Once all the natives have left the hall temporarily, Elena turns quickly to Zerash, speaking quickly. "This doesn't all come together. Something is missing - if they cannot act against her themselves, why is your brother free to come with us? I feel that he has an agenda he is not telling us."

Session summary (Late summer/early fall, 67 AK):
The group released the avatar of Naeron to destroy Uuleis for her presumption, and was soundly rewarded - Zerash with the unleashing of his draconic blood, the others with magic and wealth. Shortly, they were guided back to Mittendien, and returned in early fall. On landing in Ettledein, Elena and Rompeculo went their own ways, while Drack and Zerash were accosted by a repaired Valdir and taken away to a tavern. There, they regale the elf with tales of the swamps, and hear about the quest he's been given along with a hand. Before he can elaborate, though, a stranger approaches and names Valdir, asking to speak with him...

"My employer has tasked me with getting vital information from this Reginald Cooper. My sources put you, a gnome who is supposedly in town though I have yet to locate him, and some others who i have little information on as the last people to see Cooper. The only other thing I know is that whatever you were up to it may have had something to do with the Walden family here in Mittendien since thats what he seems to have been working on at the time. I need to find him as soon as possible and you and this gnome are my only tangible links to him. Anything comming back to you now?"

Valdir relaxes a bit but still keeps a hand on his rapier hilt as he sips his elven spiced wine. After a long pause Valdir shrugs characteristically. "I've met and talked with many people lately, mainly regarding a quest I've been assigned in return for my lost hand. It seems the frost giants, or someone in cahoots with them, has a penchant for cold weather and are trying to permanently change it. I've been assigned the task of investigating it and, if possible, stop it. To this end, I've spoken with many people, one of whom might be this 'Cooper' person."
After taking another sip, Valdir looks up, a brief hint of the nasty streak he has that differentiates him from most of his silvan kin flashes in his eyes and then is gone. He continues, "Now, I don't know you from the Great Dragon, so why, if I've even heard of this Cooper person, would I just offer him up to the likes of you? You are a bit rude and I'm not real keen on introducing folks who might wish harm to those who might prove helpful in my quest. Have a drink, or whatever it takes to calm you down and inject some manners into you, and explain yourself and your intentions."

"Don't let him off the hook Valdir... e should be buying us a round if'n we're to be listenin too his troubles."
Drack addresses the man directly as well.
"An as fer trackin down this particular gnome... don't waste your time. If he doesn't want to be found.. you won't be finding him."

"I apologize if I have come off as a bit rude, but I would bet you Valdir wouldn't be much better if you were in my shoes trying to get information to save Lorylnia from invasion.
As you seem to know, frost giants are becoming more active in the area. They've already invaded Thoradur. The dwarves may still hold their tunnels, but the surface belongs to the giants. My employer believes it only a matter of time before they push into Mittendien.
I have been sent to investigate legends of a dragon that lives in Lake Valdorane. According to legend the dragon is a friend to both humans and dwarves and has even acted as an envoy between the two races. My employer has tasked me to seek out this dragon and try to enlist it to aid Mittendien and Thoradur or atleast get its advice about the giants. The problem is that no one has seen the dragon in years and there are unconfirmed reports of dragon attack along the shores of the lake.
This man Reginald Cooper is a bit of an expert on the legends of the dragon. I am looking for him to get whatever information I can about the dragon. Unfortunately no one knows where he is. The only information on Cooper my sources have been able to find is that he was looking into something involving the Walden family when he disappeared, and that you Valdir along with others were involved in all this somehow. I know you were traveling with a gnome named Fleck at the time as well as others. While I have been able to track you and Fleck here to the city, I have little information on your companions other than brief descriptions. It was sheer luck that you walked into this tavern, but I have to sieze the opportunity while I have it. I must ask you for any information you have involving Cooper or what was going on with the Walden family. I promise you that if there were any legal infractions involved with this mess, you won't be prosecuted as long as you tell me what you know."
