but now I'm convinced that you're high. The Warder cabal is the hardest cabal to raid with the possible exception of the village. The village is hard because you cannot word while inside and the destructor is mean. The Grove is hard because you never have any idea who will be there to defend (not true for the village), there is almost always somebody with healing power to defend (not true for the village), you can call beasts to help you (not true for the village), and the bear is MEAN.

Moreover, just because you know you're the lone warder does not mean the rest of the world knows you're the lone Warder. As much as you all sit in chameleon it's hard to tell who's coming and going. I raided/retrieved numerous times with even odds. I got promoted for raiding and successfully retrieving the Codex with three Warders against me.

You say that at most you all would send 2 to 4. Of course, that's both false and misleading. It's false because quite often I had to defend against groups of 8 that included at least 2 Warders. True, maybe the Grove only sent 2 of its 15, but the raiding party was still 8 men strong. It's misleading because even if it was just 4 Warders raiding you also had 2 treants and 2 COWs. For the greatest portion of my life those treants and COWs couldn't be slept. If you don't think treants and COWs make for a difficult force you're not only high, you're feeble minded.
