[QUOTE="Thomas Hobbes, post: 1475062, member: 8623"] [size=1]No worries, Erekose- looked up the old text myself. Strictly for my own reference: [spoiler]You know that there are a number of small stone pillars with ancient runes on them that encircle the Skyreach tree. That area of the forest lies within a small valley towards the western side of the forest, before the terrain climbs into the mountains. Within the dense forest many dangerous creatures lurk and it has proven troublesome in the past.[/spoiler][/size] Mahe leaves off his own comment on his low opinion of "fate", and instead answers Mary's question contemplatively. "Aye, Mary, there's no tree of that name I've heard of either- but you know as well as I names change." He points to the many dogs. "Those've been called dog, hound, [i]canid[/i], [i]huan[/i], and many others," he says, listing names in the common, Elven, and Halfling tongues, "and then there is their [i]true[/i] name, which I'll not speak in such a place as this." He casts his eyes around the tavern. "The Skyreach tree, though- such [i]I[/i] call it, in any case- that sounds like it might be what you're lookin' for. Just this side of the mountains, a huge tree surrounded by pillars with ancient runes- I've never been able to make heads or tails of 'em, not have I met anyone who could. Dangerous place, the deep forest," he continues. "If we be headin' that way, we best be on our guard." He gives Dara a nod. "Well-met by lamplight, or some such nonsense. Never was much for poetry. In any case, fair weather to you." [/QUOTE]
