Now this is where nomenclature gets in the way. Within the Gatekeeper sect, there exists a hierarchy. It is mostly composed of non-druids; barbarians, rangers, hunters of all kinds. The few druids that there are make up the whole of the 'elder' responsibilities. The highest of which are called the 'gatekeepers'. There are only a handful of them, literally. They are very powerful, and very busy. Next down are the initiates. There are 3 dozen initiates, who are generally multiclass druids. Then there are the 'aspirants', of which you are one. They generally lead smaller teams of hunters. There are less than 200 aspirants in the whole sect. This particular group is a little bigger, and Kruthak seems to be a little tougher. You don't know him, but chances are he commands a bit more authority than is readily apparent. It's a lot, I know; but you're the one who chose a dying Orc religion, from the Shadow Marches. ;)

"No, none of us have been in contact with Goran recently. He has been...occupied. With what, I do not know. He is usually more regular in his communication.

I will leave you to your duties, then. We are engaged in a hunt, and must depart shortly. Though Zillia is rooted to the spot, I'm sure her assistant will speak with you shortly."

"Ah...the ritual. Know that we would never be in such a place as this if it were not for the work to be done. Zillia must maintain her focus. We are but some of the Hunters out in full force today.

I am Kruthak Thornfist. We have travelled far, and have much to do. Shall you help, or hinder, on this day?"

One of the orcs in the back chimes in: "You? A Hunter? How dare y--" before the leader shuts him up with a disapproving glance. He turns again to Starlan, switching from Orcish to Druidic and says: "Know too that I have hunted with Goran. Zillia is inside, meditating. What is so urgent that you should disrupt her?"

The Orc eyes you suspiciously, waiting for the right response.

The big Orc turns to the others and begins speaking to them in Orcish, pointing at Starlan;
"The Hunter's role is to hunt. Prey are to be preyed upon. Which one are you? And what do you know of Goran?"
