Bildin leaned on his staff, surveying his surroundings. He didn't have a fondness for the elf, but the troll definitely made him uncomfortable, considering that the group was depending on said troll for any wounds they sustained, magical or not. He stared at the half-elf gathering firewood for a moment before raindrops started trickling onto his face from his hat. Gazing at the overcast and storm-ridden sky, he mumbled, "A dark and stormy night. All we need now is an evil monster and a damsel-in-distress." He chuckled, then remembered the monstrous imps ahead, which dented his humorous thought.
He closed his eyes and concentrated on the world around him. He could feel the earth through his innate closeness with the flow of magic, enhanced even further by power of his staff. Shuttering at the sheer size of the cave, he knew that the whole thing would need to be conquered before they left. Concentrating further, he noticed that the ground seemed to be made of limestone with some deposits of quartz. Odds are that they would be seeing some beautiful stalagmites and stalactites while they were dodging monsters. Monsters...
"All right," he shouted, opening his eyes, "who's going in first? I'd rather not be in front when the beasts charge," he said, unconsciously glancing at the tattooed troll.
