Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

Cora means Max could take on everyone physically, but a like any good adventuring parties, quite a few of them have indirect powers, or things like crowd control debufs, or can turn into mist, or just cast crazy ritual magic with all kinds of oddball effects. Even so, Max's speed could probably mitigate most all of that. Cora wasn't doing a deep tactical analysis, just trying to get everyone to understand why she has confidence in her scheme. 

I'm sure I've heard the name Destra somewhere, but I can't pluck it from the pinkish-gray folds I keep most of my stuff in. It's probably an evil My Little Pony or a Rule 34 G.I. Joe's Destro in an adult gender-swapped comic I definitely accidentally stumbled across a decade ago. You know how the internet is, always throwing those Rule 34 adult comics at you. I guess I don't have to specify "adult" if it's Rule 34. Anyway, Destra is the big demon chick. I'm sure most of you would have guessed that. Celestabelle is obviously the angel girl with the guitar, and Destra doesn't really sound like a Valkyrie's name. I guess the blue demon chick could have been Destra, but Destra is a brawler's name. Blue looks more like a, uh... I don't know, alchemist? Or maybe someone with a bunch of wands strapped to the small of her back. Javelina could be the Valkyrie, if it was pronounced with a hard "J," but in this case it's pronounced as an "H." I guess her half-orc side is Hispanic. Or, some other nationality tied to a language that pronounces J's as H's. Like who the heck knows what Undercommon sounds like? I always assumed it involved a lot of consonants and that "hock a loogie" sound that some Middle-Eastern languages have. I guess that would also be a consonant? But maybe Undercommon is a romance language that sounds closer to Castillian Spanish than someone cursing in German cause they just slammed a door on their thumb.  

Probably everyone in that room thinks they could eek out a victory against everyone else, maybe assuming favorable conditions. That doesn't mean they don't recognize Gaxgy as probably the biggest threat physically, and are over him reminding everyone about it. Modesty is his dump skill. 

Javelina lacks that particular adventurer confidence, even though she's smart and a curiously powerful mage. She's one of those adventurers because she repeatedly finds herself in the position of being able to help, but is far from an adrenaline junkie.
