[Jason had already been told about the lanterns. It certainly added a new challenge to overcome, but that just meant they'd have to get creative, right? It was like having a new vital organ to protect.
He shakes his head as Kol describes the problem at hand with training and he speaks up again. Apparently he can't avoid it after all.]
I might have an idea we could try that addresses most of those: capture the flag. Two teams in the woods at night having to defend themselves while also accomplishing the goal of locating and taking the other team's flag.
[He holds up his hands. He's not used to speaking to so many adults and he's afraid it will be written off as a joke, so he elaborates.]
I know it may sound ridiculous since it's a game, but I've seen that as an exercise to be very effective in training. The fact that you don't know where the other flag is would force us to navigate the forest in the dark. It creates the need to work together to accomplish a common goal and all the elements you would encounter in a combat situation: strategy, adaptability, and just all around combat.
