Marcus finds himself<em>enjoying</em>the attention. This was not what combat was for, in his limited experience. Combat was undertaken when necessary, in the defense of the city or when acting as the instrument of the Gods. Combat was not a thing to be done for the amusement of jaded spectators, and death was not an idle divertisement. Except... he still heard the call of the crowds, and he could still feel the thrum of the small conjurer's frame transmitted through the haft of his axe as he robbed the man of life. And it was not an unpleasant sensation at all.<br/><br/>He had been quiet as the others chose their next destination, content that his new compatriots, more familiar with such strange surroundings, would choose the correct path. He believed that he had proven his worth for the while, enough to be considered a part of the strange company even if his experience with otherworldly matters consisted of a few childhood fairytales. And so he finds himself in the home of a 'lich', a creature apparently constructed of bone, sinew, and not much else. Marcus was becoming inurred to strange appearances, yet this one was just slightly beyond his comfort zone. He found it difficult to meet the strange one's... well, not eyes, but whatever served the same purpose.<br/><br/>Still, the thing spoke well and justly, and seemed to offer a fair deal. And this talk of the 'Harmonium'... It resonated, at least a bit.<br/><br/>"I would learn more of this<em>Harmonium</em>, Sir Bao. Though I serve a God, both that God and I serve the Law above all, and I gather that your own... Is it 'faction'? ... is similarly inclined. But regardless of the religious affiliation, I feel that we would be well served to serve you in kind, and to help retrieve your lost members. We are not the most practiced of teams, having been thrown together by circumstance, but I feel we have the potential to become an organized and, I would hesitate to say, impactful force. We do seek a way off of this plane, and no better offer has presented itself or seems likely to do so."<br/><br/>Marcus leans upon the haft of his axe, unsheathed and head resting on the floor, as he struggles to deal with the obviously powerful being as an equal.<br/><br/><br/>
