1-2. As the rest of your team finally hit the sack, you decide to stay up "on patrol" with your captain, a grizzled war veteran from an old war before you were born.
He talks about how "soft" the army has gotten since then, complaining that the rest of your lot is either lackwitz, lazy, or drunks. But not you apparently, since you've intended to be up and active.
His war stories go on through the night, he even makes a few drawings in the dirt, you sort of feel you've learned. . .something! +Weak Tactics

--- Zwilli leads the force ahead, the Prince's warband behind. The Prince's leadership, the handpicking of only capable warriors, and the intelligence gathered by Zwilli paying off.
Stationary guards who won't be missed are incapacitated and hidden, while patrols are bypased entirely. At last the target, a large, singular supply station. Parked by its negligent commanders in a place apt just for the raiders plans.

Virini Alsov is having a pleasant chat with a logistics officer, and it seems he's about to gain access to yet more supplies. Then darkness.
His eyes open again, his head HURTS, as he see's figures moving about in the dark. As he gains consciousness he see's next to him the logistics officer and several other soldiers, some dead and some tied up and writhing.
But the supplies! figures cloaked in black are are pulling out barrels of food and meat, boxes of medical supplies, sacks of grain, weapons. Some load them up on horses which are quietly carried away. He even see's an entire wagon slowly, gently lumbering off.
Thieves! Oh thank the gods this was not your wagon. You can only watch and count the value of hundreds or thousands of rupee's worth of things being taken.
>You have been gagged and bound!
Strangely, he notices another figure, much shorter than the rest and a little less...curvy? Laying several small and round things. Your merchanter sense recognizes them instantly. Those are bombs.

2. The ship moves silently up river through the night, only the occasional grunting of a sailor on the riverbank towing it up. Up in the gorge, the dark figures of gerudo scouts look down and on the horizon, no doubt there are more than cannot be seen.
The night is dark, clouds obscuring the moonlight and stars. And Captain Blackheart is utterly bored. So, he practices his swordsmanship, pulling out a cutlass and swinging it through the air.
Not as good as actually practicing against a live target, but the muscle memory is useful. He dreams and remembers some of his battles of old, parrying strike after strike before delivering an incapacitating blow, severing tendons, slicing through the eyes, or cutting off and arm or a limb if need be. Maimed, but still alive, with something to remember this was the fight they almost caught Captain Blackheart.
1/4 Good Swordsman
2. His training is interuppted by a thud, as he looks up to see not only have we reached the bridge but it would seem sacks, boxes, and a great number of other things are being hastily lowered by rope down onto his ship!
He goes to see just what they are, and looks closely at a box. The Hyrule Symbol!
So this was the boy prince's plan all along. . .Blackheart had better get a good share out of this!

From a young age, Noboru stood out among her sisters. Taller, stronger, she promised to grow into a mighty warrior, though not exactly fast. An impressive sight to behold to any who stood in her way, most Hylian's never imagined to be looked down by a standing Gerudo. She was proud of her strength. Pride comes before the fall.
Before she was old enough to pass her rites of passage to becoming a true warrior, she was waylaid by a gang of Hylian sellswords and mercenaries, who took her for their prize. For a slave. For nine grueling years they humiliated her in their hideout, mocked her strength through hard labor and did cruel deeds and whatever they wished upon their bound captive by light and by night. When Noboru's tears dried up, they turned into anger which boiled in her heart, as she waited. Waited for the right time. For them to slip up.
And one day they did. She broke free of her bonds, and a decade of pent up rage fell upon the brigands like the wrath of the gods.
When she returned, although her sisters welcomed her back and were proud that she had escaped, she was told she could never become a true Gerudo warrior. She had missed the rites, and the time was forever past.
No matter. With blood drenched armor stolen from the people who stole her life from her, Noburu is determined to never again let the Hylian's do what they did. Not for her. Not for any of her sisters.

1. Meiloru always gets her way. Whether her sisters hate her discreetly or openly, she knows exactly the right words to say to intimidate or bribe or convince them she's in the right. In this case, a bow and arrow is easily accosted.
But she shouldn't press her luck. +Common Gerudo Shortbow +Common Quill
2. Meiloru arrives at the bridge, where she see's a scene unfolding. On the river bank lie warriors in hiding, while the river itself is a curious scene of wagons and supplies slowly being lowered onto a ship.
She didn't get the message, but even from a distance her eyes and deducation recognize instantly what's going on. Those boxes are not of Gerudo wood, nor did the Gerudo use covered wagons, therefor this must be enemy supplies stolen from the camp. The Bridge is being defended as an escape route for what is a raiding party on the otherside attempting sabotuer. The ship below the river gorge ought to be hired privateers perhaps.
Impressive planning on the Prince to have carried it out. hmm, and it would seem that convicted thief Zwilli had a hand to play in this.
Suddenly a Gerudo Commander angrily speaks to her in a low but firm voice.
"Are you going to be useful or not? Don't just stand there."

You have one makeup turn.
1-2. You consider heading toward Supply Camp, but then consider what do these puny Hylians know of true quality wood or steel. You go into the forest and rip several tree's off the ground by their roots. You then decide not to head off to a nearby cave, where guaging by the rock formations on the wall, you have strong suspicion there may be metal ores in there.
A good smash on the rockwall by your hand reveals your suspicions true, as you start gathering metal ores from the cave.
