Well this is exciting! HB's been pursuing the origins of Malicant for a long time, and this type of exploration and information gathering is right up his alley.
With the info given, I can't really think of how I plan to thread out the specifics. Mainly he'll be wandering around these towns talking to whoever he can. Maybe perusing the market and definitely checking out the ruins. When talking to the Scurris, he'll go wherever any possible leads will take him (even if they aren't solid ones). Considering Salm's age and wisdom, he'll be perusing her, too.
As far as talking to the Viili goes, I'll just have to play that by ear. Luckily Hellboy is very sensitive to telepathic communication, and won't have much of a problem conversing with them given the chance.
With the desert itself, though HB doesn't like the sand or heat, he's very durable. He doesn't need to drink, and can withstand those temperatures without worrying about overheating. However, if he's traveling with other people in tow, they should probably go by night. He has a lot of experience with working in the desert, and will share his wisdom however he can.
Hellboy usually enjoys working alone, but he has no problem with working as a team. Chances are he'll be setting off on his own to do his exploring, then check back with people when he can. He may take one other person with him, depending on their skillset and how much they might need another person to back them up.
In the very beginning, he'll be very interested in gathering info on his teammates' past experience and personal skills.
Hellboy himself is not much of a leader. He has a lot of valuable knowledge and experience for this mission, but organizing people has never been his best attribute. If someone more capable were to take the lead, he would follow, and be there to help them and offer constructive criticism as much as he can.
Lastly, Hellboy is very uninterested in the details. When info-gathering about Malicant, he's not gonna be asking around for the guy's life story. He wants to know how to kill it. That's the only important thing.
