Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Odd," the young mage mumbled to herself with curiosity bvefore realizing she had yet to relay the information to her allies. "Oh sorry," she said before telling her companions what she had found.

Kal thought intently as Selce relayed the message. Tjaden almost echoing his thoughts. He had not observed the enemy himself, nor was the glowing eye exactly stealthy, but the enemy had noticed the tiny object sooner than it could see them, which was a feat in and of itself. "Do you recognize the territory described?" he asked the elven woman. It was a tough decision to make, especially as Kal had never been the 'leader'. Far as responsibility goes, this was his first time in this position. He would like to attack them, as that was the simple route, and given their current group, most likely the only decision they had, but... he had the fleeting and slowly solidifying thought of teaming up with the elven lady to scout ahead and start the fight in thier favor. Bypassing the two that had noticed the small eye would be highly improbable, especially in the case that they were now on guard... But they could at least be smart fighters.

Thorifin chuckled softly at the human. "I like your line o' thinkin'," he added. He would highly prefer fighting in the light, on thier terms, rather than the darkness on thier terms. Besides, why fight in the dark without the honor of showing the men who they're dieing to?

Kal was still waiting on the woman's response, but the group was getting riled up for a direct assault on the two, most likely, assassin's trained in the art of darkness. "No," he quickly inserted at them. "We can't go head first, light blazing, or we're as good as dead. When we're in, we can light up and fight, but our entrance needs to be silent and dark, if that option is available," he replied. He rubbed the sinus region of his nose for a second. They were all less intelligent in stealth, but he'd hoped one of them may know that all lights create shadows. If they go in with light, they will rely on sight, and therefore will be doomed by the shadows they create. He awaited for the elven woman to respond. If they did decide on a direct assault, they would need to form teams of two to cover each other's back, and that was his second option in this dilemma.

((I would totally post an idea I've got but I'm not sure it will work so I need Tonas to confirm.))

((I was thinking more along the lines of localized light bursts, but okay, lets save the idea for the "tougher" fights.))

Erron frowned, another dead-end, they did not know whether or not they were dealing with an enemy with good night-vision, sensitive to light or simply relying on good hearing, he picked up a pebble and played with it idly, catching it and tossing it up into the air.

"Well, we have to do something, for a stealth approach we either have to take everything out along the way, disable it or avoid it" He whispered, "maybe we should start at that, how we intend to proceed?"

Kal looked down at the ground on the expected, but unpleasant answer. "Well, that sounds like a decent plan. Let's continue forward, but everyone bend your knees and get as low as you can to the ground. Sneak softly and focus on trying to make your feet silent for each step. Like touching water and making no ripples," he explained and described. He lead the way, keeping his eyes open for traps and for the enemy.

Thorifin nodded to the decision, even if it wasn't his personal favorite. It wasn't his group to lead, his time of leadership had been earlier. Now, his duty was to follow and protect. He bent his knees, though walking with his knees bent was new to him, and pressed onward, trying to focus on his feet and feel the ground before placing his foot on the ground. He tried to imagine the water example and it helped slightly.
