[QUOTE="Brother Dave, post: 6383913, member: 80003"] Rolen Galanodel had done his best to ignore the bickering gnomes during his journey. His gratitude for the transportation quickly waned as he endured their constant back-and-forth. Even the damage to the cart wheel only changed the focus of their argument. In days past he would have sought solace in meditation, but these days that brought little in the way of peace. Rolen sighed again as he waited for the grey-haired human to finish his examination. He had hoped to reach Greenest by nightfall, but the chances of that were diminishing rapidly. In his mind's eye he again relived the dream, the almost prophetic vision he had experienced every 5 nights like clockwork for the last few months. He didn't need to do any mental calculations to know that the next was due tonight. He almost cringed in anticipation. "...creatures lurking about the standing stones. What can you tell us?" Rolen's ruminations were suddenly interrupted as he realized that another person - a fellow wood elf, if he wasn't mistaken - had been speaking. He had been so lost in thought he hadn't even noticed anyone else approaching. He quickly looked up, his interest piqued at the mention of creatures. He saw a small band of humans and elves, apparently addressing the human inspecting the cart. His curiosity warred briefly with irritation at the thought that this might delay his journey even further, but the possibility that someone might be in need of help or healing decided him. He lightly hopped down from the cart and approached the group. He stood awkwardly for a moment, unsure how to proceed. It had been so long since he had dealt with a[I]nyone [/I]else, much less a fellow elf. With the gnomes it was easy - they did most of the talking, requiring only minor conversational contributions and occasional grunts from him. Finally he blurted out, [COLOR=#800080][B]"Did you say creatures? What kind of creatures? Are there any injuries? Just let me gather my gear."[/B][/COLOR] Rolen started back to the cart, then stopped and realized he hadn't even introduced himself.
