[hr][hr][center][b][color=#22B747]Alex // Vulcan[/color][/b] [sub][b]LOCALE[/b] // Outskirts on the Dungeon [b]TIME[/b] // Afternoon[/sub][/center][hr][hr] Alex finally woke up from his dreary state when Redsky's fire magic lit up the sky with heat and noise. He had put his brain on autopilot completely ignoring the journey to the dungeon, only reacting outwardly at Landon's surprising use of buff enchantments on crossbow bolts. However, it only grabbed his curiosity for a few seconds before he fell back into his closed off state. The explosion on the other hand ignited his attention into full wakefulness. His mind still buzzing from the surprise explosion, he noticed that they had finally arrived at the dungeon and the idiotic mage blasting superheated flares in the sky was making her jolly way towards the undoubtedly monster infested dungeon. [color=#22B747]"Stupid is as stupid does."[/color] Sighing at the amount of idiocy he woke up to, he listened into the plans that a few in the group were deciding on. Out of everyone here the truly intellectual ones seemed to be Rael, Graves, and Elian. They each had their own personality quirks, but they all seemed to rationalize the situation to an appropriate level. He approached the three and inserted himself abruptly into their conversation. [color=#22B747]"I agree with Rael and Graves in this situation, Elian. We need to stick together until we have a firm grasp on the layout and general information on what dwells within. That being said, we need to be ready to split up and work independently when we enter the dungeon. As you pointed out earlier, Rael, few dungeons are linear. We need to be prepared with a plan as well as set up a few fireteams to work independent of each other in case of an emergency. It would also help assist with distributing orders as well as disseminate information between members of a group this large."[/color] The relationship dynamics in this party were clearly hectic and difficult to control. The party layout it self was all over the place. There was no defined leadership and the only link between everyone was Elian. An 11 man party with only two healers was stretching itself thin, maybe Landon could take a role as a pseudo-healer with his buffs. Either way there were roughly four tanks, an archer, one moronic fire mage, two healers, a bard and gadgeteer as support, and lastly Alex himself could function mostly as a close range damage dealer. It was hard to define Pariah classes so simply as the directions that a single person could take with their skills were endless. [color=#22B747]"I would choose to build two fire teams that could split up if need be, but besides that, we need to have a set leader. With out a leader, we are going to have idiots like fire crotch over there doing what ever they want. In my opinion that's your job, Elian. Your the only one that seems to know everyone here. Regardless, we need to make a quick decision. Something doesn't feel right about this situation, but I can't tell quite yet."[/color] After speaking his mind quickly and concisely, Alex folded his arms across his chest and waited for a response. Hopefully these morons could get there act together. As for Rael, Alex decided to keep an eye on her, she seemed to be experienced and knowledgeable on dungeon raids. Between her and the volatile Graves, he already determined the two that he could 'trust' to make solid decisions in bad situations. Unfortunately they didn't seem particularly like the leading types otherwise he would have recommended them over Elian. From his experience working with her, she seemed to have difficulty in maintaining calm outwardly in situations like these. Perhaps she could prove him wrong.
