Malakaus smirked at Jenso's compliment. Wasn't often he gets called a "Badass", though fortunately he knew what that meant. Badasses were tough, strong, or at least looked that way. Malakaus was glad that his look seemed to be working. [color=00a651]"Thanks, Jenso. Glad to have you on our side."[/color] Malakaus looked towards Illistrianna, who seemed to be the more popular of the duo. He couldn't blame her; she was more attractive then some rugged looking orc after all. And a priestess too. [color=00a651]"Popular one, ain'tcha?"[/color] Though Malakaus could sense a certain... Tension when people started noticing her glowing silver bracelet. Malakaus didn't pay it much mind when he first noticed, he figured it was just a quirky magic thing. Though Illistrianna explained it's purpose: it glowed when it detected the presence of vampires or werewolves. And since it was early in the morning with the sun coming up, Malakaus guessed there weren't any vampires in this party. So that left werewolves. There was obviously the lycan, who seemed werewolf enough. Though if Malakaus wasn't mistaken, most werewolves had fully human forms, not a constant hybrid. So one of the more normal members of the group was a werewolf. Perhaps one of party members giving Illistrianna so much attention? Well, it didn't matter to Malakaus. He had no issues with either of them unless they intended to kill him or anyone else for some reason, and that's more on the individual level than their kind as a whole. More importantly than that though, was the mission they are suppose to be on. [color=00a651]"Now, from my understanding we're to find a cure for the king. Do we have any leads to start with, or shall that be the first order of business?"[/color] Malakaus knew a few folk tales about miracle cures in the form of ashes of ancient saints, the blood of powerful monsters, or even a magical spring that's said to grant immortality. Of course these were all stories, and were about as reliable as making shit up on the spot. [color=00a651]"Someone here must be organizing this quest. Step forward and tell us what we need to do."[/color] [@Jensoman][@Cynder]
