[QUOTE="Forged Fury, post: 6596613, member: 95059"] Vials cocked his head. Without the mask, the gesture appeared much more inquisitive, far less avian. Leaning out the door, he looked south. [COLOR=#0000FF]"Did Dorin send you on a lark?"[/COLOR] Not seeing a dwarf standing in the street, he continued, [COLOR=#0000FF]"What's an earth genasi? Why, you're an earth genasi, Brue."[/COLOR] The gnome studied the woman's face, not detecting much understanding and picking up on a slight note of frustration. [COLOR=#0000FF]"My, my... you really don't know what you are. How mysterious... come, come, might as well come inside, perhaps I can help you out."[/COLOR] Ushering the woman inside, Vials shut the door to the elements, immediately shrouding the room in dim light. Walking over to a hooded lantern hanging from one of the support beams, the gnome twisted the top of the device which lifted the hood, bathing the room in light.
