[ if gideon were a person who had paid attention during her lessons, she would probably have had many insightful things to say on the state of the necromantic magic supposedly animating these dogs. however gideon being gideon, she struggles for something cool to say in front of the cool sword lady and manages: ]

Ain't they dead? Like, reanimated corpses? I don't know that they'd need to eat. The skeletons back home sure didn't.

[ gideon's longsword technique is actually a bit too brutal for dogs, she's used to smashing bones to pieces in order to keep them from getting back up again. mostly she's just holding her two-hander in case it's needed and also because she friggin' loves a chance to have her sword out. but a good kick is really all you need for the dogs, provided your legs and feet are armored proficiently, which gideon's are. ]

These are kind of a weird choice for a necromancer in my opinion, [ she says, as if she had a professional opinion. ] They're so squishy.
