Lara flushed slightly and absently touched her flat belly, The only reason why she wasn't with child as well was the fact that she was unable to bare children thanks to a childhood illness. Such things were probably for the best as the search for the mushrooms was likely a cottage industry that would all but garrentee an expanding population... and no few very happy women. She couldn't help but smile to herself at the memory of the three brothers and the particular effect that the mushrooms had on the male anatomy... With the softest of sighs, she forced her thoughts back to the conversation at hand.She wanted to growl at the repeated demand that the temple be reclaimed but held her tonue on the matter. She silently agreed with the really vital argument, that the temple was outside of their jurisdiction and a raid into the south bank could be disasterous if the bandits believe themselves the focus of a concerted effort.<br/><br/>Finally, she stood, and nodded to the newcomers, "If I may offer a few words on the options..." She met the eyes of each of the newcomers, "An expedition to take and hold the temple may be outside of our current capabilities. It is a minimum of a 3 day round trip and the dream clearly implies that it may be in the hands of the Stag Lord... the antlered part gives me this idea. The Bandits are, for the moment, disorganized and may not be able to regroup before winter. On the other hand, the spider is an immediate threat to the arriving farmers and tradesmen who must move about the region... I've seen the spider and it will not remain where it is for long. Food will become too much of an attraction with more people and farm animals in the area... and one spider may become several dozen if it finds, or has a mate... In my eyes, that is the greater danger at this time."<br/><br/>She toook a breath that did interesting thing to her well worn but well made tunic, "I will, of course, follow the decision of this body, but I must offer my thoughts."<br/><br/>She settled back down and watched for what the three newcomers would say or do.
