Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kelleris" data-source="post: 1921190" data-attributes="member: 19130">Great, now I'm being blamed for the moron.  Trying to get him to act sensibly was like trying to wrestle a dust mote to the ground.  Is someone under the impression that I'm in charge here?  None of these wonderful people seem to be laboring under that impression, anyway...Adauth takes a moment to concentrate on his umbilical and retrieve his gear from wherever it was stored.  Flexing the massive wrought-iron gauntlet on his left hand, he considers the situation.  Probably haven't got the time to recover my spell reserves before something nasty happens.  Mmm...  I'm going to have a few new entries to add to the Book concerning the wrangling of large groups of people used to working alone..."Shinji, there's a klaxon going off in my head.  I believe it's due to our friend there's actions.  Why don't we follow?  Nothing's getting done hanging out around here, and it's getting crowded what with the wagons and the dragons.  Best guess, we've upset someone with our self-redirections.  We should probably do our best to keep moving and get out of the... area... as soon as possible."Adauth turns to Grundy.  "Honored Council Grundy, in a better world I would love to put my faith in the services of your familiar, but as it happens, our hand has been forced.  Do join us, please."Without another word, Adauth steps after Roth, already planning the lecture on responsibility and group loyalty and not touching glowing things he's going to reduce the boy to tears with.  My, I'm in a fabulously bad mood.  I guess being dead will do that to you.  In any case, the adventurer's life is a brief and painful one for someone who just touches glowing portals without first getting his facts straight.  He needs to learn sooner or later...Adauth cracks a smile at the thought of teaching the neophyte as he strides toward the open door.  He walks with purpose in his step, and is keeping alert in case he needs to issue any orders or defend himself against any comers (read: activating his motivate Dexterity aura and his motivate attack auras).</blockquote>
