Thoroughly drenched, tired to his bones, and punished by a wracking cough, Enoch rides up to the gates of the estate and peers through the rain up at the house.He thinks, "It's already evening, so surely I can wait until tomorrow morning to pay a visit. Right now I want to dry off next to a fire, have a nice meal and some warm mead." After asking some locals the way to the nearest inn, Enoch limps inside, removes his cloak, and seats himself near the fire in the common room.A smile comes to Enoch's face as he sits back soaking in the lively atmosphere, but his mood turns to melancholy as he realizes he wasn't just looking for warmth, dryness, and food in his belly - this place reminds him of home, and it has been weeks since he has had any real contact with others.  A distant look comes into his eye, and once again Enoch begins to wonder if he choose the right life for himself.Clutching his holy symbol, he closes his eyes and prays, "Oh Fharlanghn, Dweller on the Horizon, have mercy upon your humble servant.  I am not worthy of your blessings - I know the past month of travel has been a test, and now look at me, one of your agents in this world, saddlesore, down with a cold, and worst of all homesick. But I made a commitment to you and Joab and I won't give up. I will strive to set a better example, if you still have use for me. Please lead me to do your will, and bless the road ahead of me with your divine luck. Oh and please also bless Daltia with your favor, wherever she is."Enoch is too shy to actively seek out conversation, but he does keep his ears open to see if anyone is discussing anything related to the NeMoren estate. That night he sleeps in the common room, taking comfort from the snores of fellow travelers.Leaving his rented horse at the Inn's stable the next morning, Enoch trudges through the rain and mud to the NeMoren estate, asking himself "Does it ever stop raining around here?" and knocks on the door.Enoch has brown eyes and long, dirty blond hair pulled back into a ponytail. He has a lanky build and towers over most other humans at 6'4". His face is oval-shaped, tanned, unlined, and framed by a sparse beard. He appears to be in his mid- to late-teens.He carries a quarterstaff and a buckler, but has no obvious martial weapons or armor. He wears a sturdy but wet and worn brown cloak with faded green clothing and a wooden holy symbol to Fharlanghn visible underneath. He has a bad cough.</blockquote>
