Before Theradin could even have a chance to respond, Shensara's eyes quickly widened as a hulking figure drew closer to them. Having an entire five feet on the poor little faun woman, the witch quickly felt minuscule in the figure's presence. Shen's ears fell flat to her head, and as he stood right behind her she could only tilt her head back and look up toward the man. While no words formed in her mouth, it was obvious she was intimidated, and as he revealed her wished to accompany them on this quest, Shen gulped. Her tan skin was a bit more pale, but as long as the figure beneath all that armor was on their side, she could get used to him, though it would take time. With the commotion of the armored figure, Shensara didn't even notice the kobold that had also approached, and only looked over when the small lizard-woman spoke.

Tilting her head, Shensara's heart calmed a bit when she saw another small figure, and woman mind you, would be joining their adventure. Smaller than even Shensara, the witch felt immediately protective over the small kobold, and as she saw the little figure struggling to see over the table, Shensara raised her hand as magic glowed from her palm. The kobold would be lifted slightly, almost as if there were an invisible stool for her to step on. Now a bit of her chest was over the line of the table, allowing her to stand normally and be seen a bit better by the rest of the party. While the witch hoped the kobold wouldn't be offended in any way, Shensara turned back to pay attention to Theradin nonetheless, offering no more than a kind nod in the small lizard-woman's way.

The dwarf's findings fascinated Shensara, so much so that the amount of coin she'd be receiving nearly went over her head. "Oh.." The witch mused to herself, listening to the possible things they'd find beneath the earth. While the faun wasn't big on history, she did of course know the story of The Great Dying. Dragons and humans fought one another, but the story never mentioned dwarves, if she recalled. This would be an extremely important find, indeed. Especially for Theradin's race. That was enough then for her to help. "What sort of beasts if I might ask? I'm rather well versed in enchantment, so some beasts I may just be able to ward off with a kind word or two." Shensara chuckled to herself with a shrug.

The Armour had glanced down after another voice spoke seeing a small draconic looking creature. Julius was confused why such an odd group wanted to take part in some expedition. A faun which Julius thought would of preferred to stay out of this type of business. Along with an even smaller Kobold, he hoped they were capable of magic that would compensate for the lack of evident physical strength of the pair. Funnily enough Julius did not question the strength of a dwarf, due to experience in fights with many.

Once the dwarf went into detail about the task at hand, Julius looked down with the armour letting a slight creak and groan from the metal plates. It drowned out most of the information given until the words 'Great Dying' were spoken, that is when Julius piped up and listened. When the dwarf spoke on about excellent craftsmen, Julius could not deny the fact. They made things from rings to weapons that still marvel him. After all if it was not for the dwarfs it is possible Julius could of had a drastically shorter life. The foggy memory of Julius tried to identify which kingdom of dwarfs it was, but it came to no avail, seemingly too long of a time to remember the name.

Julius did not care bout coin it was now a personal endeavour to head down to the depths of the chasm. If anything remained that could forge the weapons of old, would be vital to his purpose. When the part of information came up Julius could vaguely remember the layout of one Dwarven 'settlement' he visited during the 'Dying' but for the life of him could not remember where it was. 
.

"The coin is good." Julius spoke after the small faun's pause after hearing the price. Then hearing the faun go on about spells Julius hoped that the faun was a near expert at casting and not some novice. Despite the physical capability of the Armour, Julius was unsure he'd be able to properly act in defence. The Armour creaked once more as it looked down at the 'small' party, he sure hoped it be a walk in the park.

Surbi opened her mouth to speak again, but her train of thought was interrupted by an abrupt force that seemed to lift her up about six inches. Eliciting a little squeaky "*Eep*" As she looked to the fawn, almost awaiting some sort of follow-up spell that never actually came, much to her relief. As she took a brief moment to regain her composure, adjusting the glasses on her nose which had slid down as she jerked in response to the magic. The things that Mister Blackhelm had spoken to her of were most appealing indeed. A scholar and curious at heart, as soon as she heard what they'd be investigating, the amount of coin no longer mattered to her.

.
"Thank you." She nodded to the fawn. "The money is more than enough. The discoveries are what I'm in it for now." She said, wide eyes locking on Theradin, which seemed even larger past the intense magnifications of her glasses. "Even if it turns out to be dangerous, I've got some training in magic. I'm not the best, but..." She began to rummage around in her pockets and pouches, seemingly looking for something. As she looked down, she had nearly forgotten that her feet were still dangling below her, swaying softly in her moment of enthusiasm. She resumed her search nonetheless, and proceeded to remove a small bundle of brass and gears. As she placed it on the table, it remained entirely inert. Which seemed to shock her. She tapped it gently with one of her claws. "...I've also got a little expedition buddy. H-Harold... Time to wake up." And, with this little bit of encouragement, the gears spun to life. Brass limbs slowly unfurled, and in a matter of seconds, sitting on the tabletop was a brass spider, but in place of eyes, there were shining black pearls, and in place of fangs, two needles, which were loaded with a nasty looking substance. The metal critter crawled back to the Kobold's hand and up her arm. Finding a resting spot on her shoulder, which it was just barely small enough to reside on. Even from there, mechanical clicking and whirring could be heard, and for the deeply magically inclined, they would note incredibly *Tiny* Runes marking the exoskeleton of the contraption.

"I know we don't look like much, and I'm most definitely not as p-powerful as-" She let her gaze trail to where the armored individual stood, and she was now able to fully appreciate the sheer size of whoever stood underneath it. She quickly looked away, as tilting her head back so far made her dizzy. She was used to being small, even compared to some kobolds, but she felt as though she barely reached the knee plating of the armor.

"As this large guy, but I think I was made for such a task."

*Theradin beamed at the response of the adventures, pulling out some coins, and giving each person 13 crowns.* "Thank you so much for doing this. I'll give the rest of the coin when we get back, but you don't know how much this means to me." *He offered a handshake to each person in turn, before returning to the map.* "My own knowledge on the area is only as good as any of you, so we need to be prepared for anything. I'll finance supplies like rope and picks, along with provisions, but you'll have to bring whatever supplies to protect yourself, such as weapons and armor. I do have a cart, and horse, so that's taken care of. Just make sure you bring your normal equipment and I'll provide the rest."

*He pointed at a minor road on the map, leading out into the country near the Chasm, but no road lead directly to it.* "We'll take this old road nearby, and set up a base camp here. We should be able to poke around for a few days. I hope to leave tomorrow if you are all up for it."
