Malkai snorted as the dwarf and elf chastised the knight about her desire to be prepared. However he himself took some offense, since through her, they mean to call him a coward as well. [color=00a651]"Do not mistake my caution for cowardice, fool. Greater warriors than you have been defeated by mundane disease and weather due to their recklessness. But feel free to join the ranks of the dead, if that's your sole desire. I don't intend to follow your example."[/color] His trip over to Saphire resulted in the death of many young and foolish outsiders who thought their experience against foes would allow them to conquer things such as a deathly cold night, or sweltering heat. Malkai would have been one of them if he didn't wise up and prepare accordingly. That being said, he was surprised to see that the knight had not already taken into account her own provisions. Malkai simply wanted information. He had his own ways to gather supplies.

Calling back for his bird, Malkai spoke to the create in a low voice. Those who'd bother to eaves drop would not recognize the language, not unless they knew druidic. It sounded simply like incoherent grumbling, directed towards the falcon. Soon it flew off to do as Malkai commanded. The half-orc didn't have much gold to spend either, just 50 in his purse, but he did spend it on such things as additional healer's kit, as well as holy water and parchment. If the mages guild has yet to investigate the ruins, than there could be knowledge that Malkai could use for his own benefit. Not to mention possible treasures that the mage guild wouldn't know was there; all they wanted was the Chalice after all. Surely they wouldn't notice or care if a new magical rings or weapons were also "lost".

If by some point the ground finally managed to get near the exit of the city, they'd find three camels with Falchion sitting on a post them them. Had were already saddled and seemed to be waiting for them. Malkai quickly mounted onto one and spoke quickly to the others. [color=00a651]"Let's be off quickly. The owners of these beast will come looking for them. Two of you will have to share, or join the dwarf."[/color] Falchion rested on top of Malkai's head once more, looking rather proud for freeing and convincing these camels to come and assist them.
