Message: <blockquote data-quote="doghead" data-source="post: 1956799" data-attributes="member: 8243">November 13th, at the junctionThe old man claps his hands and wobbles unsteadily on the branch before grabbing at it with both hands. "Steady on there old fella," he mutters under his breath. For a moment he is overcome by a fit of giggles. But finally he gets around to swinging his feet off the branch. He hangs there, balanced on his stomach on the branch, his feet kicking at the air about level with Bendyn's head. Bendyn manages to avoid getting a foot in the face. The old man is going to have get further down if he is going to be able to get on the horse. He's not happy about that and as Bendyn guides the old man down the old man begins kicking and thrashing in earnest as he loses his grip on the branch. As his arse reachs eye level for Bendyn, the old man loses his grip on the branch and falls. Bendyn isn't able to catch the old man, but does manage to grab him and stop him from falling to the ground. Bendyn's mount prances irritably but Bendyn manages to keep it from trying to buck off the sudden addition, just.Panting slightly form the exertion, Bendyn lowers the old man to the ground. He promptly staggers a few steps away from the horse and sits down heavily. He sits for a moment gathering his breath and wits."I thank you gentlemen. And as I promised, a little something in return for your kindness." He relates a rhyme that he feels may help you:'See him though he sees you not; The black-eyed creature creeps. A guardian once, but now his lot: The key to freedom keeps."Whatever it refers to I'm sure I have no idea. But the Elvin are keen to find the key in question it seemed to me."He also presses on you his only other possession: a page from a book. The language is not one you have seen before. Its quite odd really. And old too by the looks of it.</blockquote>
