Salana takes a few moments to process the others' words before she agrees, although her reasoning is less strategic and more altruistic. "The Shining Gullet is also the biggest threat to the people in the area," she adds. "The others seem less interested in taking lives and more enthralled by power or material possessions. It would be pointless of us to save the town if all of its inhabitants were devoured in the meantime."<br/><br/>After thinking a bit more, she adds, "At some point we shall have to decide whether to continue east towards Karun or turn north towards the Black Silk Crew after we have disposed of the Shining Gullet. If I had to guess, I'd almost say that the Crew would be more knowledgeable about Karun's little kingdom than the Gullet would be, so we could probably get more information out of them."<br/><br/>Slana shifts her shield, making sure that it fastened securely to her arm. "We should prepare for an ambush at any time as soon as we leave this crossroad," she cautions. "Speaking of which, how should we arrange ourselves? We might want to send a few scouts ahead or at least put our strongest melee fighters up front as we march."
