Hearing the muttering behind him,and not unaware of the pointed comments directed his way Arthur slammed open the door of his one room office, the tiny building groaning in protest. The room was in various states of disarray, with the desk being dominated by crumpled and torn papers and a chair with a broken leg facing it. He hastily sat down, sending a quick prayer of thanks to Kessel that the entire party managed to squeeze into the room. Noticeably, there was a 4th member to the group, but he quickly dismissed him as some sort of traveling inventor/charlatan, tricking people out of their money for some fancy doodads and gadgets. Taking a deep breath, he began what he thought to be a graceful and eloquent speech.

[b]"Listen up you lot, I haven't got all day and I'm only saying this shit once so shut your traps. You vagabonds "quest" is to head down into those dungeons over the hills, and clear out all those fucking monsters inside. Obviously facing your worst nightmares might rattle those tiny brains of yours, so either pray to whatever God you fancy at the church, or drink yourself to oblivion I don't care which. All the loot you bring back you can sell to graves. He'll rip you off, but no one else is going to buy the shit you dig up and no one else can spare the supplies you need on your ventures. You better bring torches and food or I can get Zachariah to start carving your tombstones already. And I don't care how much you love shadows priest, you're a dead fucker if a monster catches you out of the light. Although I suppose you'll probably just walk off and worship your demon master, sacrifice some people from the village or some shit. " [/b]he pointed at the half vampire sullenly [b] "you, vampire girl. You try and suck the blood of any of those monsters and your sanity will drop like a sack of rocks. You might get some insane battle skills but you better measure what you want more, your sanity or your life. " [/b]he gave a quick grin at the Templar before focusing his advice on her. [b]"You're the only one I suspect will survive more than the first dungeon. Just bash em and smash em, I don't know whatever you fancy as long as it keeps you and everyone else alive. This group is barely worth defending, but you should stay in the front lines. " [/b]lastly he briefly glanced at the engineer before dismissing him almost completely, only half muttering [b]"just stay out of the real fighters way, and don't bother with your tricks or fake magic. " [/b]

He stood up suddenly and grinned at the group, staring each of them in the eyes for a couple of seconds Before saying [b] "alright, so who wants to go clean out a crypt?"  [/b]
