Darrid steps forward. "We have no aggressive intentions, we are merely looking for Milon Rhoddam. There are some plants we need to locate and were told he was the best one to talk to."
Hanthan sits upon his horse, now full with stew in place of trail rations for once. "Greetings Master Trookshavits, we have been sent by the herblist in yon town to talk with a woodsmen named Milon Rhoddam. We are told he is well versed in the fauna of the area and have come to request his assistance in procuring a few specimens for said herblist." he says pleasantly

Faunra looks around and then when the man leaves she looks a little disappointed. Well...what an odd man. I've spent most of my life with my people so I wonder is such odd behavior common for humans?
"Greetings to you sir, me and my companions have been sent by a herbalist to acquire some rare herbs. She told us you knew where to find such things. So here we are ' Hanathan says with a charming smile "Seeking your aid, Good sir"

Faunra looks over the map, her face scrunching up at the simplicity of it. Thank you, you have been of great helpshe says trying her best to sound appreciative.
"So, Faunra, was it? Where to? Maybe a few of you are more knowledgeable of the wilderness then I' He says as he looks a bit lost at the map. "Is that star us? that long thing a road? I see a house a tree and a black blob." he says, not being very helpful.
Darrid looks at the crude map, puzzling over the scale and roughness of the details.
"Well I say we head to the tree first, it shouldn't be that hard to find a huge old tree. Should it?"
Faunra nods at Hanathan Yes my name is Faunra and I agree with Darrid that we should try to find the tree first, it should logically be the easiest to find.
[from behind your group, you hear in a female's voice]
"The best place to hide a tree is in a forest, so your looking for a needle in a hay stack. The Vale has all sorts or surprises if your unprepared. If it's for a cure, to save the people of Falcon's Hollow, I'll lend you my hand."
[when you turn to face where the voice came from you see;
An Ulfen Woman with an impressive stature two heads above an average woman's height. She has a great build with pale skin, Emerald Green Eyes and Golden Copper Red Hair in a braid that starts at the base of the skull and ends near her waist.
She is wearing a chain shirt and some old gleaves over her peasants clothes. On her back one can see a Halberd, a longsword, a shield and a back pack containing her gear.]
[She walk toward the group then, looks at the map, looks at Milon Rhoddam and asks]
"Are there any houses next to the river with a boat?, If so how long would it take to get there from the dwarven ruins? And which way is the river running?"
[she stops her questions, pauses and adds]
"If luck is with us it could remove a days journey back or towards the ruins."
[she then thinks of an old quote "Fore Warned is Fore Armed," what creatures could live in the Vale and asks]
"Generally what creatures do you encounter in the Vale, when you have gone in, or any rumoured creatures in the Vale. As they say "Fore warned is Fore Armed" and I think it holds true."
[she pauses and puts her right index finger to her chin and replies]
"So its a no go for the river route,
What about the creatures in the Vale?"
[she replies]
"So effectively the standard and a little extra."
[she replies]
"Thank you for your help."
Faunra turns to look at the woman and she sighs slightly. Good I won't be the only woman here for these men to oggle she thinks to herself. As the man leaves she looks at her party members. So where to first?
[she replies]
"The tree looks like it is the first on the route, and it would be wise to get want we need as we go by."
"Though our return route is still up in the air."
[she pauses for a second, then says]
"Oh that's right I have not introduced myself, name's Titania Evangeline Snow-fell, and you are."
Understanding that nonelf's have a weird custom of shaking hands Faunra will extend her hand and grip Titania's behind the wrist and shake once. Faunra Variel
[Titania shakes hands with Faunra Variel]
Darrid sizes up the newcomer and offers his arm in greeting. "Darrid is the name, if you are here to help this poor town then who am I to refuse your assistance."
Looking once again at the crude map Darrid says, "I still think the big tree is the way to start. regardless of whatever the rest of you decide is best we need to get started on our way, the last thing I want is to be wandering aimlessly through the forest in the dark."
[she gives a handshake to Darrid's hand]
[she replies]
"Well, looks like its three votes for the tree, and your right time is of the essence."
Knowing that the humans she's traveling with might be having a bit of a hard time seeing in the dim light Faunra will draw her mace and sing a few words and the mace starts to glow.
As they travel deeper into the woods she holds out her hand for the party to stop. She then seems to concentrait for a second and then speaks. Up ahead, closer to the lake, there is a animal whimpering. We must go free the poor creature. She will start heading towards the lake.
[she replies]
"I hear it as well, lets approach. But cautiously, as the noise of an injured animal attracts predators."
Faunra's eyes narrow as she looks at the tree. She points at the fox in the trap, her eyes still fixed on the tree. She will then approach the tree and start to sing.
[Titania sees Faunra cast a spell and whispers]
"So there was something waiting to strike."
Faunra waves a hand at Titania to be quiet and then starts to sing another tune.
Concentration check to keep lullaby up while casting sleep:
[Titania, shuts up and smiles]
[Titania whispers to Faunra]
"Well, what now, do we sneak to what you put down, or go help the fox?"
Well with that dangerous creature taken care of for a minute she will go help the others free the fox.
