Is that not what we're doing?"[/color] Cyne replied to Keystone's question. As she spoke, she idly watched the other spellcasters in the party butcher a bunch of brightly colored beetles. She wasn't sure how much they were going to do, if they were just going to harvest the whatever they needed (something about a gland? She'd only been half paying attention when Thomas was talking about the things he'd needed to gather during the meeting), or if everyone would need to wait around for the alchemy to be completed. Nor had his eyes shut and bided his time by tapping his foot and thinking about other things. Like if he should carry his shield around during the trip. Nothing might happen at the tower, and as much as he liked the defense it provided, the thing was a pain in the ass to lug around. But if something did happen, he would be limited to his knife and armor. Not that full plate was lacking in protection, but he found that a sturdy shield tended to work better for magic attacks, and from the sound of things, magic was a very possible threat. Damn magic users, always making everything complicated.
