Shale runs out the portal exit and looks around happily safe. "We have anyone? No one got lost?" He chuckles a bit, and scans the perimiter for hostiles before letting his guard down. Checks to see where Ka and Seth are.

Shale sighs and walks into the circle, "How could I resist spending eternity trapped in etherial nothingness with you guys..."

I am decidedly OVERJOYED to be going to Silverleaf Sunday... That just puts the cherry on top of a great weekend.

*Note: Being stuck in the "astral plane" with no receiving circle... would suck.

Shale sits and ponders the situation thinking about what Will happen to Seth and Ka.

Shale grips his shield and raises it over his head in a token show of peace, while hidden to those in front of him by his sheild he secretly charges a spell packet for if this turnes ugly.

Shale grumbles and moves to the front with his sheild as ordered.

Shale calles forward from the back, "It would take a group of skilled woodsmen and scouts to hide a group this size from creatures that call these thier natural suroundings. I think we would do less harm to get through here as quickly as possible than attempt stealth."

Shale looks over at Curufin with eyebrows razed and in a bit of awe that his commander is just now coming to terms with the obvious.

Shale slips from front to back whispering to each as he passes a word of warning about the lizardmen. When reashing the back he charges a spell pack to have ready just in case while they walk and whistles back up to Sethreal giving him the nod that his orders have been followed.

Keeps a watch from the rear to make sure he doesn't leave anyone to straggle or allow a flank attack to the group.

Shale stands behind his brothers and sister and sighs slightly at the rampant euphemisms. "No matter how far I get from my mother's court, and no matter how long I live the life of a soldier, it still amazes me the level of resolve you people put into your flirting."

Nods a greeting to Ka.

Shale looks over at Kidwynn with a smile, "Is Kels so much a distraction you didn't hear me just say that... You gonna be alert when we are out in the wastes?"

Shale shoulders his sheild and walks behind Sethreal next to Kidwynn and Kels with one hand on his sword's grip. "I don't know about the others Dallid, but turning back and abandoning people we've sworn to help isn't what the Phoenix Guard is about. If we cast our lot with you we won't turn bac...

Shale nods to Sethreal and claps a hand to his shoulder, "Yessir."

Smiles at Nuk, "Seems a common tactic, but it certainly works."

Walks past and gets another ale from Atrum.
