I think. Probably not."[/i][/color] Hawkwood thinked as he saw the exchange of apologies, one-sided in its sincerity. Or, maybe there was none at all. Bah...irritable people and depreciative jokes were like oil and orange juice. Now, that analogy might not make sense, but if you ever tried to drink both at the same time, you'd die. Well...you'd die drinking oil anyways. Regardless of his crudity, Graves was a great shield for the party, and Hawkwood could respect that...as far as it mattered. Regardless of his personal thoughts, the moment had passed and new discussions popped up that were far more interesting...such as why the dungeon's surroundings were so...tranquil in comparison to earlier dungeons. And shit exploded. Loudly. Deafened a bit by his helmet, Hawkwood looked up at the little fireworks display, then to the fire mage, then sighed, running his palm over the front of his helmet. Today...would be long. And loud, undoubtedly. Then, the MOST important discussion came up, of how they would approach tackling this dungeon's interior. Pondering for a moment as he listened to the ideas of separating into groups or going as one massive Zerg, Hawkwood soon found himself elbowed in the arm by his companion. Her idea was plenty sensible, and Hawkwood nodded in agreement. [color=778899][b]"Splitting up is a bad idea, but going in an organized group will definitely get rid of a lot of confusion. We don't want our newcomers winding up running into someone's spells or blades, so I feel like we should definitely keep a veteran on both ends of each fireteam if we're doing that. Preferably someone close quarters to bring up the rear in case of an ambush."[/b][/color] he said, having finally broken his silence. [color=778899][b]"Leave the front to anybody with armor and shields, and knows how to use them; We'll make openings."[/b][/color]
