For now, you might be best off with Varis while the pair of you hurl lightning bolts into the fray. It would be wise, I think, to let Kraken, the prince, and myself to take the brunt of most attacks. I intend to get in close to the fighting. From such an intimate perspective, I'll be able to manipulate the flow of the battle."Alaric walks up to Thom and takes on a less serious demeanor. It seems that Alaric has a lighter side - one not constantly obsessed with the intricacies of battle. He continues.(Commander's Strike, Wolf Pack Tactics, and Viper's Strike)"I'll be able to facilitate flanking maneuvers quite easily, allowing Dev a bit of an advantage, or perhaps I could convince the enemy not to stray too far from my sword, lest he get obliterated by Kraken's blade. Or perhaps I could just tell Kraken to attack in my stead. You know - in case I'm tired. The villain would do right to fear my mind as well as my father's sword."Alaric laughs. He's obviously eager to showcase these abilities and to truly forge the bonds of brotherhood in combat with these allies.(Warlord's Favor and Inspiring Word)"I've mastered another trick - a bit of swordplay I've learned and been able to apply in a gentleman's duel (or two) - I stab the enemy in the chest, and then, while he's still reeling from the wound, one of my friends stabs him in the back. It may not be the most honorable strategy, but indeed, it's an effective one. And if one of us happens to become wounded, I know that a little bit of first-aid and a few encouraging words can do as much as magic."Alaric seems to have settled into a more comfortable manner - this does not seem to be the stiff nobleman that you've been anxiously traveling with. This is the Alaric his friends know and love - the pragmatic, honest, friendly warrior.(Lead The Attack)"If I have enough preparation, I believe that any enemy I set my sights on will be brought down by our superior teamwork and strategy. My tactics will provide the means by which we will crush the villains who might stand in our way. By the Gods, I pray that something tries to stand in our way!"</blockquote>
