[color=92278f]Vivian Bloodmoon[/color] Vivian obviously had a lot on her mind at the moment. Every time she tried to relax she kept thinking of the potion maker Cat introduced her too. Then the trace of thought was lost to the wind. The culprit was the halfling as he asked her a question. He asked what spells she was able to use and she looked up at the wagon's ceiling and then back to Parum. She reposition herself to the other side of the wagon so both could look at each other without turning fully around. [color=92278f]"Well I suppose it depends on the situation. See unlike wizards who depend on books my arcane knowledge is completely derived from my ancestors and knowledgeof the arcane. Basically I can cast a fireball, a lightning bolt, or a cold spell if I want to do some damage. Or I can help us see in the dark if we use up all our torches or I can create water like the cleric. I am not fully skilled though as some of the masters are where I come from though. My spells will help us a long the way though don't worry."[/color] She then looked to Veridis and noticed something... there were only three males on this mission. The half orc, the knight and then the bard. The bard being the most charming of the group when it comes to looks. The half orc... well can't judge him too much due to the mask but he does have the body. Back to the subject at hand though. She decided to indugle the halfling even further. [color=662d91]"What makes me unique though. Is my choice for a companion. Not going to spoil it but he is quite not what you would expect from an elf."[/color] She said as she patted her staff. Then the bard asked a question to all about what they would spend the money on. She never really thought of it actually. She really didn't care for it. She was doing this mission to build up a name for herself. So that people could trust her... but the half orc made her nervous. He wore that mask for a reason and it made her nervous. If the people of the surface would easily alienate a half breed despite the things he does... then what chance did she have as a drow elf. [color=662d91]"Well for starters... I suppose I would spend it on a permanent homestead here in Saphire. As much as I dont enjoy the heat. The place is rather interesting. Besides... I will stay here as long as I can."[/color] [i]As long as my kin will let me that is. If they come running after me then this wont be a good home to remain in.[/i] --------- [color=6ecff6]Alexander[/color] Alex listened to the conversations. Including the one between the elf and the halfling. Vivian and Parum where their names. The halfling was quite polite but then again most of the little bastards where. No offense to Parum of course but some of the ones he knew up north you didn't want to close to your purse or anything of value or it would be gone the moment you blink. Parum seemed she had some honor but you know what they say about theives... He shrugged and suddenly wanted to know what kind of companion the elf was talking about. He then noticed the onion knight... Catarina was her name. He pulled Fordes up right beside her. [color=6ecff6]"Were you a soldier too? Any of your battles take you up north?"[/color] He asked rather curious. He was then interrupted by a question by the bard that was meant for all of them. What would the spend the money on. He scratched his head on that one... the elf said something about making a place for herself in the city. That was a good one. Not the same as him though. Then again he didn't know... There was so much he could do but a good place for him and Fordes would be a good start. Then he looked down at his dire wolf. [color=6ecff6]"First things first going to prep this guy for the desert by giving him a shave..."[/color] He said. Fordes looked up and raised a brow and flopped a ear to the side. Alex laughed and patted him on the head. [color=6ecff6]"I am joking,... besides I don't think there is a groomer in that city that would be courageous enough to do it anyways."[/color] -------------- The conversations sprouted about the group, but they were not alone out on the sands. Falchion would have notified Malkai of dark figured moving through the sands towards the east. They were looking for something.... or perhaps someone. They had a lot of fur on them with the sand of the desert decorating them. Their snouts dark and black and they had rings around their eyes. They had paws as well.... they were Gnouls. Jackals that could walk on two legs. They had one simple mission and they were going to complete it. One sniffed the air and looked to the others. [color=9e0b0f]"I have the ones scent... she be close. I just hope this is worth it. Our contacts mentioned she was among some powerful friends."[/color]
