Cassius simply rolled his eyes as Gerald's complaints. Though some were valid, and understandable, but being part of a mercenary company to his understanding was about taking risk for big rewards. However, he knew very little about Wardens other than they were very respected. The Blighters however he had grasp on.
"I see the deep roads as very minimal in terms of danger from what I can evaluate. The leader here stated that the Wardens cleared out the roads a great deal. One encounter a week as well as discovery. And if you see something dangerous, you don't touch it. You wouldn't jump on top of the fire. Would you?" He smirked a bit.
"On top of that, it is more dangerous above land where wild life,spirits,highway men,bandits and assassins are likely to strike you. Darkspawn are the lesser threats when there is the probability of those other threats I listed." He folded his arms.
"Besides... our lovely dwarf friend here would be able salvage and rediscover things useful. It honestly seems even less risky... lack of weather, meaning you don't have to worry about being rained on, snowed on, hailed on, lightning for all the metallic items you have. But..." Cassius pursed his lips a bit.
"You'd also need to prepare more supplies. Less likely to be stolen at that. Also. No Tornadoes to worry about." he joked.
