Xarces frowns upon hearing Gunthar speak of the possible fate of the previous party. " Do you think their true destination was Haka'torvahk? Or do you think the trinkets they brought along where their undoing?  What sort of things do the lizardfolk of these parts prefer?" he asks curiously.<br/><br/><br/>Xarces would go over all the information that he had gained within his head, still on the fence as to whether or not he wanted to hire the man sitting next to him. On one hand having someone along who knew the area would be invaluable, someone who could get them safely to their destination, and yet some of the stories he had heard began to take form within his mind. How easy it would be for someone like him to have an arrangement where he would lead a group from the city, simply to turn over his supposed clients to the tribes of lizard folk, keeping their gear for himself to later sell, such an arrangement would certainly benefit both parties. Though Xarces knew he could simply be over thinking the situation..... either way such thoughts did not sit well within the mind of the bard.<br/><br/>As these various musings swim through his head Xarces would see Jule's walk into the tavern. He waving to him immediately as he saw the man's arrival as an excuse to step away from the table. He then would turn to Gunthar "If you'll excuse me for a moment, a friend of mine just walked in." with that Xarces gets up and heads over to greet the alchemist.<br/><br/>Now that he was away from Gunthar, he would take the opportunity to inform Jule's as well as any other members of the party that may be strewn throughout the tavern of all that he had learned, hoping to gain their own takes on whether or not they should trust Gunthar and take him along as a guide.
