In turn both shook his hand and introduced themselves.“Melkantur Granitemug at your service” Melkantur said as he bowed his head.“Ribbit!” stated Rigar adamantly. “Oh, yes, lest I forget my faithful companion Rigdar.” Melkantur nodded towards the toad sticking out of his pocket. “Blasted toad always has to get the last word in.”“Ribbit!” Grrr eyed the little toad suspiciously for a moment and then Sasha spoke up. “Sasha” stated the little kobold, “and this here is my bestest friend in the whole world Grrr.” Grrr purred at the mention of his name and rubbed his head up against Sasha’s leg. She smiled down at Grrr and proceeded to scratch behind his ear.“As I was saying perhaps Father Ghared has heard of the great dwarven stronghold Khundrakar? Have you father?” Melkantur asked bluntly. “No, I am sorry I have never heard of this dwarven fortress but my knowledge of such things is sorely lacking.” Ghared said begrudgingly. “However, I am very curious as to what brings you and your friend here to Mudcake?”“Yes, why do you have such an interest in this place, little one?” Melkantur asked curiously. “Most of my knowledge and understanding of Kobolds is unpleasant.”Sasha seemed to disregard the dwarfs last statement and tells them her entire tale barely stopping to take breaths in between. “So you see,” Sasha says finally, “I’m not sure how I got here, or where here actually is, but I know that my father must miss me and I’m sure that Kitty really misses me and I really should be getting back home. The entire time that Sasha was speaking, Grrr worked on an itch behind his ear feverishly.“Ribbit” Rigdar proclaimed from one of Melkantur’s pockets.“Yes indeed Rigdar that is a sad tale indeed,” Melkantur nodded sympathetically. “I really wish I could be of more help. I would also love to see your home, it sounds very much like a place I’ve always dreamed I could live.”“Ribbit!”“A sad tale indeed,” stated Ghared compassionately. “What about you Melkantur, what brings you here?”‘It must be fate’ Ghared thought to himself, ‘fate brought them here.’Melkantur related his tale and Rigdar chimed in occasionally to correct him. “You see Father, I’m very interested in expanding my knowledge of all things both living and dead, but what interests me most is this heirloom I have inherited. It is the only thing I have left of my father. I hope someday I can find it’s past and hopefully tell me more about my own.”“Well I can make no promises,” offered Ghared eagerly. Ghared eyed the two nervously. “However, I am heading off to see a friend of mine in Reme and it is possible that he might be able to help you out. Also I would welcome…”He was completely interrupted when the door to the tavern opened up once again and a man with sorrow filled eyes walked in. ‘Those eyes,’ Ghared thought to himself ‘those eyes, I recognize those eyes,’ and then he fainted.</blockquote>
