"I suppose if we are to travel together you should know my name. I am Tromolden." He pronounces the name with some pride. "Baradur gave me that name himself - it means Fool's Death in an old, dark tongue. And I have killed  a fair number of fools while in his service, so I suppose the name comes well earned."The rolling hills gradually  give way to a flat plain. The earth has been getting slightly wet and sticky. There are trees all around - they appear to be some sort of willow. Their leaves cover more area than you would think possible given their slender trunks."Stay away from these trees, Todarr," Tromolden whispers. "All manner of foul beasts lurk under their leaves at night."You walk a bit farther, and hear a strange chirping sound a ways behind you. Tromolden turns, so you don't feel conspicuous in turning yourself. You see a distant flash of light. "Ah, fire bats. Most useful for Baradur's rituals, but not so much fun at night. Let's keep moving lest they decide to pay us a visit." He turns back and begins walking a bit faster.[/sblock]</blockquote>
