Maerath ponders what everyone is saying a moment, particularly Lenora's last comment. "So what do we do with the next great creature that comes through the doorway then? I agree that the further we go the harder they will get, but after what just happened here I think we should come up with a plan. Before Garrott and I charged into battle I feared if it would be best or not. I gained strength from seeing Garrott charge with me, as I realized the importance of what we were doing even though it was done with a possible great risk.
"Do not get me wrong, had this been a room full of Gnashers I don't think we would have done the same thing, unless there was no other way to sneak by them and we had to run. My personal thought is that we take the advantage. We have creatures lurking in the shadows, waiting to sneak up on weary adventurers like ourselves. There may even be creatures that have a thread attached to this place that know we're here. Shouldn't we turn the tables then? Shouldn't we be the ones lurking in the shadows waiting to strike the creatures that are part of the taint of Barsaive? I sure as hell am not going to let them have the advantage.
"I suggest that we come up with something now, and consider everyone's ideas. The last thing I'm sure we all want is to have us be caught like we were without a plan, having two of us charge in. I'm sure had things turned ugly Garrott and I would have had to leave with the guilt and criticism. To avoid that, we need to discuss what we do as we explore the rest of this Kaer. But in doing so, let us not come up with an idea that sneaks us past every creature we see. Who knows if we were to fight some great beast or Horror in the depths and have to carry our wounded out of the Kaer? What if in killing that creature it let's everyone else that's still alive know that we're here? Then we most certainly would not have an advantage anymore. Anyway, something for you all to consider." He takes a seat and begins to clean his sword.

Lenora looks around after the battle, quiet at first then obviously growing more and more enthusiastic. Finally she gives one little happy jump and grins from ear to ear. "YES! I made it through a combat without recieving a heinous wound!" When she realizes that the others are looking at her oddly she composes herself, sweeping her hair over her shoulder as if that one graceful move will retract any stupidity she exhibited a moment before. "So.. Umm.. What next?"
<<"Someone with a blade dismember those ghouls and cyclopians...I do not wish
to find out that the Horror here has used the remains again when we return this way.">>
Lenora wrinkles her nose. "Gross Garrott! I would have figured Pean would be the one to play with dead things, not you. Umm.. No offense Pean. Not that you exactly play with dead things just.. You know what I mean."
Then Pean goes into his lengthy explaination accusing Todiel of being some sort of body swapping horror. Lenora's mouth forms a quiet O as she looks from Pean to Todiel to Temorya.
"Now wait just one moment Pean. Didn't we go through this once before over Maereth in the jail? You have a nasty habit of accusing your party members of terrible atrocities before you finish collaborating your stories."
"Yes, there are massive clues that say that something is amiss. And I completely understand your need for theatrical timing. But shouldn't these little personal inquisitions of yours take place when we're not in the middle of potentially dangerous situations such as now."
"Not that I don't adore arguing with you or anything, but the next great creature that comes popping through the doorway might not be such an easy kill. And looking organized and competent is the key to frightening monsters rather then letting them sneak up on us and shouting boo."
