Thankfully Vivian came by to talk some sense into the fighter before she inevitably got herself killed. Taking it upon herself to lead the party through for any more traps, Malkus made sure Catarina didn't panic and run off by standing in front of her. It was a long walk to the end of the stairs and eventually they did indeed find the chalice... And someone else. Some sort of ghostly creature in this sacrificial chamber. This ghost told them what this chalice did and admittedly it did sound rather powerful, even if Malkai already had an idea of what it could do by it's name alone. The spectre said that they could take it, but he doubt things would be that easy.

Sure enough when Vivian took the chalice, the room began to collapse. [i][b][color=00a651]"Shit."[/color][/b][/i] Malkus said sharply. The first thing he did was touch Catarina and gave her a spell. [color=00a651]"Long Strider!"[/color] This spell would increase Catarina's movement speed, which she'd likely need in that heavy armor. Malkus could run just fine even in his hide armor, and he had no doubts that Vivian was fleet of foot. Still Malkai waited for Vivian to pass him so that he could cover their backs, knowing that they'd need some extra help getting out of the ruined temple.

At this time, Falchion knew to leave when he heard the rumbling. He had stayed up where Jarvis was and picked at his body, nabbing a few more baubles from his corpse. When it was time to leave the falcon had no trouble flying through the halls and rooms and leaving through the entrance the party first used to get in.
