Jabbar: "Smugglers are more experienced avoiding fights than preparing for them. I'm no battle-commander... the nervous hammering of my own heart spells out trepidation better than words ever could. The evils of the black network are hard to forget, and harder still to face again..." He swallows. "I'm not prepared to make life-or-death decisions with the rest of your lives..." He states with weariness and dismay, locking eyes with the battle-scarred dwarf. "They say the wisest way to prepare for a combat-engagement is gather allies and choose a favorable battlefield. Burrai has called for this twice already. I cannot speak for everyone, but I'd gladly defer leadership to Burrai Steelborn for the time-being. He has proven himself a brave and stalwart veteran. We could hardly ask for a better commander against such powerful foes!""I put myself and all my resources at your disposal Burrai. I will even follow you into the sewers to meet with Rasul. All I ask is that you leave the priestess, Elloral, behind to look after my partner Aust. He must be taken to the temple of Ishvar at dawn. I will not leave unless he is looked after in my absence. There's no telling how long we'll be delayed down there."Elloral: Nods somberly. "I will do as you ask Jabbar." Avar: Looks strangely at Jabbar, clearly disappointed to hear him speak of abstention-by-cowardice. A difficult thing to swallow for any dwarf. And yet, there is understanding there as well. A mutual appreciation for the one nominated to take command. Avar stands beside Burrai with arms crossed. "So be it, I will take orders from Burrai. I have no keen desire to descend into the sewers, but I will do whatever's necessary to have a chance to strike a blow against the ancient enemies of my clan!"  Ren: Flicks his whiskers with eagerness. "Master will be pleased! I am prepared to lead you to Rasul immediately. It is not safe in the sewers without a rhat as your guide!"[Aletia, Burrai, Ersun: What do you do?] </blockquote>
