Ground Rules

[malkav565]

As the group awakens, and begins to ready for the day, Adam stands and makes an announcement.

"With all due respect to each of our individual situations, there are some things we must discuss if we are to succeed as a group."

"I would call these 'ground rules', but that would only make the more rebellious of you want to do the opposite."

Adam smiles.

"Firstly and most importantly - let us not split up any more. I understand we may want privacy in times of stress, but we are in constant danger. Lean on a friend, tell a head-strong monk to silence himself - do whatever you wish. But do not leave the group."

"Personally, I will no longer follow. We have a mission - a sacred duty - to the gods and our loved ones to defeat the dragon armies. If you would risk or delay this mission, then I will go on my own."

"Secondly, we will need a combat leader. Preferably one with some tactical sense about them. I don't suppose we have a tactician here? Someone who can coordinate the talents of us as individuals?"

"It does not do to have the swords or fists unknowningly run into the line of arrows or spells."

Adam looks to Rin hopefully. Did they teach you any tactics in that school of yours?

[Question: Is this before or after Nine goes fetch for Sangrias? Otherwise, I'll just say it's before, and Sangrias is nowhere in earshot.]

Za'era listens quietly. What contradiction in the words of Adam lies.
On one side he does not want them to split but on the other side he threatens them to leave the group. She just shakes her head but decides to keep her opinion to herself this time. The drow had enough crap going on the day before. She looks up at Mishkaal and wonders whom of them will give up on Za'era first. Her hand rests on the statues feet for a moment then she starts to pack her things.

Rin looks deep in thought for a moment.

"No they did not, However my mother helped me develop some of the Kenku talent for group tactics."

Rin raises a claw.

"Does that means we have to hold each others hands when we umm... Use the bushes, or do we actually have to help the other person use the bushes? Cause personally if it a choice between the two I prefer the latter."

[malkav565]

"Your choice Rin. You made the mistake of volunteering."

Adam smiles wearily.

Sense Motive: 26

Adam sighs.

"That was not an invitation to leave. If the group was only big enough for one of us, I suspect I would be the one asked to leave."

Adam smiles.

"That was an invitation to stay through your pain. It is not safe for us to split up."

Rin nods.

"Helping then got it."

Tani perks up for a moment.

"I have to use the bushes. Could you help me Hun?"

Rin lightly pats Tani on the head.

"One no you don't and two I'm right there even if you go by yourself you know that."

Tani starts to pout.

"But you said...."

"Nevermind what I said it doesn't apply to you as we are always in each others minds. Besides your a crow not many people are gonna try to hurt you."

Rin chuckles and looks to the pouting Tani and smiles.

"Now who is gonna help me use the bushes?"
