Gritting his teeth into a smirk, Malkai had to admit this halfling was braver than the usual shorties he dealt with. usually his very presence was more than enough to have them pissing on themselves. This halfling however kept her composure and made sure to point out his orcish features to make even the stable hands, who Malkai didn't worry about at first, pay him some mind. Not that he was worried that he couldn't fight his way out of the city, but that wasn't what he wanted. Still... It wasn't as if the halfling wasn't offering something he didn't want either. So he shook her hand. [color=00a651]"You drive a hard bargin. My name is Malkai."[/color]

The bard listened carefully as Kalista explained her reasons for being here. Whimsy was as good as any, though it seemed that she had her own goal in mind. Heading northward it seemed. Veridis would have asked, perhaps even offered to help, but he was savvy enough to know that it was far too soon and this quest far too personal for a complete stranger like Veridis to ask something like that. He might be able to eventually, but not now. [color=7ea7d8]"I see. I wish you luck then. Now, let's get started shall we?"[/color] As the two entered the archives, Veridis dropped a few silvers into an offertory box, getting a small bow and pray of thanks from the attendant there.

Veridis took a quick look at the libraries index to help find what they're looking for. [color=7ea7d8]"Let's see... Let's look through the Geography and Religion section. Geography would allow us to get a lay of the lands around the ruins and Religion can help us figure out more about Nerull and his temple. We only have about half an hour before we need to meet back with the others, so we'll have to read quickly. Which subject will you research?"[/color]
