Bounding in...|Mount Humontis

[azrayel]

Azrayel takes a quick look around. Spotting the Thieves Guild, he figures it's as good a place as any to get some information.

[azrayel]

With the Thieves Guild providing him with the information he needed, Azrayel procedes with the arduous task of climbing to the top of Mount Humontis.

[Kender Bard]

Along the way, a tree starts to rustle, and one of its branches reaches slowly towards Azrayel.

[azrayel]

Azrayel pricks his ears. He glares hard at the tree, the fingers of his right hand twitching.

[Kender Bard]

A voice, rather eerie and feminine sounding, issues from the tree. "Who are you?"

[azrayel]

Azrayel cautiously answers "Someone looking for adamantite."

[Kender Bard]

"No such mineral exists," the tree responds.

[azrayel]

"And what makes you an expert on the subject?"

[Kender Bard]

Suddenly the tree twists around for a moment, and a dryad separates herself from it. "I am well acquainted with the world. The roots of my tree go deep and they sense no adamantine."

[azrayel]

"Regardless, I'm not ending my quest simply because a dryad has told me too."

[Kender Bard]

"I am warning you," the dryad said simply. "Not telling."

[azrayel]

"I don't have time for people who aren't going to be helpful. You can either give me information that will help me find adamantite, or you can direct me to someone who can help. Otherwise, see ya." Azrayel starts climbing once again.

[Kender Bard]

The dryad pouts, eyeing Azrayel's back for a moment before retreating back into her tree. As Azrayel walks, some of the trees move slightly, as if to watc h his passage, though they make no other movement.

[azrayel]

Getting higher up onto the mountain, Azrayel starts scouting for caves.

[Kender Bard]

A nearby man, a farmer by the looks of it, glances over and calls out, "Do you need any help, lad? Did you get separated on a tour?"
