Vitius gave the necromancer a sideways glance followed by a small shrug.

[color=#DD0000]"Suit yourself,"[/color] he said simply. [color=#DD0000]"But keep in mind that, other than sitting here in this tavern, the ruins are the only choice we've got."[/color]

Despite his attempt at persuasion, Vitius considered simply leaving the man here. Although he hadn't said anything at the time, he had seen just how jittery and nervous the poor bastard was when he first walked in. Nerves like that could get you killed on the battlefield, as he himself knew, and throw your allies into disarray. And the last thing he wanted was to be fighting off some beast in some dark and dank ruin somewhere, only to have his shaky friend their balk when he was needed the most. Of course that wasn't even the end of his problems either. In truth Vitius took issue with the composition of the entire party as it currently stood. Not only did he not know most of their skills, though the newest arrival had the look of a hunter so that was something at least, but those he was aware of were all useless in a combat scenario. Sure the lass seated next to him could play a pretty tune, but could she hold her own in a fight? As for the ragged man, he was far too jumpy for Vitius to even think of relying on, let alone fighting alongside.

As for the fae, while he had seen one during his time in the Hoods, he hadn't had the chance to work alongside her for any considerable amount of time and thus wasn't too sure about how useful the one that had joined them the night before would be. Still, his small size made him a hard target to hit, so perhaps that counted for something. Not much, but something. In the end, however, it seemed that the huntress[i]—assuming she was a competent one—[/i]was the only individual here he could possibly see making a kill, although hunting an animal was very different from hunting a man or beast. Two things he felt would be patrolling the ruins to the south in abundance, be it together or apart. All in all it was quite the piss-poor group he had as far as battle readiness went, but perhaps they'd get lucky and find nothing there but crumbling stone and rotting plants.

Personally though, Vitius doubted it'd be that easy.
