Tara comes strolling back into the dome room after a little over THREE hours. She's not wearing her mask, it's in her hand.. and she looks at you all and shouts "You obstinate wankers!"
She glances around at each of you..
"Birtwood did not like being underground.. He mentioned several times he wanted sunlight.. but you couldn't be torn away from your shiny portal to even give him some peace.. Except for you Vult.. You actually helped him by tending his wounds. All the rest of you just wanted to plop down and not give a damn about him and only think of yourselves."
Tara glares at all of you and continues..
"Birtwood is now with his people.. My suspicions have been confirmed.. The Steadfast IS under major attack and are marshaling everyone to the defense of the realm. I'm willing to go through the portal with you now that I *know* my loves ones are not completely defenseless. The invasion goes even into other territories: Navarene, Thaemor, even Iscobal. Furthermore, Birtwood has promised me that they will let the Aeon Priests know of the location of this portal.. Hopefully they can figure more out and perhaps find the infiltration points that seem to be all over the Steadfast... They are causing a lot of damage and unrest as they hunt and kill for Numenera. So now, if I get stuck on the other side of that portal in a foreign land, I can feel some pride that I've done my duty. I still think we should secure this side of the portal, by checking the other path we haven't checked in these caves.. but I'm willing to do something only marginally tactically stupid if you all insist on not doing it."
With that, Tara puts her mask on.. grabs her sword-staff.
"Well? What now."
