Makani looks around at the Paladin's nearby practicing swordplay and the inscription of the sword and the axe in marble at the front of the temple. She then hears the guard speak and ask for her weapons. She looks him over in disbelief before, asking in stilted common, "You want me to give you my sword to enter the temple? Sorry, my sword does not leave my back." After speaking she turns and heads back down the stairs, looking around for another way to gather information about the strange murders.

The tall woman stares at you unflinching. She is well muscled even though she appears to be a bit younger than most mercenaries. Her long white-gold hair is pulled back in a braid and her grey eyes stare at you uncaringly. You notice a scar running along her cheek, but there is nothing outstanding about her. She appears battle ready and the long bastard-sword across her back looks battle-used and easily reached.
