"I would just like to add, should you find any traps mechanical in nature. Would you allow me to inspect them first? I expect the ranger among us to detect some, if not most before they're activated. In a sense it should be mentioned that I have an interest in studying devices, or matters of the natural philosophies. Eer.., I believe the modern way of saying it would be I like to 'research' the 'sciences' whenever possible."[/color]

Claudia frowned as she saw the Death Knight raising up the dead as his allies. As Robert, he would absolutely have 0 problem with it, for one, it was a game, second, he actually liked playing summoners from time to time, and he definitely had a great time playing a necromancer in another game.

But he was not Robert Holden at this moment. He was Claudia, the fallen paladin, who had to harden her heart to do evil deeds in exchange for saving her fief and its people. But even while doing the bidding of an old god, her distaste of evil, in this particular moment, necromancy, that disturbed the spirit of the dead, remained. And so, without prompting, acting the role of Claudia, Robert's face scrunched up, the distaste clear in his face.

Then a moment later, he schooled his expression, turning it to a neutral one.

For the character Claudia Solaria von Gatriel knew that distaste at such a notion for the current her was nothing but hypocrisy. After all, she had perpetrated far greater evil for the old go, saying nothing of the evil those in her guild perpetrated, some of which was only possible with her assistance.

Robert then turned his attention to the Automaton summoned by Goibnu. In a reverse of the previous summon, Robert did not really care for automatons and artificers in a fantasy setting, to him, it ruined the 'ambience'. But Claudia was different she appreciated artificers and what they brought, their inventions allowing even those who lacked magic to have a semblance of what magic users might do, a way to better their lives. In particular, the automaton was something she saw great promise in. If in the future automaton army would became the norm, that would lesser lives would be lost, for the human soldiers would be replaced by constructs such as automatons.

And so, Claudia let out a small smile, before giving a nod of appreciation.

As the discussion turned to a matter of splitting up the party, Claudia spoke in agreement to Elian, [color=fff200]"Indeed. There is an old adage that I think would apply here, never split the party. I also agree that we should take our time and make sure we've explored this floor in full. There might be worthwhile treasures or such."[/color]
