Lanharath smiles warmly and shakes the half-orks hand while winking at Pok.
"We hadn't noticed before that you come with another companion! You don't look like one who trains animals in the forests, so your friend must be a spiritual compatriot. What is his or her name?" says Lanharath to the gnome mentally.
"We are pleased to meet you all. It might be good, while we travel to the ship, to get a good idea of what each of our strengths and weaknesses are, so that in our travels together we can get a good idea of who should do what in any given situation.
Like you, River, we can see that you carry no weapon. How do you intend to protect yourself against naked steel? What skills do you have outside of a fight that make you a valuable member of this team?
Pok: We can see that you may not want to fight, but if it comes to it, what will you be bringing to it? What else are you good at? I can tell that you are quite stealthy, and that can definitely be of use. Not many could see you when you don't want to be seen, ourselves excluded.
Without a doubt, I can say that my senses are unparalleled in this group, and even though we may not be as light of foot as Pok, here, we think our best role for this expedition would be as lead scout. Please do not take this as vanity or cock-sureness. We have been trained by House Medani experts to be the best at what we do. We will admit we may not be as diplomatic, strong, or intimidating as the rest of you, but we ARE the best at what we do and we have yet to meet any who can beat us at it. If you think you are a better contender for lead scout, simply say why. We are not here to hold grudges, only to get a job done swiftly and efficiently.
Thusk: You seem quite strong. We may need that strength to see us through. I heard your enthusiasm at traveling great distances. Are you familiar with the lay of the land?
Rohna: You will also be good in a fight, and though your armor may slow you down, we dare not underestimate you. You move like one who is no stranger to battle, and though your tactics will differ from ours, and possibly the rest of the group as well, your blade is welcome. Are there any other skills you bring with you?
Lastly, Valahad. We have had a few moments to speak with you, and like Rohna, we believe that you will bring fear to anyone who dares to attack us. Like us, you bring the Light of Il-Yannah to the group. Let that light never fade, Valahad, lest the darkness encroach."
[sblock= OOC] So, from what I can tell (I haven't looked at anyone but Pok's character sheets) we have a 1/2-Orc Barbarian (Striker), a Gnome Wizard (Controller), A Shifter Cleric or Druid (I can't tell which yet since I have not seen either a totem or a holy symbol)(Leader or Controller), a Goliath Fighter?/Shaman (Defender/leader), a Kalishtar Paladin (Defender), and a Kalashtar Avenger (Striker). That's a pretty good balance, especially if River is a Cleric and not a Druid (though either is quite welcome!). This should be a really interesting group what with the racial, religious, and personal differences. [/sblock]
