Vivian Bloodmoon
Vivian liked how Veridis thought. It would be very wise to study about this enemy. She did a lot of studying when she lived among her people ,but she mostly studied other worldly things. None of which consisted of Nerull. As she thought about it she wondered why she never studied his path. It did suit her very well actually. She simply just shrugged to herself.
"That would be wise Veridis, but this temple was just unearthed by the desert. We do not know when it might swallow it up again. Perhaps if there is a book store along the way I can purchase something for you to read along the way." She said. She then began to look around and noticed the orcish barbarian was not among them. Come to think of it he didn't still around for the blood binding so he was not bound to the contract. She sighed and began to massage her temple.
"Not only that but anyone else notice we are one member short at the moment. That damn oversized goblin is probably taking his ride and supplies and heading out already. Not to mention he did not stick around to get the blood binding so unlike us he aint bound to the quest. Nothing except us is stopping him from running off with it for his own gain." She added. She looked to Catarina whose offer to go shopping still stood. They could still do that but hopefully they could come across any books about the temple perhaps. I mean it is indeed old history, perhaps it was recorded at sometime in a book.
She took Catarina's hand and pressed upon it her lips and then proceeded to follow her. Now Catarina was a stern fighter. You can tell by the sword and her choice of weaponry. As much as she would like to rely on this giant of a woman to protect her she wont always be. What she could use is a few potions or healing scrolls.
"So Cat,... may I call you Cat? I wouldn't mind if you called me by Viv in exchange. Anyhow I believe I might need some potions. I am not too sure how this run will go and I dont think you will always be there with your sword and shield to fight off any enemy that threatens me. Therefore I would need a backup plan. Healing potions or scrolls would be nice." She said. She then looked to the cleric.
"Yes you could heal us but I can not put that fully on your shoulders. Besides,.. I think I want you throwing around your hammer then casting healing spells." She said. She then took notice that their group mostly consisted of women. Beautiful women to add to that. I mean Veridis and Alexander were the only males excluding Malkai who rudely ran off. That confirmed any suspicions of what race he belonged to. Orcs were always in such a rush all the time. She did not mind as she felt more of a connection to Cat. Perhaps the woman reminded her a lot like her sister. The one she betrayed to please mother but then failed anyways and wound up on the same path....

Alexander Von Wolfe
Alex looked to his companion Fordes and then to the others smiling at their awe of his mount. He was proud of his friend and felt no reason why he should feel otherwise.
"His name is Fordes. He has been my friend for a long time now. My family is in the business of training them for mounts and then take them into battle. It brings a new name to terror when you cant just worry about the rider but the mount as well. Dire wolves are very hard to train though. I think what makes our bond close was that,... well he chose me I believe. I don't know how to describe it. Like it is not so much me choosing him to be by companion but him choosing me. Like we had to feel a connection of some sort." He said shifting his shoulders. Then came the talk of supplies. They most certainly needed it and he did like Veridis's idea.
"I will accompany you on that but lets do this with haste. Like take the book with us or something." He was surprised the bard did not know plenty about Nerull as it was. He was always led to believe that bards knew a lot about the world which is why they always sung great tales. He always liked listening to them when he was a kid.
He wondered if this bard ever traveled far north.
"Veridis was it?,.. I was curious, has your travels ever taken you to the borders of the frozen lands up north?"
