The situation was indeed stressful, but a little disunity among the party could quickly escalate if not checked. "I believe that we can agree that there are a myriad of good reasons for us to get to the surface quickly, and scant few for remaining here now that everyone is able to travel. Lydia, you seem to have a good sense for the environment. Unless Aravashnial is familiar with this particular section of the caves -- and I unfortunately see no landmarks we could describe to help with that determination -- then I would ask you to choose an exit based on your instincts."<br/><br/>"Anevia, please let me assist you into the saddle. If the ceilings become much lower than we may need to reconsider, but for now this will be our quickest option." Zanthus knelt by Bryanbar's side, cupping his hands to provide the woman an easier mount. If pride or other reasons prevent her from getting into the saddle, he is more than prepared to pick her up bodily and place her there.<br/><br/>He then took up sword and shield again, casting his familial blessing upon his shield until it shone with the light of the sun.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Using <em>light</em> ability on the shield.
