Xarces cannot help but chuckle at Jules' comment "You are probably right, not all find the embrace of an actively digesting stomach as enthralling as I." he admits "As for her, well you may recall the Poison Dusk whom offered to deliver the spices to the BlackScales? This is Shaklik the very same lizardess." He smiles to both her and Jules. "Shaklik, meet Jules." he introduces the two before adding "She's no prisoner, and is  completely on our side I assure you, as she fought along side me in vanquishing the search party that had set out after us.  "The other two are Aethon, and Linda my dear." the bard wrapping up the introductions so that the lizardess was up to speed on everyone's name.<br/><br/>On the matter of Alizome Xarces nods "Ah yes, that makes sense that she would offer to scout ahead after the battle. I am very pleased to hear that she was all right last you saw." no sooner had he finished his sentence would Jules' point out the sounds coming from one of the nearby huts. "Hmm?....now that you mention it I think I do..." The bard listening closer to the source....."I'm not quite sure what that is but it almost sounds like...." Xarces pauses while placing his fingers to his lips considering the familiarity of the noise...though is hesitant to acknowledge his hunch as it could simply be his imagination, or more likely the sounds of either Aethon, or Linda's bellies echoing off the surroundings. Either way Xarces would not simply stand idly by "I'll go see what it could be...." he states, crouching low as he stealthily moves forwards towards the tent in question, the very same which Jules had gestured towards, attempting to see for himself what may be inside.<br/><br/>[[ Xarces will move stealthily towards the tent trying to see what may be inside, entering if he has to ]]<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/134388">Stealth</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+9</span><span style="font-weight: bold">29</span><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/134386">Perception</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+7</span><span style="font-weight: bold">13</span>
