and take a nap to rest up for tonight.
