@Lucius Cypher

@Lucius Cypher Just remember, the Gnolls want Vivian alive. The others they don't give a shit about.

Vivian

Most of the group took the time to answer the Bard's question. A few seemed to just ignore the question. She did not know what to make of that. It seemed the ones that talked all wanted to go places. Well except her and Parum who felt like settling down. Catarina however felt the desire to go elsewhere. Vivian was planning on following after her once this mission was a success. Then Malkai alerted them to possible enemies. He did not say what but their figures were dark. Well that helped out a bundle. She sighed and decided to reposition. Take her new spot right beside Parum. She braved the rays of the sun to be prepared for what might come. Cat mentioned a village and hoped that they could reach it. If not they might wonder into a fight,... so soon already too. If felt like only a couple minutes ago they just left the darn city. She kept her staff in both hands ready to use it. Hopefully she could just use her own spells and not have to conjure her familiar. These people might not feel to comfortable with a giant scorpion... even if she was the one who released it.

Alexander

Fordes immediatly began to sniff the air. Trying to pick up any scent. What it got was not something he expected. It smelled of dog but it wasn't quite right. It was new to Fordes ,but it picked them up alright. He let out a little bark to Alexander to try and voice it's concern. Alex traveling with the dire wolf for quite awhile knew how to decipher what the animal was saying. Malkai was right. Something was out there. Whether it was friendly or not was undetermined. The bard tried to justify that the people might not be bandits or enemies but people passing through just like them. Which is possible. They could be but then again they probably might not. He drew his sword and kept it ready. "Nothing wrong with being ready for a fight though. Let's just keep on our guard." He wasn't worried. Any combatant would have to worry about not just him but Fordes as well.

Gnolls

The Gnolls had gotten a bit closer to the group using the sand as much camouflage. They hoped it would keep them hidden but one gestured to the falcon returning to it's owner. "Think it spotted us?" It asked. The others watched it and not very soon after the group began drawing their weapons.
"Well that answers that question... there goes our element of surprise." He looked around and figured they were not enough to handle such a well equiped group. Then he saw her... their quarry. The elf witch sitting beside the halfling. He then grinned devilishly. "You, go back to the camp and grab reinforcements. We will set up a trap up ahead. I have an idea.... I wonder what their group would feel if their elf company turned out to not be so white as she appears." The others smiled as well and began to cackle like that of a hyena. They got up and dispersed......

..... For the group it would seem like nothing was popping out at them just yet. however the area looked rather unnatural to someone who regulars this area. Side from the large sand dunes there was also smaller bumps in the sand so to speak. Almost as if graves were dug or something was buried underneath. As they kept going it would sooner be found out that something was underneath the sands. One by one each of the monsters burst from the sands. They were large and covered in sandy fur. The also carried makeshift armor from what would like parts they stole. Not well made but it did its job judging from the nicks on some of them. Their weapons also varied from different types and sizes. One such Gnoll had a buckler and a war axe, the one beside it a little ways to the left. That one carried a greatsword. However, the one taking charge came up from the front. He stood a good deal aways. His weapons was two longswords. He gestured to his comrades and barked at them and then. Looked to the driver Parum and then to Malkai.

"Now now,... we are not here to sack your wagon. We came here for just one thing only. One person actually." He lifted his sword up and tilted it to point it right at Vivian. Vivian gulped and began to feel uneasy. "We want the she elf and we thinks after I tell you the truth about her..... you will let us take her and you can go on your way." He said. He began to cackle once more. The others began to follow.

"She is no surface elf.... oh no she is far worse then any pale skinned elf from the north. In fact her kin go deep south if you catch my meaning." He continued. "On the surface she hides what is inside her. She is a dark skinned elf of the drow." He the extended his fingers. "You can't really believe a elf would normally walk around with a scythe like that do you?" He shook his head and then spat on the ground. "We want the drow elf,... that is all. Give her over to us and continue on with your mission you can." He stared right at Vivian afterwards.

Vivian felt nervous and a bit shocked that these things knew what she was and she wasn't doing a good job with her act now. She was trembling. It began to build up from fear to anger. She was not letting these dogs take her. They large but they where not many and they only outnumbered them two to one. She knew they could take these monsters out. Then she began to think... but would these people fight them with her. Would they help her or would they abandon her. These things wanted to take her... specifically her and knew what she was. This only meant her house was involved and they where on the surface. They were using these dogmen to grab her. She was not going to go down without a fight.... She refused.

"I'm not going anywhere......" Vivian spoke as she removed her necklace. As she did her appearance quickly changed from that of a elf to that of a drow. Her eyes went from blue to a vivid color. Her hair turned even brighter. She smirked and looked to who she hoped to be her friends. "Yes I am a drow and I disguised my appearance. How else would I a rogue drow enter a city like Sapphire." She spoke. If anyone the orc would understand. She then looked over at the Gnolls. "I thought if I chose the desert as my place of escape that I could be free of my house.... yet here are their dogs. Growling and slobbering."

Out of anger she rose her staff up and aimed it towards a group of the Gnoll to her right. The great jewel in the center began to glow. "Come out Selma,... Your meal awaits you." She said. A beam shot out and from the sands emerged a large monsterous scorpion. It immediatly began to attack one of the gnolls. She then immediatly slid down and readied her scythe for the others. "Im not going down without a fight..."

@rivaan@Lucius Cypher waiting on posts from you guys now.

Vivian Bloodmoon

Vivian obviously had a lot on her mind at the moment. Every time she tried to relax she kept thinking of the potion maker Cat introduced her too. Then the trace of thought was lost to the wind. The culprit was the halfling as he asked her a question. He asked what spells she was able to use and she looked up at the wagon's ceiling and then back to Parum. She reposition herself to the other side of the wagon so both could look at each other without turning fully around. "Well I suppose it depends on the situation. See unlike wizards who depend on books my arcane knowledge is completely derived from my ancestors and knowledgeof the arcane. Basically I can cast a fireball, a lightning bolt, or a cold spell if I want to do some damage. Or I can help us see in the dark if we use up all our torches or I can create water like the cleric. I am not fully skilled though as some of the masters are where I come from though. My spells will help us a long the way though don't worry." She then looked to Veridis and noticed something... there were only three males on this mission. The half orc, the knight and then the bard. The bard being the most charming of the group when it comes to looks.

The half orc... well can't judge him too much due to the mask but he does have the body. Back to the subject at hand though. She decided to indugle the halfling even further. "What makes me unique though. Is my choice for a companion. Not going to spoil it but he is quite not what you would expect from an elf." She said as she patted her staff. Then the bard asked a question to all about what they would spend the money on.

She never really thought of it actually. She really didn't care for it. She was doing this mission to build up a name for herself. So that people could trust her... but the half orc made her nervous. He wore that mask for a reason and it made her nervous. If the people of the surface would easily alienate a half breed despite the things he does... then what chance did she have as a drow elf. "Well for starters... I suppose I would spend it on a permanent homestead here in Saphire. As much as I dont enjoy the heat. The place is rather interesting. Besides... I will stay here as long as I can." As long as my kin will let me that is. If they come running after me then this wont be a good home to remain in.

Alexander

Alex listened to the conversations. Including the one between the elf and the halfling. Vivian and Parum where their names. The halfling was quite polite but then again most of the little bastards where. No offense to Parum of course but some of the ones he knew up north you didn't want to close to your purse or anything of value or it would be gone the moment you blink. Parum seemed she had some honor but you know what they say about theives... He shrugged and suddenly wanted to know what kind of companion the elf was talking about. He then noticed the onion knight... Catarina was her name. He pulled Fordes up right beside her. "Were you a soldier too? Any of your battles take you up north?" He asked rather curious. He was then interrupted by a question by the bard that was meant for all of them. What would the spend the money on. He scratched his head on that one... the elf said something about making a place for herself in the city. That was a good one. Not the same as him though. Then again he didn't know... There was so much he could do but a good place for him and Fordes would be a good start. Then he looked down at his dire wolf. "First things first going to prep this guy for the desert by giving him a shave..." He said.

Fordes looked up and raised a brow and flopped a ear to the side. Alex laughed and patted him on the head. "I am joking,... besides I don't think there is a groomer in that city that would be courageous enough to do it anyways."

--------------

The conversations sprouted about the group, but they were not alone out on the sands. Falchion would have notified Malkai of dark figured moving through the sands towards the east. They were looking for something.... or perhaps someone. They had a lot of fur on them with the sand of the desert decorating them. Their snouts dark and black and they had rings around their eyes. They had paws as well.... they were Gnouls. Jackals that could walk on two legs. They had one simple mission and they were going to complete it. One sniffed the air and looked to the others. "I have the ones scent... she be close. I just hope this is worth it. Our contacts mentioned she was among some powerful friends."

Vivian

Vivian did not know what Cat's plan was. Would she take to a horse or would she go into the wagon. Either way her own plans where already decided. These people may see elf but she is drow elf and the sooner she gets out of the sun and inside the wagon the better she would feel. She climbed into it and found herself a seat and patted her staff. "Wont be long now my old friend,... just be ready for when the time comes." She spoke. She knew that the wagon would slow them down but it gave them many opportunities that could not be ignored or thrown aside. Side from providing herself with shade. It did not take long for her eyes to adjust either to the low light. When she peaked outside everything seemed brighter then it normally did. She sighed and then shrugged. Well Viv this is the life you chose...

She heard a thud and looked to the source and saw that Alexander had tossed the bag of fruit into the wagon as well. She thought he was to join her but all he did was position the bag a little then climb back out. "They'll be better in here then dangling from the side of Fordes. Out of the heat and in a cooler area would be best. Help yourself to one if you get hungry." He said to her and she nodded. If only the knight knew what she was. He wouldn't be so kind and generous. The thoughts of it all made her even more nervous... this group may not react so kindly to her if her identity was ever revealed. A few might not act with cruelty but some just might... Cat will protect her though from them.... hopefully.

Alexander

Alex exited the wagon after he did what he wanted to do and then moved to Fordes and climbed aboard the large dire wolf. He then patted the guys head. "Well buddy, looks like we will be braving the desert together." Fordes tilted his head upwards to look to Alexander and barked answering him. Alex just smiled and waited. It did not take long before the group all got situated. They all either joined Vivian in the wagon or took to a horse. Either way their destination was the same. To the temple of Nerul to find the Chalice. He hoped it wouldn't be too un eventful. This trip could be boring the whole way if not otherwise. Soon the wagon began to move and the rest of the party soon did too. At first it was slow as they passed around and through people as the came and went from the city. It went to show that not everyone was protected by its walls. The area outside were also not as comfortable looking as the homes inside.

The more farther they went they left the slums of Sapphire and into the farmlands where they grew the more exotic plants that could brave the heat. From there they would begin to experience the expanse of nothing but sand. Alexander looked at the people in the poor areas. Despite their situation some of them still managed a smile or a friendly wave his way. They where happy despite having nothing. A sight not to unfamiliar to him.
