"Long since 'abandoned' I see then." The man said, idly observing Jaegar's puffing then motioning with the aged pipe.

One subtle gesture later, he guided his companion forward to act as a fearsome living wall, being keen to follow just behind in footsteps at first. Once the motion was underway, he proved to slow and see to who would be next in the order underway. If anyone he would prefer Jaegar, given the man might know a thing or too beyond what he had been willing to share, but the "thief" of Kerris would do just as well. His almost ferine eyes under his hood looked to them both questioningly.

"I appreciate your insight, Jaegar." He added, giving only the faintest of smiles with his words, "Before it eludes me, I am the man known as [i]Geraint[/i]."

It was not what he had hoped for, but there was nothing that could be done about that. If even the local men and women were unsure of what dangers lay here, it was time to err further on caution. The wisest of actions would not be to blindly storm what appeared to be a labyrinthine structure of decaying rubble; no, the likelihood whoever called this "home" was prepared for that. Perhaps more than ready for mundane soldiers and at best an accompanying cleric, not a small group.

"I am no able fighter with my dagger, unlike as you two appear to be, but I will be guiding our friend. I would prefer not to be so close if possible... that and I have not the faintest what trickery men might be partial to - that's assuming we are even hunting men."

"There are a few other talents I possess, but let us hope we needn't make use of those." The outsider's lips further admitted, but he shared little else beyond that, instead staring into the ruined archway as attentively as he could manage. With a few steps beyond that, he drew closer to it yet off to the side but a few feet from his wild cohort.

Geraint attempts to see into the ruin, beyond both the other members and the animal companion. With only a [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/1027]10[/url], it is unlikely he is to notice anything unusual if there was to be.
