"I believe it was fated that we meet, Baldor. My dream reveals many things to me and it has shown me you", here Ceodric turns to the others, "And it has shown me that a meeting by the lake will be the roots of mighty deeds against the Shadow. I believe we should accept this task."
He gestures to the assembled group.
"I have travelled from Rhosgobel through and round Mirkwood. Each step has led me closer to this moment. I see things, and people, in my dream verses. I am a healer. These lands need healing after the scars they have suffered. It is my fate to journey wide and help those that need it. I have foreseen great things for the tree that grows from the seeds of this meeting. I will go with you, Baldor."
"Rouf!"
He smiles at Hilda.
"It seems I have been granted permission."
Looking at the group, he takes on a serious aspect. His eyes glitter. His tone turns deeper.
"Those who wander seeking adventure have been called here. And here adventure finds us. There are those here who seek to protect; who seek new experiences; who seek their doom; their destiny. I see all this in my dream, and I see this man", gesturing to the merchant, "and I believe this is the path we must take."
[sblock=OOC]LM, I am suggesting that Ceodrics harrowed dream has let him understand these drives being assembled, not necessarily who has which one, as a function of Foreknowledge just to try and tie the group together. If this is overstepping let me know and I will happily amend[/sblock]
