Her usual smile dissipated and turned into an unhappy snarl as she heard of Calabris involvement. "I swear, many of the world's problems could be stopped by destroying that group. If they are involved, we need to approach carefully as it may not just be an underground crew. They often have actual military units or perhaps allied mages and warriors. You are correct that hitting their purse is a good way to repel them, but if they are specifically targeting Krogan's legacy, then it may take more." She remembered Krogan. He was an honest man and a good chieftain. "If we can save the ruins, I would like to. I have good memories of that place." She did not mention why she really wanted to keep the ruins safe. She had a couple items hidden there as keepsakes to remember her time as Krogan's friend. The shapeshifted naga stepped closer to Valia once she felt her conversation with Allanon had reached a relatively natural conclusion. "Valia, dear, you have grown since I last saw you. Are you in good enough shape to give an old friend a hug?" She opened her arms, obviously ready to give a huge hug to the girl. She had been away a long time and Valia was one of the closest friends she had last time.
