Ada released a sigh of relief when the swordsman returned to their side. This infiltration had already been botched twelve ways to Summer's Eve, and they certainly did not need a potential liability waiting in town when they made it out alive. [i]If[/i] might be a better choice of words by the way the goliath charged around. 

[color=39b54a]"A valiant offer,"[/color] Ada replied to the half elf's suggestion, [color=39b54a]"but bravado means little if you fall in chains. The rest of us would be hard-pressed to lend you aid if you entered with this barrier in place. And I am loathe to waste more time on the front steps of this manor after our friend has knocked so loudly. We have another entrance provided to us. I suggest we investigate lest we find our quest cut short."[/color]

Ada turned to the large man, her hand to her forehead. [color=39b54a]"My dear Thunderbrain, have you heard of the term subtlety? It refers to the idea that we may not wish to be the center of attention. When entering the lair of an unknown enemy, you do not announce your presence so boldly lest you find yourself a dragon's snack. The strongest among us is not a match for all the cruelty of this world by themselves. I would hate for your canine compatriots to need to find a new master."[/color]

Finally, she faced the older man that accompanied them. [color=39b54a]"My skill with a lockpick is barely passable,"[/color] she confessed, perhaps with some modesty. [color=39b54a]"I have not faced a barrier such as this in recent memory, but if you believe it is in our best interest, I am willing to make the attempt. The thief may be a better choice, wherever he now is."[/color] A thought crossed her mind, and Ada showed a slight smile. [color=39b54a]"Perhaps if the two of you mages combine your efforts, I can get us inside with greater ease. Alas, but what little arcane magic I know feeds my bowstring."[/color]
