I looked around at the tired faces surrounding me, wanting to engrave them firmly into my mind.
"What do you think, how many of us will make it back alive after we charge in?"
A Dwarf thief I didn't recognize suddenly winked at me and asked a somewhat cryptic question.
"I don't know."
Not very talkative by nature, I honestly whispered back and countered, "What do you think?"
"Me? I don't know either."
He shrugged noncommittally at me and said in a carefree tone, "The more the better, of course, but even if we all die here, as long as we can completely exterminate those things, it's still a worthwhile deal."
I nodded gently in agreement with his thinking.
"I'm Bruce, Bruce Dice."
The Dwarf thief clad in a brown leather armor seemed eager to talk more, smiling familiarly, "Was helping out at the blockade line in Ina Town before, just got transferred here a few days ago, you can call me Dice."
