Without so much as a blink or facial expression, James responds to Vinoh's question
"Why would an assassin come to the Tomb of Velix? I have been sent to see that the creature who attacked my homeland shall not return to cause us more harm. That is what I was sent to do, I will accomplish the task or die trying. I hope for my sake and for the people of my homeland that the latter is not the result."
Discarding the stern, serious expression, James returns to his less serious and more informal mannerisms.
"You also asked about my methods of dealing with the undead. In my experience, they quite vlunerable to fire, and I have come prepared."
Reaching into his bag, Jmes retrieves a small flask of oil. He applies a small amount to a wooden strip along the dull edge of his shortsword. Placing the flask back into the bag, he takes some flint and steel, and ignites the oil. He makes a few swings and stabs into the air, then allows the fire to burn itself out before sheathing the sword. He shows a bit of a smile as he speaks again, in an amused, almost joking tone of voice.
"I also find that almost anything will stop moving if you cut it into enough pieces."
