While observing the interaction between those he'd be fighting alongside, those he'd be relying on to ensure his escape and likely even his survival, Xarius couldn't help but notice all of the tension between the various members of their little group. Among them all, Garth and Chira seemed the most like minded, or at the very least, not downright adverse to the types of people he'd worked with in the past. Never in his wildest dreams would Xarius have imagined, that he, a divine hunter, a paladin of Sarenrae would count a succubus, a woman potentially associated with devils, and what could as well have been an assassin as his allies..desperate times in deed. Of course he was not as vocal about the situation as Garth, even if the priest wasn't being outright hostile, it was clear his words were offending Delia in particular.  Of course the orcish priest wasn't the only one who's nature was at odds with other members of their group, for the recently freed Mona seemed to be of a sort that was similar and yet opposite in nature to Delia, speaking openly about devils, where Delia quickly retorts in the defense of demons. Xarius takes note of this and gives the woman a curious look, though he'd not ask for specifics, as this was not the time to be discussing life stories. Needless to say it was clear that she had caught his eye, her ability to wield fire so proficiently that not even the spells placed on the cells were efficient enough to stop her. It was, interesting to say the least, the situation he found himself in. So long as they got along long enough to escape, was all that mattered, and thus far none of them seemed particularly interested in picking a fight with him, so as long as they didn't he had no problem in getting along with them. After all, while his previous position would have had him hunting down many of the members of their group, and while he was confident his training, and his equipment could have him down any in the group that chose to turn their aggression against the other members, he'd technically been kicked out, as such he'd have no higher ups to explain why he chose to work alongside such individuals.<br/><br/>Shaking his head clear of the thoughts running through it, Xarius nods to Delia once she's directed her attention to him. It was true what she said, he likely was the most experienced member when it came to combat and training. While he was no were near the top of his order, next to a civilian he had leagues more experience under his belt. While he was aware some of those around him had fought, and in Aron's case killed before, sinking a knife into someone's back, or a one on one scuffle was much different from any organized confrontation. It appeared that he would have to take up the role as leader in this escape.. and perhaps it was best, as he'd rather be in control of his fate, than to leave it to any of the others assembled. Standing tall in the dimly lit hallway, Xarius' body would radiate confidence as he responds to the succubus. "You'll be plenty useful Delia, just as Mona shall, and she can't even use most of her abilities from what I am told, lest we risk setting the whole ship on fire. I trust you both to use your discretion when unleashing your powers, a little scorching is fine, and a broken beam here and there won't hurt, so long as the ship does not go down before it can safely see us to land." he nods to the red headed woman respectfully, having already conversed with her in her cell about such things. "As far as the plan goes, you are right, a few mortals shouldn't be a problem and even though I am not armed with my weapon of choice, I don't foresee many of the guards to pose to much of a threat by themselves... Even so, we have to be careful in our execution, we've limited numbers,and limited resources each and every one of us is important to our success, and I expect you all to look out for one another despite any differences you may have once we're out there." he explains scanning the group as a whole with his cat like hazel eyes. "Our plan shall be as follows, We leave out the main exit, Chira and I shall take point, Garth, if you'd follow behind, while the two beautiful ladies make up the rear." the catboy pauses to shoot the pair a charming little smile "and don't you worry, if we both survive this I'll make good on my promise." he adds pausing to take in the sight of Delia's body, clad in her tattered attire. Aron can fill in where he's most comfortable." he pauses, looking in the direction, the now invisible drow was once standing. " be that scouting ahead, watching our backs, or sticking close to the front so he can jump in when the opportunity permits." Xarius explains, not particularly fond of the drow being invisible, but he would trust in him not to squander the boon that Delia had bestowed upon him. Yet at the same time he wasn't about to make him a crucial part of their escape plan, by relying on him successfully scouting ahead either.<br/><br/>"We'll storm the ship section by section, spreading like wildfire, clearing out each room as we go, and collecting any and all equipment we can make use of. With any luck we'll have overthrown the ship before the higher ups can muster an organized defense. Yet by equipping ourselves as we go, we'll be better prepared to tackle such an obstacle by the time we get there." Xarius calmly strides down the middle of the hall, his tail swishing side to side with every step that he takes making eye contact with each member of his party in turn. "Know that once we exit this door there is no going back. If we fail, and they catch us, it's unlikely we'll get a second chance at this, unlikely that we'll even live. If that scares you, your welcome to stay here in your cell. Know though that if things go too badly, however.." he pauses as he steps in front of Mona, reaching out to place a warm hand firmly on her shoulder. "I'm going to give you the order to bring the whole ship down around us. I'd rather see myself at the mercy of the ocean, than have my fate decided by the very guards we attempted to overthrow."  With that said he gives the woman a knowing grin, assuming she'd have no qualms in being able to let loose entirely should their attempt to escape be halted.<br/><br/>"Now then, anyone have any questions or need to make any last minute preparations before we begin?" he makes one final announcement, turning to face them all, only several feet away from the door. He perks his feline ears, one swiveling towards the door, while the other towards his allies, giving them ample time to speak up and do what they needed. Once he was satisfied they could go, Xarius motions to Chira, drawing his recently acquired sword, and proceeding out the main exit.
