Black hair, colorful robes.  Human, I guess." The gnome knits his brows. "Or not. Hard to say. He don't ever say when he'll come around, and we don't see him but once every blue moon. Saved me and me brother," Mazzel points at Dungeddin, "when we were both but runts. Never done me wrong, that much I can say, and saved my hide more'n once. So when he come 'round earlier, saying to expect guests and point 'em on their way, I says yes."Seeing Maelicent flinch nary a wee bit from his position, Mazzel shrugs and turns his attention to Brakkus.  Peering at the fighter and using his hands to measure Brakkus's girth and height, Mazzel shakes his head in disagreement.  "Nope, you'll fit.  Your pokey stick's a bit long, but you can bring that too, if you like.  The stair'll be tight, that's all."  Mazzel looks up at Brakkus and Chev and replies to Brakkus's query regarding Arquestan.  "I don't rightfully know how Arquestan knows what he knows.  Wish I did!  He's allays predicting things that come true.  Like that time that Dungeddin nearly got eaten by a giant weasel, wish we'd known beforehand that weasels don't take kindly to cheese."  Mazzel shakes his head sadly, and Dungeddin nods vigorously.  "What was I sayin?  Oh, right.  Arquestan said to show you somethin'.  Cain't talk much out here.  The trees got ears.  You comin' or going your own way?  Choice's yours.  It's a bit of walk from here, though."[sblock=Chev and Maelicent]Both of you get a pretty good feel for Mazzel while he talks.  Dungeddin and Fognewtin maintain non-threatening positions, over by the oak knot.  They nod vigorously at what Mazzel says and seem a bit perplexed to find you all in the forest.  Those two are basically simpletons.  Mazzel seems like he has a lot on the ball, despite being somewhat scatterbrained.  Mazzel seems genuinely worried that the trees will learn too much about Arquestan and that before he can say anything else, we wants to get inside somewhere to safety.  He also seems worried that you all won't do as Arquestan wants.  Even so, he doesn't seem inclined to force anyone to do anything.  Basically, while's he's odd, he seems happy and relieved to see you guys.[/sblock]</blockquote>
