He was a tall, lanky man, but his eyes burnt of determination.  When Silverdrake held up the amulet, he looked very close and reached for the thing.  "Let me have a look at that....  These rings are the symbol for elven prophecy.  It is a sacred image to us.  However, it is defilied by this necromantic gem." He mutters something quietly in elven.  [sblock=Luhal hears]The only word you caught was the word "...forsaken..."  spoken as a noun.  Also, your skill check for knowledge: nobility means that humans haven't heard of this guy;  however, human society has been at 'peace' with the elves for decades, and so the only leader they know is the prime minister, a woman named Gyuenete'ethia.  Note that the humans that attacked the elves were mostly slavers and mercinaries, not official the offical human army.[/sblock]"I will reward you for bringing this to me so I can destroy it."  When the adventurers talk about the orcs, he nods quickly in his agreement.  "Those orcs definatly know something we don't.  However, they are not to be underestimated.  Their leaders are sly and cunning, and have wounded and killed many of my good warriors.  I will not let you walk to your doom; and so I will send Draethan here along with you.  He is one of my best scouts, and knows all the land 'round here.  However, he has just returned from an important misison, and must be debriefed and allowed to rest."  He steps back inside his tent and returns quickly with a medium sack.  "Here, take these in return for your desire to help the elven people.  The information you have brought us might change the way we defend ourseves.  Perhaps this enemy knows more about us that we would have wished."  As he speaks, he tips some of the contents of the bag into his hand, revealing five sparkling sapphires.  "These ought to be worth about five thousand of your human gold peices in total, if I remember. I hope I can be so bold as to recomend you spend some of it to our craftsmen in the other side of camp.  As long as you stay here, you have our welcome.  Return in three of your hours."  With that, he returns with Draethan into his war leader's tent.  This leaves the party standing in the north of the clearing that makes up the bustling camp.  To the south, you can see a bowyer.  Next to him is a fletcher, with the weapon shop across the way from that.  There also seems to be an enchanter house in the very middile of the camp;  it is the only building attached to the ground.  Ostu, having already declared his intention to the party, heads for the bowyer.  The man welcomes him into the tent. "Hai there, traveler.  Not many of your kind seen here, and I would gamble that you have permission.  Otherwise, the Boss would have killed you hisself.  The elf smiles.  "So what can I get you?"  He has an excelent selection of masterwork bows, right up to one of the +5 strength variety.  The elf speaks like a seasoned merchant. "These bows are standard prices, 450 for the lowest quality masterwork, 1000 for my strongest bow, here.  I would recomend not to use that one unless you have the strength for it;  'tis a mighty weapon.  To get any stronger than that and you'd need to talk to Elleath'ril, the enchanter.[sblock=end of post]your ball, guys.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />   Oh, and Weel, you <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=683249" target="_blank">dont recognise</a> the robes or amulet.  Also, when it comes to merchants, full roleplay is required!!  (if you are smart, and have a couple good rolls, you might be able to bargin the prices down a little!)[/sblock]</blockquote>
