Xarces does a quick assessment of the gnolls form when he turns to enter the tent, he seeming to look physically capable, though of course looks could be deceiving. When he returns and speaks of the lizardfolks lack of skill in the looting department, combined with Synys' comment of them not being too organized Xarces would have to interject. "To be fair the blackscale do view most other races as inferior, so the same view would likely translate to their possessions. and the poison dusk are quite crafty especially when underestimated.....after all the lizardfolk took the two of you down, no small feat I am certain.....and we cannot deny the culinary prowess that they possess, roasted gnoll, and....." he pauses looking to Synys "human." he decides, idly caressing Shaklik's shoulder as he speaks as it was apparent he was doing so more in her defense then anything as she was after all a lizardfolk.<br/><br/>When the gnoll introduces himself Xarces chuckles "Very handy to have around indeed, though most of the enemies we have encountered have not been very interested in punching us....rather biting, ripping, and devouring...so I do hope you can withstand that sort of punishment as well, otherwise I fear we could yet end up on the chopping block before this trip is out.  Albeit our chances of success are a great deal better with you two around, and I am more then grateful that we came across you when we did." he exclaims not wanting to seem too pessimistic about their chances, and yet not wanting to be over confident either.
