Considering what he knew of the Pathfinders it wasn't part of their agenda to get involved in wiping out tribes of gnolls. Their concerns were free trade and security of the golden roads. So those riders that were looking for him were from the Vudrani and now these desert riders were from the same place they were heading towards. Kelesh was not going to stop now. Takxi made that perfectly clear as he took up the gold. However his business was not done with the gnolls.<strong>"What about them? If this is a sign of things to come they won't last long out here."</strong><br/><br/>He was considering a thought in his head. He had a small force in the gnolls if he could ride on and hopefully rally more of their tribe under him. However he wouldn't voice it just yet. Not with the Kelesh right within earshot and listening in on the conversation. Soon enough he came to his decision on what he could offer the knolls in exchange for their loyalty and help in taking Padhe back from the usurper. Land and citizenship within his kingdom would prove a suitable boon and reward. He would have to learn who to lead, how to campaign and he would need to recruit well. And Mullhaja and Takxi could also prove vital in this matter as well. He made up his mind. This was the best path for him. He speaks in a whisper to Takxi whom has earned Darius' trust. Just like her egg sister.<strong>"I have an idea. I think I can coerce the tribes to leave the deserts for greener pastures."</strong>
