Baracus works up a sweat, holding nothing back in his sparring to show his respect for the warriors of this temple, and in turn enjoys the challenge as the Skandrana monks reciprocate. However, he is most challenged by the grandmother, Swordmother Raghavan, whom he makes the mistake of going easy on. In the moments after his thorough thrashing, as he lies still on the ground and contemplates his own mother, who his father said he took after. At the time he had always taken that as insult, but now he wondered. He looked forward to the day he would be reunited with his father. Perhaps he would learn who she was, this human woman he took after.
He appreciates Gaurav's offer and tells him he will think on it. He had thought the little knife was home sick, but perhaps it would enjoy taking a tour of glory with Baracus before it returned it to the ranks of the Thousand Swords.
After listening to Urban and Erden discuss their next steps, Baracus is pleased with the plans of his friends. There was hope for them yet - they had not even mentioned monetary reward.
"Yes, let us rain down destruction upon the enemies of the Golden Child. I trust in the path you choose."
In response to Sashvar's offer of additional soldiers, he rejects it outright.
"Every soldier we take from here is one less guarding the Golden Child."

Ybus takes his coat back from Baracus and begins to put it on...[/b]
Baracus is puzzled. Did he have the coat the whole time? He considers that the halfling's trickery, but it is too clever by far and he gives up.
