His eyes are wide, trying to understand what one of the ratfolk, usually criminals and thieves, was doing here in the heart of Torch. He had half a mind to draw his weapon and call for the town guard to help him run the beast out of town. They were barely more than animals, after all, the way they snuffled and were covered in hair. And everyone knew that they were among the worst carriers of diseases that were barely-welcomed into most establishments--it was bad luck to have one of the ratfolk enter your place, everyone knew that, for your serving people would quickly catch something and die, as would your customers, and rats would be left to gnaw at the empty stools...<br/><br/>He was barely able to hide his disgust but somehow managed, repressing the urge to pull back as the snout moved closer to his body, sniffing at him. "...Charmed. I'm sure," he said tonelessly, and deigned not to shake her hand. The times when she clambered over him as the night moved along he stayed still and did his best not to breathe in lest he catch whatever disease she was carrying. He tried to catch Val's eyes a time or two to see if she shared his misgivings about their new... companion, and desperately tried to find Corrag or Kythera to beg them to return if only so he could have an excuse of having enough people in the party so as to not need Ryssa but to no avail.<br/><br/>At Rakah's words he startled, having barely noticed the other woman. He wondered what hole they had dragged<em>her</em>out of, and if they were that desperate for people that they had started to recruit common bandits and mountain-men to join the expedition. "Didi...?" he mouthed the word in question, wondering if the woman was half-mad as well as unkempt, for she did not seem to be like any druid he had ever met. Still, at the very least, she was human... or very close to it, as something of the way she looked and moved seemed to be decidedly inhuman in origin. But he would let it be for now. He was in no mood for playing or guessing games after the death they had witnessed below the city, and wished to be left in peace tonight with his own thoughts.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The next morning things looked a little better... until he remembered the new companions. He wondered yet again where the other two had gone, but not seeing them anywhere nearby left him with little choice. He stayed well away from the skunk, not wishing to get sprayed this morning, and decided that perhaps he had been wrong; Rakah must be a druid of some sort, which would explain her appearance and her animal companion. Still, he had never heard of any druid taking a skunk for a companion. He wondered if she had ever been sprayed on accident, and quickly hid a grimace of having to be in such close proximity to something with the ability to produce such a bad stench.<br/><br/>At the offer of a weapon, Arafel nodded, and requested a greatsword before leading the others back down the caverns. "Well, looks as though we have a fight on our hands. Try not to get hurt as best you can," he tells Ryssa and Rakah, trusting Val to weather whatever comes as he moves forward to press the attack.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Morningstar attack 10, damage 11 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4782305/)</div></div>
