He’s there now, and rather… sticky.

Renee suggests, “As this is a mission for Gondor and we have a Knight of Gondor here, I think the answer to the serjeant is obvious at this point.” She pauses then continues, “I can maintain my light fairly bright and ready to flare up, let us hold this room until Mulligan and Theogrim and Deor return. If any are injured, we must all prepare to race out to their aid.”

Yeah, Brin’s sarcastic demeanour a shoe-in for the role, Thoroncir is far too enthusiastic for a sarjeant.

Well technically he should be the slightly clueless freshly made Lt that is in charge of this squad and Gil-Gandel and Gwaelur should be the experienced NCOs with Brin as the smart alec PFC or scouting specialist. Maybe think of the whole group as a SEAL squad. That would be especially appropriate for Thoroncir then.
Thanks - and you even provided a link to the article on the phrase “smart aleck.” Damn, you are a Doper!
And that makes me what, the crafty PFC who fashions a lockpick out of belly-button lint but otherwise hangs out in the background?
Think of the career opportunities!
I just hope no-one starts mentioning me as the lucky team mascot.

You mean like the animal that filches keys from the guards’ belts?
Better filching than felching.

The nickname Sergeant Jackrum keeps using in Monstrous Regiment for a clueless young officer is “rupert”. 
Heh - Thoroncir as a shavetail, huh?

Yes, and I figured you had nothing much to fear from spider venom either, what with your having been gifted double Dwarven resistance your saving throw can roughly be summarised as “Poison? What’s that?”.

Could be worse, at higher levels his poison save will probably be categorized as “Mmmm Tasty!”

“Ah, the crisp taste of bitter almonds! I’m glad we got this Alchemy Jug, or ‘condiment set’ as I like to call it!”
Too right. Hell, you’d think every tyrannical king would have a Dwarf taster in his great hall.

BTW: Wait until the party fights undead and realizes that you are nearly immune to life drains and Ghostly aging. They probably already know you are 90% resistant to sleep and paralysis.

Well Gwaelur is very abnormal, he has a double dwarven saving throw bonus and a 19 con. This gives him a +11 save vs poison and +10 vs. magic IRC.

Yeah, well Brin is immune to logic and reason, so there!

Yeah, right. What good’s a food taster who always says “Tastes great, and I feel fine - off you go, my liege”?
Well, he’d at least know it tasted a little funky, wouldn’t he? Or maybe that would just be an amusing bouquet!
