Someone said:
Telustiel greets the newcomers raising his glass of wine.
"And why do you want to know?" says the half-elf. "If the mountain really exists -and I´m not saying it doesn´t- would you help us to find it?"
"Ohhh" the blind man says lowering his head and looking a bit sad, "I can no longer travel, but the idea that someone is going to Dragon Mountain gives me a story to live for. I will help you all that I can from here...tell you all that I know. For in some way that makes me a part of your story and while I have the heart of a hero, my body does not compare..."
In discussing events with your characters a few things come up in conversation:
Vangar - you know that the first dwarven kingdom is rumored to have been in the nearby mountains...you don't know exactly where; Your bloodline may have started nearby (feat)
The Druid's town was destroyed by what many thought to be a dragon some 20 years ago...
Telustiel had an adventuring ancestor who was lost in this part of the continent some 200 years ago and nobody knows what happened
Argon has heard that a massive floating eye has been haunting the area and has been asked to track it and finish it. This is a very recent development.
And Rino, you only know that this part of the country is seldom talked about without the mentioning the word "riches" in your circle of influence.
Calim has been sent to look into the unrest in the area, it seems as though many towns and hamlets have been raided by unknown forces recently and no one knows why.
(Waiting patiently for a fashionably late entrance from a charismatic bard)
After exchanging information and hearing the old blind mans story (no one has thought to ask his name) he turns his ear in your direction as if to ask,
do you have any questions about the mountain?
