Oliver nodded when Sanguine pointed out that the undead didn't make the best support for skittish fighters. She was right, so he didn't push the issue. He did have a mind to march over there and explain the situation and let the zombies stand in front and soak up the initial punishment. He didn't go through with it, though, as that would mean first arguing with the Guild Master.

The Paladin said nothing as Sanguine did a remarkable job managing the situation to her favour. It was almost like she did this for a living.

Numbers were vague, but the warrior caught the words "three score" and wished they had cavalry. A single banner would do much to shatter the resolve of foot-borne soldiers. Bartholmew looked like he was having similar thoughts as he rushed off to lead his own troop. This inspired sudden defiance in the Cleric, and couldn't hold his tongue any longer.
