Anu'din nodded, his curiosity sated for the moment. "[b]Better to be safe than sorry, as the saying goes. Thank you for answering my questions. I believe I will go and find Karu now.[/b]" 

With that, the majin turned about and headed toward the merchant in the guild. He gave a quick rundown of the equipment he would need: a 5 liter drum, straps and bolts, flexible heat resistant tubing, and plenty of scrap metal. Anu'din had just enough money to purchase the items, thanks to the discount. The order would be ready in a few minutes; it gave time for Anu'din to head back to the tavern and find himself a particular black dragon. 

Entering the tavern, he quickly spotted Karu by a table off to the side. As politely as he could, he grabbed a chair and pulled up to the table. 

"[b]Hello. I hope I am not intruding, but I had a question regarding the trip tomorrow. Mostly, I wish to know more about what sort of experimental weaponry we will be testing out at the site. I've spoken to Alan and I have a fairly good idea of the trouble we might run into. The weaponry is the only unknown variable of the situation, and I wish to know more.[/b]"
