Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ghostknight" data-source="post: 1617831" data-attributes="member: 15338">You are ll seated around one of the tables that have been set-up, the guide and Ghilli seating themselves opposite.  The leaf clad creature goes and stands in the centre of the tables, the rest of the adults sitting down (seeminly haphazardly), and the children running around playing (but at least quietly).  The man sitting himself down next to Argentus, seemingly enjoying Argentus' discomfort. As silent descends Wippet comes to each of you, touches, you with a rod, and as he does so the noise in the hall resolves into intelligable speech.  The leaf clad man looks at you and bows.I sing a song of welcome to our guests.  May the roof of our home protect them, may they find their way where they go.I sing the song of the lost to our guests.  The song of the lost that travel, never to find their way home.  Travelling between worlds, between timee.  I sing the song that we pray that the Gods return that we may once more know the forests of our home.I sing for our guests, for I am Hulleuk, master of our songs and friend of the forest. In the days gone by we wandered, we found the stair and ascended.  But when we went down the stair the forest was no more.  Instead there was mountain  and fire, we ascended the stair, but when we descended there was sea and monsters, once again we ascended the stair, but when we returned their was desert and thirst.  For the fourth, and so far the last time, we ascended the stair, but the forest we found was not home.  We fear what may come next, so we do not ascend the stair, but live hidden at the top of the stairs.  We are lost.As he sings, the creatures present emit a low hum, the children sitting rapt and listening.  As he finishes, the chaos resumes and food is placed on the table in front of you- large bowls of fruit, loaves of freshly baked bread and various dead insects arranged on leaves.  All around you the creatures start eating with gusto.I hope you enjoy the food my friends.  You rescued one of our own and I would see you rewarded.  Tell me, how can I assist you in your journey?The Guide leans forward, looking at each of you, seemingly intent on hearing an answer.</blockquote>
