If Morgan saw any irony in her desire for short communication then her very long plan, she didn't show it. Loren's question was a sensible one, one she could answer: "There is another entrance, but this will be the best for our purposes. From this entrance the majority of the mine heads downhill and underground, so water will easily flow in. The other entrance leads to stairs." It was a small detail, but one that would ultimately make their job a lot easier.
Thankfully Peter knew how to follow an order and went off to scout right away, coming back with information: She turned to listen to Loren's suggestion, opened her mouth to say she thought if they all advanced well enough, they likely could take the guards--when Zariah rushed forward to attack. This immediately curled Morgan's lip, the Captain glaring as the lightning came crashing down; the Guard holding the pole arm seemed to accidentally have been able to use it to draw the electricity, dropping it before it reached his body - the other was not so lucky, falling to the ground and convulsing with shock.
"As Ingrid says, it would appear Zariah thinks her job is rushing ahead with no concern for the consequences." In no particular rush, Morgan drew her sword and began to advance towards the fight. "In making this decision I suppose she has forced our hand." The Captain did not care for rash action nor did she care for the Archmage's attitude on her mission. Still, the guards were very much aware of them now, so there was no helping it. "Attack at will."
This said, she advanced towards the guard with the dropped polearm, sword drawn.
