Illistrianna only nodded in agreement as an answer for Taimane's statement, not wanting to drag on the subject long enough with a Lycan already known in the group. If all goes well, and that was her wishful self hoping, maybe this Lycan was different than the others. Maybe he had joined the group to actually do some good for the world. But she didn't had much hope so far, the smell of blood and death was fresh on the Werewolf descendant.

The young Elf got distracted from her thoughts when she heard Malakaus speaking, asking for who was in charge. Initially, a woman in the back, one she had not seen yet, stepped in and assumed to be the leader. Illistrianna was puzzled by the directives she had been giving. Raiding the trees and jumping off a cliff? What was she supposed to mean by raiding trees? Were they to climb up and find giant leaves so they could glide down the cliff towards their next goal?

Just as she was about to raise her hand for a question, three new individuals had been climbing the hill to join the adventuring party. They seemed to be important people, at least one of them, for the man leading the trio was dressed in regal garments, while the other two following behind were dressed as servants. Illistrianna couldn't help but notice the vast amount of map cases the servants were carrying. 

The priestess listened intently to what the newcomers had to say. She even blushed at the thoughts she nearly made a fool of herself by thinking the lady earlier who faked being the quest organizer. Although she had been traveling a lot in Naviance for the past decade, she never really got a good grasp of the kingdom's monetary values. All she had bought were traveling supplies and renting inn rooms. Considering both were quite cheap, 5000 gold pieces sounded a lot to her, when calculating the amount of supplies they could buy, or the number of days they could stay in a inn.

When it came for questions, it looked like everyone had a question about the quest itself. While there were many things she would've wanted to ask, she would not want to delay the journey. The most intriguing question she could think of was the the journey in itself, but the reason behind it.

[color=6ecff6]"Pardon my rudeness, but I may have a question. from what I have been hearing, rumors and such, I've heard talks of an illness that caused your good king's health to falter. Has the possibility of a curse been suggested so far? It wouldn't be strange for such strong magic to emulate the ailments of a disease that could not be identified."[/color]
