Joe didn't really need anything to prepare. He didn't wear armor and he didn't use weapons, he was ready as it was. So he just shadowboxed a little as everyone else did their equipment and warmed up his muscles for combat. He never heard of the teleportation pad, it was a pretty cool sight. The others had their little shiny weapons. Joe wasn't impressed. He knew he was about to fuck shit up regardless, this should be nothing but slaughter for them. They all were offensive focused and apparently they were low ranked monsters. All that Joe expected was a bloodbath and he was perfectly fine with that. 

As they entered the scene one of the researchers immediately caught them. Giving them a direction to where they are. Convenient. "I agree", he smiled at her.

 "He gave us a direction, so it's not like we need to search for something.", Joe pointed out. Already walking towards the north east. 

"Look out for monsters surrounding us but continue walking north-east without stopping unless you're sure you saw something.", Joe suggested while performing this same action.
