"Introductions? All right then. I am Ling the Silver Vial, or just Ling if you're not big on titles." Ling sketched a short bow towards the Commander and Master Smith in equal measure. "Born of the Dragon Empire, I am an Alchemist, though not much of a Nightshade. Though that's probably for the best... I digress. If you're expecting trouble, I'll favour a combative role where I can fight from range. Kei does the talking in a fight, whether through bolts or catapulted vials." She lightly tapped the stock of her crossbow as she spoke.

"I've also packed my gear for providing potions and poisons as needed, though I only have a few of each on hand right now... will need to mix up some more later. Anyway, sorry. Rambling again."
