Calenthang nods at Sielwoodan and gives Dunstand a significant look, remembering well how Dunstand was anything but the trustworthy companion and the party every bit naive for accepting him so quickly.
"That was a long time ago. Friend Dunstand proved himself through his actions, not his words," the warrior says as if from far away, lost in nostaglia.

[sblock]Thank you for that, Velmont :D
Two years ago!!![/sblock]
 

Laurent thinks to ignore the eyes, having embarrassed himself badly enough last time, then thinks better of it and gives them a little wave before heading in to the inn.

He doesn't look especially bothered at Calenthang's hostility, "No intrustion intended, you were the first sentient beings I had encountered for many weeks and I must confess to being slightly starved of company. If you would prefer me to withdraw whilst you discuss your private affairs I would be happy to do so."

He pauses, and stratches Rex's head before proffering him a tidbit from the table.

"However I have formed the opinion that I am meant to be with you, whether you will it or not. However, as I'd rather be in the group than dogging your trail from afar, I think I had better do as you request."

"That said, it would appear that you don't trust me, yet want me to find out the information on which you base you next move? If I was untrust worthy I could easily lead you in the wrong direction, set you up or lead you into a trap. In which case, all your threats of vengence wouldn't count for very little."
 

ooc:
Lol. That long? Jimminy cricket!

IC:
Teleri chuckled and sobered. "Please forgive us for our mistrust, but these past few weeks have been hellish" she said tiredly. "In any case, if you wish to join us, you need to know why we are here, no?" she said in her characteristicly blunt manner. "It's like this...." she began, telling him the sailent points of their past adventurers as well as why they were in the town to begin with.
 

Calenthang looks at Teleri as if she grew another head the entire time she outlines the party's efforts from her joining them to the recent loss of their most respected friends. To him, it seems very likely that the female elf made a habit of speaking before thinking.
He just shakes his head at her when she's finished. Whatever protection the leash gave them from the scorpion, she just ruined by putting her arm around it.
 

She finishes and glances at the others. "Trust must begin with trust. If we don't give him a chance, why should he give us a chance?"
 

"It's a good thing you've put your lot in with ours, friend Teleri," he says, giving her an honestly worried stare. He turns his attention away from the discussion, no longer having any hope for the others to see a reason to guard themselves from the bard. He'd just have to make sure the antidote was on hand when one of them gets stung.
Calenthang unties the bag of holding and the other sack he found in the hag's lair and places them on the table in front of him. He carefully begins removing anything inside of each and sets the items aside for all to see.
 

"Indeed friend Calenthang. But don't worry about me. I am simply giving him a chance. No more, no less. After all, you all gave me a chance once. How can I not do the same for someone else?" she said. "It does not mean that I won't keep a firm eye on things."
 

"Seems you got your chance Laurent..." tells Sielwoodan to the newcomers. His eyes start to looks at what Calenthang display. "Broddy, can you tell us if there anything magical in that?"
 

Broddy wakes up later then he normally does, he had fallen asleep trying to decipher the book, he slowly closes it as he reaches for his own spell book preparing his spells for the day. Once finished he gets out of bed and proceeds to wash and get on a new pair of clothes before going down to meet the others.

The normally talkative gnome remains quiet as the others discuss what they were going to do about the latest newcomer to the group. He gives simple answers or just nodding or shaking his head as needed. Only the objects taken from the hag seems to give him pause.

He will examine each object with interest trying to figure out what is what, if he has to he will cast detect magic.
