When it's suggested that the party try to quietly skirt the edge of the nest simply by staying pressed against the southern wall, Jessie frowns as she does a double-take looking ahead down the passageway and estimating the distances, which is one of her fortes' having spent a lifetime sneaking in and out of tight spaces.

Holding up the advance momentarily, the diminutive Halfling whispers, "You'll never make it past their nest. That space is only about ten feet wide at the choke point and half of that is occupied by worker ants. You'd be right next to them; Only a couple feet away, and I can guarantee you that they will defend the eggs and queen to the death. To them, you'll either be considered an intruder or food."

"I believe we either have to fight, somehow render them unable to move, or simply go around them. Perhaps we could follow the unexplored passage with the small stream. It might be a viable alternative to go around the nest," she politely suggests in the same hushed tone. "However, if we do fight them, then it will have to be done quickly, because there won't be just these two ants."

"There might be more ants on the other side of the nest which we can't see, plus we know for sure another group of ants is out hunting in the nearby passages and could be drawn back to the nest by the commotion or even scent of battle, possibly trapping us between foes in front and then enemies directly behind," she adds with true concern, especially given the fact that much of the magician's powers, including curative spells, were nearly spent for the day.

Nonetheless, Jessie won't try to stop anyone from trying their luck at dangerous game of 'Russi-Ant Roulette' and instead the tiny burglar likewise hangs back with her loaded fancy short bow in hand, using the corner of the cavern as partial corner and concealment as she watches and listens for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual, especially for the other group of ants that might approach from the side or rear flanks while her colleagues watch the nest.

If anyone tries, she simply adds in a soft, sincere voice and stands ready to provide cover fire if needed, "Good luck and be careful!"
