Topic: Champions versus Undead Contagion
Subject: Realization...
"Plan?" I made a face that I thought would reveal my dislike of the word. "All I was thinking was we would burn them as we come across them." I spoke in a melancholy voice.
I then walked over to the mage and handed him the gold he asked for. I then looked back towards the rest of the group. I calmed himself and prepared to speak. Just before the first syllable left my mouth, I thought better of it. I closed my mouth and rethought my words.
"Well, I guess I am not the most tactically inclined. I prefer the position of ranged support to those in combat. I will leave it at that and allow others to develop strategies."
I slumped down into the chair. My excitement had gotten the better of me. I knew how to handle combat. But I had never done that much of it. Especially nothing that required group tactics. My inexperience in this type of thing was starting to truly sink in.
Some of the rest of these adventurers appeared to be far more experienced in actual adventuring than me. I guess all I can really do is listen and hope I have fallen into the right group.

Subject: How good of a bargain?
I heard the Knight. I heard the Wizard. I heard the Monk.
The Knight was foolish. It was crazy to head out into the storm. Even with appropriate gear we would find ourselves in lots of trouble. He had no idea what I had up my sleeve. Or, at least I did not accredit him to be perceptive enough to catch my subtle hint.
The Wizard was a blessing. I would spend the money to save my energy. If it took more than a day I could always use my Endure the Elements power. But, for the first day I would have the energy to throw around some extra offensive power.
The monk was untrusting.
I turned to face the Wizard and the rest of the group. “The cold might not stop someone who can shield the cold out. But warmth still feels good; especially a warm meal, and that can keep a man out of the storm. Am I right friend?”
But not waiting for any actual response, I asked the question I did want the answer to, “would this price be for each of us or all of us? By all means I am not complaining sir, just understanding the deal before I agree to it.”
This could send us on our journey. We could be on our way in moments. This could be the beginning of tale worth taking home.

Subject: A Second Perspective
But how long could we wait before all the survivors were dead? It would not make as great of a story if the hero’s arrived too late to save the people. But it would make even worse of a story if the hero’s rushed in and died. I did not want to die. That would be bad. Almost worse than going home without having proven anything. Dying might be better than that.
I looked towards the door and imagined being stuck locked up in a house in the middle of a blizzard and surrounded by undead. I imagined how terrified I would be, how badly I would hope for help to come swiftly. I also let my mind wonder the kind of trinkets I might use to reward such help.
I then thought about the possibility looting bodies instead to find such trinkets. Then I thought about how those bodies would be walking. I thought how those corpses wouldn’t feel any emotion of happiness to see us; rather these moving pieces of flesh would try to tear us apart.
I decided that I much preferred the company of the living. These thoughts also began to shake my initial enthusiasm and confidence for this adventure.
“I feel that the greatest issue is knowledge. We need to know what we are delving into before we go charging in.” I looked out the window, imagining struggling through the wind, and my voice wavered. “But I am not keen on letting what survivors are left to die and add to the problem when they could be a safe place to rest instead. Who knows, they might even be decent company.” I tried to add jolly tone to my voice in the last sentence. It didn't work.
I sucked in a deep breath and tried to force more confidence into my voice. “I see your perspective Bogardine. But I vote to wait a few hours and glean what we can from the old man and then set out as long as there is light."
My voice was weak, there was no way they were going to buy it, I needed another selling point. "I do not think the cold will be a problem. I have my reasons to believe we will fair far better than the old man. I have ways of keeping the cold out of my bones.”
I was hesitating to look towards Bogardine, who had made his view about the storm clear enough. I hoped he did not feel I was trying to undermine him. His fists seemed well worn and dwarves are not well known for their patience. I was about to look back towards the group, but then I just decided to keep my eyes on the door and wait for a verbal response…

Subject: The Xeph
Cyrus, grabbing his cup of mead, moved toward the man and the rather well equipped dwarf that had approached him. He hesitated and glanced around the tavern. Then with a spring in his step closed the gap between him and the old man quickly.
“Don’t expect the man to speak sensibly without a drink and a warm meal, good dwarf. Barkeep! I need a bowl of stew, and make it good and hot, this man needs the warmth.”
As he spoke he shoved his drink into the man’s hands and began to lead the man to a table. He looked back over his shoulder and signaled the dwarf to follow as well.
“Sir, you must eat. I will take this quest and it looks like I have at least one companion in this fine dwarf. I would also bet if you can calm yourself and tell us a bit more of what has happened, we will not make the door without a few more companions in tow. ”
