Metosi was glad that Shinon shared his own sentiments, with a similar gleam of ambition in his eye. The dark elf wanted the reputation taking down the renegade necromancer would bring, but even more so, any magical items the man might possess! Metosi's fingers twitched slightly at the thought, not caring one whit about the gold that might also be hidden in a mage's hoard. No, he wanted a tome, a staff, soul gems, enchanted jewelry, anything that might further his already prodigious arcane gifts and would help finish this job all the quicker. And with Ka-Vara so unwilling to continue, Metosi was confident he would have first claim of any loot they did chance upon, seeing as exploring the tower had been his own suggestion! Taking a moment before he responded to his companions, Metosi chanted a long series of incantations, faintly glowing from the extra power the rolling language afforded him. 

"Even incompetent fools can kill by chance, Ka-Vara. What if a traveling Argonian chanced upon this tower and had the same idea as we did? Could you say that you wouldn't be revolted that some necromancer defiled their corpse? I wish to continue, as does our wily friend here. What say you?" Metosi had been walking as he said all this, reaching the foot of the stairs as he asked Ka-Vara what he wished to do. One hand on a post to push back in case of a sudden attack, Metosi warily looked up to the top of the stairs.
