[color=#A84B5E]“Be careful. As for the rest of us, I think we should go over some things first.”[/color] Rael said, as Seele comforted Alja.

It wasn’t that rushing to get everyone on their feet didn’t make sense to Rael. Feelings were best expressed in private. That’s what her culture had taught her, however everyone was a mix of hungry, fatigued, and underprepared.

[color=#A84B5E]“Benkei.”[/color] She called out without looking at him, [color=#A84B5E]“You seem smart. What do you got in your kit?”[/color]

It was a simple question, but one that seemed odd but Rael’s intention seemed pretty clear when she removed her backpack and dropped it on the ground with a resounding thud. Her belt of potions followed. For someone who wasn’t bright it might’ve been confusing as the girl removed two needed things to get moving and progress through the dungeon.

She retrieved two bags first and placed them on the center of the floor. [color=#A84B5E]“I’m not hungry, but some of you have to be.”[/color]

It was a lie. She was a little fatigued and a little peckish, but her needs were secondary. She had purchased food from the wayfarer’s hall on their way out. She hadn’t touched it, even in the scorching heat. She also had bought a water canteen and had it filled, but she had no intent on sharing that. That was one of the few things she would likely need if they were going to fight through several encounters.

[color=#A84B5E]“The bag on the left is dried fruit. Berries, apples, cherries, mango. The bag on the right is dried meat. Take what you need to get your energy up.”[/color]

While Benkei began to answer her question in his way by looking through his own kit, Rael began unpacking some items. Items she had kept and not sold on the black market. Potions. Elixirs. A cobbler’s kit. She immediately looked to Kalie, as she knew her reputation as both a tailor and leatherworker was well known enough that people bought her things from auctions in the player’s market. She looked at her and tossed the cobbler’s kit over, she would’ve been faster and more efficient than if Rael did it herself.

[color=#A84B5E]“Kalie. Think you can repair Graves’ boot?”[/color] She asked, though it was less of a question and more of a statement.

[color=F9FF22]“Yeah, I can fix Graves' boot. It is better to fix it than leaving it how it is.”[/color] Kalie managed as she began going through her kit for her leatherworking tools. Rael was glad. She couldn’t have anyone breaking down.

Rael went back to her agenda with equipment optimization as the blonde assassin went to work.

[color=#A84B5E]“I have multiple potions. I have no idea if any of them are addictive by the new rules we’re playing, but I think the ironskin potions here,”[/color] She moved two vials of gray liquid, [color=#A84B5E]“and these restoration potions will be needed to be split off between the party. I also have a few poisons should Graves want a little payback on this dungeon, or Alex would like his arrows to sting a bit more. They should be effective on goblins and similar creatures. I also have a few more potions of moonlight if we want to cut down on torches.”[/color]

She moved a few trinkets on the floor as well. 

[color=#A84B5E]“This is the Amulet of Adala. It’s supposed to steadily heal your life energy at the cost of lowering your magical reserves. I don’t know how it works here.”[/color] She looked down at the unique item. She had held onto it since her first raid of The Tower of Adala. A unique quest item. Only one of its kind. Part of her didn’t want to part with it, but she knew she had to.

[color=#A84B5E]“And this is Amelie’s Bracelet. The wearer has complete resistance to physical attacks until it runs out of magical power.”[/color]

Rael looked back up from the floor. She was already enchanted and geared up, so she figured whoever needed either item would be the new owners. It was weird. The old version of her in Pariah Online would have never considered acting like this. But then again, the old version was never in a life or death scenario and as much as Rael hated to admit it, she needed them as much as they needed her.
