Audra sits on the edge of the Altar, watching Megan walk by on the other side of her from where Ariel had shoved her derrier into her path as if she were afraid the Monk might proceed with her proposed scouting which seemed to pretty much go unnoticed by her companions. She watches Megan make her way down the stairs and stop near the bottom. She waits for Megan to give word or sign and when the word given is cautiously and prepared for battle she hops off of the altar, cracks her knuckles and slips into her place in line, trying to position herself so that all who require light to see to descend the stairs have sufficient light. As they start descend the stairs she looks back at Saktouk.
Buy you a drink when we get back to Venza?
This is offered in a friendly jest before she turns her gaze back to Megan, her face now serious as the group approaches.
Okay, who is gonna lead this parade, Ariel? Considering what we know of what we are to face, it might be best if you go. You're the best prepared of us to deal with reanimated things.
