Tailpin smiled and opened the party window with a few swipes of his hand he created party invitations and flipped the accept screen around so that the scythe wielder and Emperor could use it.  He looked at Anubis with an appraising gaze.  It made sense that the pet would have some natural advantages.  The fact that the guy mentioned Shared Vision, even if only by description, told something about how far he had gotten before.  How little he spoke and how little information he volunteered made the archer suspect strongly that this party might not be a long lasting one.  Still, there were a few ways to make sure of its odds.

Tailpin decided that he would have to show how much information he expected to receive and spoke up readily.  "I've actually trained in perception more than most.  I've got good clarity out to about fifty or sixty feet in low-light so I won't have to rely on you for that, myself.  I've also specialized in the bow so I'll be trying to pull enemies to us instead of letting them choose the time and place if that's alright with you.  Oh, my name is Tailpin, this is Emperor."  

He turned his attention to Emperor for a moment.  "Unspecialized isn't that rare a thing at this level range.  A lot of the people here are still probably finding out how they fight best.  Don't tailor your battle strategy to favor a new acquaintance.  Specializations will come with personal experience.  As for the hunting part of this little jaunt, just pay attention to the area that you can see.  There shouldn't be any other players roaming off-road this time of night so you should just be able to focus on close range defense.  If you can't kill it immediately then hit it and slow it down."  He hadn't been a beta tester but Tailpin had been a gamer and was older than both of his current companions by at least the better part of a decade so he gave advice with confidence.  Still, he did glance at the still unintroduced young man with respect.  He clearly had more specifically relevant experience and might have something to say.  Then again, there was something that Tailpin didn't remember him saying yet.

"I caught Anubis's name but I think I missed yours?"  He asked obliquely.
