"Come in, come in dearies! Here, let me brush all that dreadful ash off you. You're early, you know! Eager to be off are we? Heeee!" she cackles softly to herself, as if she'd just made a joke. "Pantheras and Sotera are out at the moment. Communing with Old Man River, I think. Artemisia likely won't be here til Highsun either - always the punctual little thing, she was. Here, come with me, I'll find you somewhere to sit and bring you some oat-cakes to eat while you wait."She ushers you into a small antechamber then disappears for a few moments before returning with a tray piled high with oat-cakes and a small pitcher of honey. "Here you are dearies, eat up, eat up! You'll need your strength! Heeee!" Again she laughs to herself.After setting the tray down, she backs up into one of the remaining chairs in the room and flops down un-gracefully. She grins at you, displaying her nearly-toothless mouth, and asks, "So, tell old Lempetie why you all are willing to risk your lives venturing to the mountain through unknown lands! Heeeeeheheh, I didn't scare you away did I? Heeee!"</blockquote>
