I presume that the Swordsman currently East of Boaring Wallow will be used for dealing with this menace? (Preferably before it loots half our wheat supplies)
Given that the Barbarians seem to have acquired swords is it worth considering posting the warriors (warrior4 and russian spy) to both the hills where this barabarian swordsman currently is and possibly the forest 5N of Abydos? This would prevent the local rabble from forming into such barbarian bands near our lightly defended capital and Micalian's Gate.
Toot Uncommon should probably be garrisoned with an axe in the near future as well given that it could possibly see barbarian swordsman arriving on its eastern border at any time.
