The bard waits patiently, looking and listening for any signs of distress coming from the temple, any excited barks from the lizardfolk at the discovery of the elf. A scene playing through his mind where Alizome finds herself surrounded by towering blackscales, drug off into the temple and fed to the one of the Children of Rahasaak. Xarces heads forward along with the kitsune towards the temple, ready and eager to get back into combat should the need arise.<br/><br/>When Alizome does not return in a timely fashion his worry only escalates. "Well...either she's in danger, or this temple is much larger then we assumed it to be....." he comments looking out into the darkness before him. "Either way, I do not like the idea of her being left alone in there....if we begin a combat outside, that should at the very least make it easier for her to make it out with the defenders distracted..." Xarces states looking to the others for possible objections. "I can fly and set Shaklik on a nice pillar or some such area from which she can shoot poisoned arrows into any defenders we may encounter...." he informs the others as his first priority if combat where to happen was to ensure shaklilk would be free from any harm. "We may get to see how well you can take a punch sooner then expected." he comments with a grin looking over at the two new members, eager to see just what the two could do.
