Thessel just blinks for a moment. "Oh, well. Duran is it? Always nice to know the name of a man who appears out of thin air with no warning, I always say. Not hurt, no, save my pride. I'd offer an impressively flourished bow to introduce myself but I seem to have fallen into a bit of tightly-knotted rope. As it stands, or rather you stand and I lie here like a trussed pig, you'll just have to take my word for it: This would be far more impressive were I freed. Thessel Dromad. You've certainly heard of me. I am here as part of an ingenious plan to wreak havoc upon a group of rather unpleasant fellows who burnt down my home and murdered my entire family. I seem to have discovered a flaw in my plan however. It turns out, and this was a surprise to me let me tell you, one should try ones best to avoid being overwhelmed and captured. This tends to not be beneficial to most plans. Let that be a lesson to you as well Duran! I suggest you write it down, immediately after freeing me from these ropes. Rather silly these. They tied up all the captives but only gagged me. Can't imagine why. Rude, if I do say so.
