Hmm... that odd-looking human seems to hold himself highly.  Maybe he'll take on the position of blabbermouth.  Most of the stuck-ups all do.  Very nice armor though.  I gotta get me some of that stuff.  If I can ever get paid enough myself that is.Look at that elf in the funny mask.  Huh.  Must be one of those Valenars that the Bugby family was talking about on the ride over here.  Said that the elves that attacked them all wore those strange masks - supposed to be special or something.  Wonder what he looks like underneath it, cause it sure doesn't add to his looks at all.That khoravar doesn't look the mouth-running type.  Looks like a monk with all those robes he's wearing.  Sovereign Host too from the looks of things.  Dunno how he got stuck on guard duty... but oh well.  Not my place to judge how you waste your life.And a warforged too.  Yeesh.  Bit odd look about him as well.  It IS a 'him', right?  Right.  I think.  Can hardly tell these days.  Looks strong though, which'll help.  By the gods, what an odd bunch.  Maybe I will get stuck speaking for all these blokes?  Certainly hope not, regardless of what the House tells me to do.  16 months.  That's all.  16 more months then I'm going home, I don't care what they say.Ugh.  This's my lot in life, I guess... whipping boy for the House.  Thanks a lot, father, this was a brilliant idea.  I certainly hope you're making the most of the Thrones the House is giving you for my efforts...He looks down at the raggedy state of his tunic, pants and boots, plus the poor quality of both the scale and the waraxe at his side....because I bloody well aren't seeing so much as a Crown.</blockquote>
