Malkai said nothing as he set off ahead of the others. He felt the dwarf was a reckless fool and he could tell the elf was thinking only of herself. The fighter, like many magically incapable warriors, was paranoid about the danger's she'd be facing. Only Alyssa has yet to do anything to annoy Malkai in particular, but he didn't feel like testing the waters around her. He had Falchion scout ahead, occasionally coming back to report anything of value. No bandits or the like, mostly just weather conditions and landmarks. It was slowly getting hotter, and not wanting to have to worry about the weather, Malkai quietly casted a spell to himself. It only required a small somatic geasture, and he spoke the spell incantation in Druidic.

Aside from his words and hand motions, there wasn't much of a show as he cast his magic. Just as he liked it. Now immune to the harsh effects of the desert, Malkai had nothing to worry about from the desert's sun, or later tonight, chill. And so long as the winds weren't trying to flay him alive or throw rocks at his head, he should be able to weather a sandstorm too. He had Falchion continue scouting ahead while Malkai kept his eyes on the horizon, listening and watching for any sign of danger that his animal companion may miss, occasionally eavesdropping on the conversation of his party members.
