Hi llama

Here is an other approach "nálgunn" to the same matter "máls".

But now have/you discret-lookout of near as they arrive to the town
and report(tell all about) me.

Near: "nálægt(in the vicinity of)" the time they arrive. But before
the arrival to grant time of preparation?

"Er nær dregur til Jóla" come in mind when Christmas are
approaching. Yes "drawing nearer"

Thanks Uoden

"er/sem" like "er/þegar" to avoid redundance???
