Tia's jaw dropped open when she saw the three huge snakes coming out of the baskets. The first thought that came to her mind was poison. She hoped one of the others had an antidote for snake venom because she certainly didn't possess anything like that. Maybe Argus could cure poison with his magic mumbo jumbo, but he looked a bit drained from the previous battle. "Are you feeling all right?" she asked, edging closer to the cleric, while readying her throwing knives. Before he could answer she sent her blades flying into one of the snakes that was advancing. "YES!" she cried when the ugly thing collapsed to the ground. It wasn't quite dead yet, but it would be a simple matter for someone with a sword in their hands to finish it off.

When Tia saw two knives fly pass her to sink into the eyeballs of the remaining snake, she turned to see Ravin grinning. "Not a bad shot," she quipped. Obviously the notorious thief was no longer bothered by the cold spell the lich had cast on him. Tia turned her violet eyes back to the handsome cleric. "You and that mace of yours looked pretty impressive in the other cavern. It seems like you have a lot of experience battling undead. Did you go off adventuring much on your world? I just got into it a couple weeks ago when I met Rowan in a nearby city believe it or not."

She brushed some stray strands of her fly away hair from her face then pulled the wineskin from her belt and took a drink. With a coy smile on her face she held it out to Argus. "Want some? Or are you one of those religious fanatics who thinks liquor is evil?"
