"Malkai and Catarina speak wisely my friend" said the dwarf as he road his battle pig. "These desert sands tend to suck up anything at a given second. The Guild wants what's inside it and we best get there before it gets sucked up again. Being a cleric and having Vivian with us we can always move the sand out of our way after we are inside. However, not when we are outside. It's hard to tell one sand hill from the other." Jarvis was wondering how new to the world ,or at least this part of the world. He grumbled and shook his head. He saw what his group could do and well,.. he felt very proud of himself for getting into a good one. He swung his hammer around by its sling a couple times his boar moved. "Wouldn't hurt to pick up the pace though. If you lot don't mind that is." He offered. His hog may not look much but many don't understand the training it goes through to become a battle hardened boar. It can keep up with the camels or the horses with ease.
Vivian smiled at the tulip that was Alyssa. Now that they were on good terms it was going to make partnership with her much more enjoyable. She took one final glance at the orc she exploded and smiled. "That's not the only thing I can make explode,.... if you know what I mean." She said. She wasn't sure if the others were bright enough to get that meaning but she at least hoped Alyssa was. To the others it might seem strange but in the world of the drow it was not the oddest thing to see. Two members of the same sex being together as partners. Especially female drow. She lowered her hood and pushed her cloak away revealing more of her skin. It both burned and cooled her at the same time. It was weird. The sun was not kind at all but the sweat and the wind made it feel a lot better.
She ignored the other sorcerers desire to go orc hunting and she rolled her eyes at it. After hearing the other two males, Malkai and Jarvis voice their opinions she smirked.
"Nice to hear that not all of the males in this party are slow minded." She looked to the young sorcerer and he was indeed young. Even for a human. She may have him by hundred fifty or so years but still. "As much as I like to fry and play with the wild orcs of the world, I much like to get paid to do it. Right now we are all going to get paid by the mages guild once we grab this chalice. Once we do that,.. sure lets fry us a orc village. Of course again. Never do anything for free." That was her two cents on the subject of that.
She then looked back to her companion. "Alyssa,... was wondering, say after this job, how about we two girls partner up. I don't have much for friends on the surface world. For obvious reasons of course." She added.
------------------------------
The orc female was indeed upset that she did not get to kill anything ,but like the others. Running full long into a fight that was not there job, and blindly at that, was not the greatest thing. She felt no need to voice it either. The others did that pretty well. Stupid pink skinned human. Maybe sun fried brain and he no work anymore. She felt her lips getting dry and reached down for her waterskin and lifted up and took a drink from it. "How long until we reach this temple anyways?" She barked.
