Sokka considers that for a moment before looking at the map one last time. "Ideally, no. Ideally it'd be fantastic for us all to get to the stone without any of the Creep Lord's goons ever knowing it was there. And if we can all make it safe and sound, that's the best plan of all. But here's the thing," he says, casually moving round to the marker for the stone. "If this little stone thing is so important, would he dare trust his cultists with the knowledge? Could the Creep Lord truly know if every single one of them was trustworthy to the highest extent? I... don't think he'd take that chance.

"I'd bet only a handful at worst, none at best, of them know about this stone and where it is. If we're planning for his goons to intercept us on the way there and stop us from reaching the room with the stone, then that means the room should be relatively unguarded. Which means... the only thing that matters is that any of us get there. If we're outnumbered and we're on the run, we'd best do whatever we can to reach the goal at all. And the best way of doing that... is to make it hard to track all of us."

He leans over the diorama, pausing as he looks back at Ryou and everyone else who's listening. "Though, I can't say I really have had any experience with the Creep Lord himself before now. Admittedly, I am guessing just a little bit on this one."
