"Even if there are skeletons, from the tales I've heard most human ones are weak as long as they don't have a mind controlling them. I'd much prefer being able to sever their connection to whatever power animates them, but barring that, we can simply destroy them, through firepower or through more... mundane means," he adds distastefully, looking pointedly at Roland's weapon.<br/><br/>"It should be a simple job, and again, think of the treasure we could get. Wouldn't you like to get a nice new shiny... sword?" he asks uncertainly, half certain that this would be something that guardsman might want, but not entirely sure of the wants of the common fighter. "Plus, I'm certain that I'm close to deepening the source of my power. There's ... something in my blood," he says in a lower tone. "I don't know where it came from. Perhaps it's from being part of Ameiko's family, or something else, but I can feel something within me moving, restless to escape. It's there. I just need to dig a little deeper and test my spells against worthy foes. If I can just do that, I'm sure I can grow by leaps and bounds. And I'm certain your own skills will improve from having actual opponents to sharpen yourself against, rather than just... training dummies," he waved a hand dismissively at the training regiment the town guard used.<br/><br/>"Regardless, as long as we've decided to set out, we should do so as soon as we're ready. It's too late to go out tonight, and while I can see fine by moonlight, I'd rather we were all at our most rested before we begin the journey. So let's set out at first light towards where Beaver saw the shipwreck." He made to stand up from his chair as he looked at the others. "Prepare yourselves, gather whatever you need, and let's meet at dawn at the town gate before we head out," he declares, getting ready to make his own preparations and get some rest before the coming day's travels.
