Adam was grateful that everyone seemed to be okay. “Okay” being used loosely in James’ case, but he was intact and slowly healing his wounds. As long as Second Chance kept an eye on him, everyone would be able to escape this temple alive. 


The group's youngest member returned Barracker's embrace, smiling in response to his compliment. The Druid wasn't completely adjusted to the idea of hugging on a battlefield, but then again he wasn't completely adjusted to battle period. When in Rome, he supposed. When the Paladin suggested a course of action for their advance, the red-eyed man agreed.


“Right, or at least delay them a little. They might have another fire mage, so they could just burn their way in. We'll need to stay alert.”


Looking at the team's leader, Adam had another idea. Well, two ideas technically. The first was to pull the book so that the secret passage would be revealed, which he did. The second took place shortly thereafter; when he made the first tree to barricade the route with, he made sure to grab a sturdy stick from it, one strong enough to be used for support. He then offered it to the Cleric, not wanting him to fall over in his effort to keep everyone else fully healed. He had no doubt that MacKensie would help James as long as he needed it, but if another fight broke out,  the Ranger would be more useful in combat than as furniture.
