[ It's your friendly neighborhood drow, hanging out somewhere in the jungle. He's idly tossing a dagger into the air, then catching it, then tossing, and so on. ]
Good evening, my friends.
[ He hasn't met nearly so many of Riverview's population as he'd like, but he's comfortable speaking warmly, casually, as though they've all known each other for years. He leans against a tall, mossy tree, eyes on the dagger as it glints in the low sun's light. ]
I happened to be doing a little light exploring, a little minor surveying ... and I came across something interesting. Ruins of some sort, absolutely emanating with mysterious power. I couldn't quite map the shape of the place, unfortunately--as soon as I began drawing near, the jungle came even more alive than usual. Even the lovely birds were angry with me.
[ He catches the dagger for the final time, then slides it into some unknown recess of his jacket. ]
Now, I am of humble merchant stock, but I can defend myself, if I must. I progressed as far as I dared, but something began to feel wrong. I heard voices--strange, incomprehensible chanting. I felt dizzy, woozy. I took the wise path and retreated.
[ He shakes his head. ]
But, before I escaped, I saw a few artifacts scattered through the underbrush, marking a haphazard trail into the ruins. I dared not take one, but they were all inscribed with a certain symbol.
[ He steps aside from the tree he's been leaning against. This symbol is carved into the bark. ]
Not sure what it means, but I have an uneasy feeling just looking at it.
[ He seems thoughtful for a second, then shakes his head. Brightens up. ]
Anyway! I would very much like to get to the bottom of this, but, as mentioned, I'm merely a merchant. My meager skill is not enough to overcome those ruins alone. Any help would therefore be appreciated.
And--one more thing. If you see this symbol anywhere in town, I'd turn around and walk away.

[ Which is to say he'd take National Treasure over Indiana Jones any day. No offense to the late Mr. Ford. ]
So... did you still want help?
no subject
[ True in a general sense, honestly. ]
Yourself included.
[ In other words: yes, but he's not going to literally strongarm John into it. ]
no subject
Okay, well, if that's a yes, you're going to have to tell me where you want me to meet you? Like directions or something because I have no idea where you are.
no subject
We're not going now. Talk to me in a few weeks, when I've got everyone and everything together.
no subject
[ He's no troll, but if he knew elves could be so cranky, he never would have been as excited to meet one... ]
