"That would be a Mister Cassidan del Mora." Yoshiki quickly follows behind Elenka and her wooden companion staying close behind, but making sure to stay out of the woodman's personal space. As always, his eyes dart around the sides of the road looking for anything that grabs his attention.

Mortar removes hinself from the carriage a few moments later. "Aye, dirty lizard folk. Lucky I didn't make a new coin purse out of that one." Mortar looks around, trying to find any evidence of another carriage making passage through the crossroads. As Mortar walks just off to the side of Elanka and her guardian, he reveals his skills to her. "I am an experienced tracker and skirmisher. And from what I can see yer either a druid or a conjurer of sorts."

"As am I. Me training has taken many years, most of them focused on certain races as they are the enemies of me people. Track and kill is the method." Mortar continues with his search. As Mortar is talking he removes his crossbow from its resting place and loads a bolt.

Vincenzo is about to give his customary full name, but thinks better of it.
"Vincenzo, of Venza" He then draws his rapier and walks the flank of the wood man, opposite of the woodman's mistress

The group walks along the path as it traces around the Tenebrous Wood. Mortar tries to locate some evidence of any caravan or velvet merchant, but does not seem to find any... until he comes to a single path, perhaps just wide enough for a carriage, leading into the forest.
The path, little more than wheel ruts.

Elenka, human female Summoner
Elenka keeps an eye on Mortar; she clearly has great respect for dwarves, particularly dwarves of the Seithr Mountains. She paraphrases Yoshiki's question back at him, more to give herself time to think than for any other reason. "How did I come by Drevezh'korol? It's a bit of a story." She continues on quietly for a bit before continuing.
"At my naming ceremony, when I was to receive the blessings of the gods, one of the wise women who dwell in the Chernyj Wood and strive after the wisdom of the goddess made an appearance with a warning and a promise. The promise was that Lesovik, consort of Erwahai and King of Chernyj Wood, would send a son of the forest to watch over me. When I need a guardian, I ask Lesovik to send me Drevezh'korol and he comes." She smiles but for some reason there is a bit of sadness to it.
"Ah! Looks like you have found our path, Master Foehammer." Drev's eyes fairly glow with an eagerness to set off down the overgrown trail.
"What about yourself? What brings you to a foreign land to traipse down overgrown paths in search of exotic cushionry?"

"Aye, it would seem so Master Drev. Kinda makes ya feel at?" Mortar pauses and looks back to the majestic woodland guardian. "I bet you get one crazy hide buff from being in this thicket. If I may Drev would you mind staying just off to the side of the trail? This way we could have an ace up our sleeve if we are approached by bandits or other bottom feeders." Mortar winks at Drev. "But if you feel that your skills are better suited next to Elanka, I understand." Mortar looks back to the trail crossbow still in hand.

Yoshiki listens as Elenka explains her history with her guardian, barely understanding any of it but nodding as if he did. He hears her counter question, but is immediately distracted by Mortar's discovery of the trail. Why that looks just like a... He shakes his head and keeps the thought to himself as there is a lady present. He listens as Mortar discusses tactics. "We should be careful about any traps these bandits may have set. We don't want to walk blindly into them."
After a short pause, he suddenly realizes he never answered Elenka. He turns to her and says, "I'll have to admit, seeking out exotic cushionry is not what I had in mind when I came here looking for work. I was looking to utilize by training for more noble of causes, but until I find such an opportunity... But bringing justice to a band of bandits who are attacking travelers is a good start."
