"Nobody carryin' a weapon, huh?" The monk smirks and looks over her shoulder at the halfling mage, wand in hand. "Well, I guess that makes us alright... I ain't ever seen you use a weapon, aside from yer spells, an' I just use my feet an' elbows. C'mon, lets go take a look down the left hallway."<br/><br/>If nothing else, Maria is glad that she checked this area out, simply because it lets her know without a doubt that there's more trouble up ahead. Not that she'd had any doubt to start with... but if her last encounter with the snakehead's "Guardians" was any indication, she's got a fairly good chance of meeting this new problem head on.<br/><br/>So, without a qualm or any sign of fear, she leads Lissu back into the main room... and then off down that dark passageway to the left, holding her enchanted stone high above her head to light the way.
