Adriaan has comebacks ready for all of the comments, but he drops most of them.  "I'll take that bet... Ice Queen," he tells the oread, a friendly grin on his face.  "And I'll bet in turn that you chip a tooth.  Only mildly, but it'll sting for a little bit."<br/><br/>Then he turns to the rest of the group.  "Sounds like a solid plan of attack," he says.  "That's why I have spears, though I hope I won't need them.  I've got this."  He gives his sling a good whirl.  "I'm a pretty good shot," he explains, his sling empty.  "I'll try to take down everyone I can.  Don't worry, Doctor," he tells Brelia.  "I'm not taking chances when they get close.  They get in range, it's melee all the way."  He puts a hand on his spear to emphasize the point.
