Marita moved quickly to take a position near the front. Kosara was bouncing ahead and there wasn't much she could do about that beside run ahead which was not a good move. It felt like the most sensible position for her. Kathryn was the obvious frontliner, and although Marita wasn't the best at taking hits, she was in much heavier armor than the rest of the party. Victoria and definitely Kosara were better served not being in the line of fire. She could only hope the tiefling would move out of the open when it came time to actually fight. BB was quite large and maybe those scales offered a decent amount of protection, but he gave off similar vibes as Hugh and that didn't give her the most confidence in his durability.

Wordlessly, she took the dagger Kathryn offered her and tucked it into her belt. It likely wouldn't be very useful in full combat since her newly silvered mace was a much better weapon, but if she found herself disarmed, it would be a very handy sidearm. However, that wasn't her reason for taking it. She found herself missing the dagger as soon as she read the letter from Cavendish, and it was quite fortunate that their half giant supplied her with another without even being prompted. If they managed to take Cavendish out of commission without him fleeing or dying, she was going to use that dagger to get answers out of him. And then, she'd make sure that it'd make him pay for his sins. That bit of fun would have to wait until later.

The timing of things were rather inconvenient. She'd prefer to cast Bless before they went into combat in case there were more anti-spellcaster crossbowmen hidden somewhere, but from the way things seemed to be going, it would run out before they had the chance to utilize the blessing to its full potential. She also wanted to wordlessly ignore anything the bastard had to say and walk up to him and cave his ribcage in, but Kathryn had other plans. Her speech to try dissuading Cavendish's lackeys was commendable but would likely bare no fruit. Still, she let the lordess have her say as she looked around the field and studied the cages. Perhaps they were frail enough for them to smash open. She couldn't really tell, and given the situation, it wasn't in their best interest to try such a stunt. Perhaps if she had inhuman strength like Kathryn, but as it were, it was best to focus on what was ahead of them.
