[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 1533386, member: 1044"] Namegiver grabbed a large piece of obsidian glass from the ruined sand, and heard a return of his hail in Elven. He called back in Elven as well, and sauntered forward to meet them, as did his companions. They called and asked if they were elves as well, while Namegiver yelled back that they weren’t. The half-orc yelled, and chuckled, saying that the orcs had thought he was an elf too. (Namegiver had had some orcs on the mountain thinking he was an elf, with the way he snuck through the trees and handled his bow.) The three elves each had bows, and the male among them had a scimitar at his side. His nose was bleeding. The air in the desert here was particularly dry. One female’s face was covered with a veil, except for her eyes, and the other female had a large metal nose ring, and a labret. Namegiver asked, “Heading to the Mountain?” The male responded, “No, we’re just out looking for food, maybe some more timber, and some more elves.” No one took this as a slight, although Greater did blink. The three of them started eyeing the woman with the veil a little suspiciously. Greater then raised an eyebrow and said, “Whattaya wearin the veil for?”(1) The veiled elf coughed, “The sun is a bit rough on my skin…” She stammered, and glanced up at the void of a sky. Greater grinned. Namegiver caught a look from the elf with the piercings that said “Nix those questions.” Namegiver interjected, “How far away is Hukgi from here?” The veiled elf replied quickly, “About an hour.” She looked relieved. The elves left to part ways with them, but Namegiver asked them to come with them. They resisted, but after an oddly winning smile from Namegiver, the pierced elf decided to come with them. She informed them, once they were out of earshot, that the veiled elf was covered in boils, and rather fragile about it. They nodded, and walked on.

Not many were there, the rangers had been out for days looking for… well, anything, and Hukgi was more than half rangers. Namegiver took a liking to the elf, she seemed a comparable ranger to him, and was rather pretty behind the sandy filth, he thought.

There’s something wrong, there’s a crocodile in town!” She drew her bow, and called, “Can you guys help?” She seemed a bit perplexed. It was bloody huge. Fifteen feet, Namegiver guessed.
