"I have a feeling that whatever answers we will be getting about this world and these cities will be coming from others, not Ascar," Vera-Kin comments, looking about curiously at their untouched environment. As with everyone else, she tries to sense her surroundings to see if anything appears to her. "You are a most secretive man, Ascar..."
Xeth is going to assume that Ascar is leading us into some sort of elaborate trap and bring pretty much every weapon he could possibly bring. Sonic grenade launcher, sonic blaster, pike, and lightsaber.
"I'll take point," Xeth says. "Vlad, with me. We'll make sure there ain't anything creepy or crawley ahead that I'm not related to."
-
Xeth and Vlad should take the lead because we're the Athletes and have talents for physically exerting work like climbing up a bit of mountainous terrain. This way we can make sure we're not running into trouble... and additionally, Xeth gets to see whatever it is we're here to see first!
Vera-Kin is prepared in that she has her wits and her lightsabers and her pistol, but she is nowhere near as paranoid as Xeth about Ascar being with them. She thinks he is being genuine with us, trying to help. Part of her is thinking that Ascar might be helping because Kara is destroying precious historic sights in her lust for artifacts. Wishful, possibly.
Wentar will follow closely behind Ascar, following Xeth's request of keeping an eye on him, but at the same time fairly interested in the man's history. Wentar doubts Ascar would send them on a wild goose chase this day, with us being his only way out here there should be something worth finding to hold up his end of the bargain.
At Gallagher's words Andro stops in his tracks and puts a staying hand on Argo's shoulder. So it is a trap, then, He thinks to himself before calmly unclipping his lightsaber (but not lighting it) and signaling for his Padawan to do the same. "Be ready, but don't make any aggresive moves yet until we know they are necessary." he instructs in a low voice.
"Gallagher, what do you sense?"
(What does Andro sense, for that matter?
Hopefully, it's just curious natives?)
