[color=39b54a][b]Astra[/b][/color] walked up to [b]Talos[/b] and looked him up giving a measuring scrutiny... the 5'9" young woman seemingly unconcerned and unphased or affected by his 12'ft height... [color=39b54a]"You may have difficulty inside the catacomb-like dungeons from your height. You are tall enough to reach over me so you should stay behind me so you do not get in the way of my engaging any hostiles in battle. Were you shorter.. a rear guard would be useful... but with your height that seems impractical.. best to employ your might on the front."[/color] She regards his clothing, [color=39b54a]"...is that armor you are wearing? How resilient to damage are you physically? Do you feel comfortable using your bulk to shield the non-close ranged combatants in our ... expedition from ranged or area attacks? If not I can do so... though Area attacks might be .. less effective with me doing so."[/color] Her tone is without scorn or disdain mere coldly clinical practicality... an a strange candor to efficiently coordinate with the only other party member she deems a worthy melee combatant... and she casts a measuring and assessing gaze over the rest of the Expedition. She is assessing the worn armor of everyone present despite the fact she herself is not wearing anything anyone would recognize as 'armor' the close fitting body-sheath and brightly colored cloak hiding none of her shapely attractive feminine features...

[color=00aeef]Appraisal F[/color] [i]{Scan party}[/i] Measuringly, she scans all of the Expedition with a distant but scrutinizing look as if reading something no one else can see ... starting with [b]Talos[/b], then [b]Silas[/b], [b]Elaria[/b], and finally [i]Lord[/i] [b]Percival Ashcombe[/b] and [b]Xian-Fu[/b]... She pondered what she discerns, [color=39b54a]"So.. a 'teleporting' Elf ..er Fae See, a 'fire casting' Fae See, Lord Percival and You Talos are both armored. Acceptable."[/color] Turning to speak toward him, [color=39b54a]"[i]Lord[/i] [b]Percival[/b] would you mind being our rear guard against ambush? With your Rifle you can engage hostiles even in the front without shifting position. It would be ... imprudent to expose our unarmored Fae to attack... though with a teleporting caster that might be easier to keep them from direct assault in close quarters."[/color] Turning toward the Fae See, [color=39b54a]"[b]Silas[/b], can you take passengers with you when you teleport? If you can stay near to [b]Elaria[/b].. to move her in emergency out of harms way."[/color] Addressing the entire party, [color=39b54a]"Does anyone have a better plan of marching order or wish to point out something I may have overlooked?"[/color] The sheer unquestioning confident candor of one use to battle and engaging with various capabilities is.. uncanny coming from such a petite pretty girl.. seemingly without weapons, armor of any apparent concern for her lack thereof! Bold and Fearless being her hallmark personality traits.
