Lora nodded at Onesimus's agreement with her decision and smiled faintly at his comment on his own sense of direction. "The road, as Martoumim said, will take us there. I don't want to trudge trough unfamiliar forests any more than you do."
To Claude's offer of guidance she replied with a nod as well, eying the middle-aged man with interest. "Yes I am glad no one disagrees with me from the very beginning. I'm using my head and I want to stay alive just as much as you men, so I don't intend on making bad decisions. Should you, or anyone else for that matter, see a flaw in my plans, bring it up immediately, so long as it's not in the heat of the moment."
As they gathered in formation, Lora looked at Trinham's familiar, as she answered his question with a calm, concentrated expression on her face. "I have considered the option of sending Mogins as a scout, but did not wish to impose it. Losing your familiar is too much of a setback, I should know that all too well as a Wizard. The road is clear enough to give us a good sight on things approaching from the direction we are heading, so the only place Mogins could be useful as a scout, would be either side of the road, which is thick shrubs and woods. There might be foxes, wolves or worse animals that he can't evade or outrun, and if there is indeed an ambush or something other that needs scouting, it could easily be on the other side of the road. In short, the risk for you is too great and the benefit to the party - too little. If you want to send him out however, I will not stop you."
Lora then went back to her position and spoke to Jareth as she was fixing her weapon on her shoulder. "Well, can you or can't you cast Mage Armor and Shield from a scroll? If you can't you should give them to me as i can make use of them."
