In repsonse to Balmorrow's question, he hesitates, choosing his words carefully:"My stake? Janeli the legendary dragon-slayer, of whose valour you all heard me sing earlier this evening, never asked what treasure he might expect when he decided to go hunting dragons. He simply saw a community suffering from their ravages and decided to do what needed to be done then. So it is with all the great men of courage. They do not set out to be heroes for a living. They merely find themselves in the wrong place at the right time, and respond as needed. Having spent my life collecting songs about them, I think I should know. Tonight, I find myself in the wrong place at the right time. Within a few feet of me an assassin attempts at the life of my host, but I am around just when it seems it is time for the assassins' enemies to act decisively. I too am prepared to do what must be done. And I can promise you total secrecy as long as the threat of the Black Hand remains; however, once it is history, and the bravery of those who vanquish it the stuff of song and story, I will no doubt be singing your praises to the six corners of Enworld."</blockquote>
