I prepare myself as best I can, though as had already been discussed my plan was to stay back and away from the fight while giving support to my companions as I say with a chuckle, "As ready as I'll ever be, lets do this." Already I was thinking on which performance I would try to use, as well consider if I should use my lute that I had been given or my words.

*For the moment, I don't draw anything. However, I had been using my Quarterstaff as a walking stick.* "Trial by fire, one of the many ways a warrior angel can gain their wings. That's something from Xena: Warrior Princess. But it feels right for this time as well." *I look to the cave knowing I am probably not as strong as the others but am ready to be tested by the gods.* 'I hope a god is watching, because I don't feel this would be worth it otherwise.'
Specific Action: Sense I have been using my Quarter Staff as a walking stick, I adopt the willow stance I was taught during that 5 min knock out. It's the staff style I was practicing back in town. I was also using Tai Chi then to meditate and practice its form as well.
I stop for a bit and survey the area, "Okay, so we know they know we're coming. They have to figure that we're the same group that killed sixteen of their number last time. I'd give even odds that there's a volley of ranged weapons waiting for us at that cave mouth. Dennis, this is your field, but I presume we need to approach from an oblique angle, and find some way to waste or overwhelm their preparations. Any ideas?"
I think, "I'm afraid that cave will allow the an excellent field of view. Does our Druid have anything that would inhibit their view? We could hug the sides and throw in burning oil, that might mess with their vision for a a few seconds, maybe enough time to get off a few shots and close with them." I look at Rachel to see if she has any spells that might help.
I shrug. " I can summon something to help. Maybe an eagle or wolf. They could charge in and draw fire and we follow..'" I glance at the others to see what they think. "
Out of Character: : Druids have fog cloud which would help. I forgot to prepare any spells besides cure wounds but I can always summon animals. Sorry guys. .
