The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 58, factoring in the -10.

The dwarf grunts, "Lots of people think wrong, that's all. But you're right, the present's more important." He puts down his weapon and looks to, "Gil Mountain-Arms," he introduces himself, "Son of Gurl Mountain-Arms. I head higher up to seek the wisdom of the Dwarffather."

[Nephrite]

"Ah, to Solania and then Erackinor?" Moore asks as he smiles at the introduction. "Moore -- ah... just Moore. I work with Aurora. May I ask what you're seeking wisdom on? I'm here doing much the same -- ah, but I suppose most people up this far probably are."

[Anastasia]

"My people have found a new metal," The dwarf replies, "One we cannot forge ourselves. My pilgrimage will take me Moradin, who can forge anything."

[Nephrite]

"Oh, wow! Do you mind if I take a look at it, if you have any with you? I understand if you want to keep it a 'trade secret,' though." Moore says with a smile. "But I might be able to help you with some other ideas on it."

[Anastasia]

"It is for dwarves," Gil says firmly, "It is not proper to share it until Moradin has spoken."

[Nephrite]

"Of course. Well, we have some legendary crafters in Aurora, so if he deems it allowed to be shared with other like-minded folk, then please let us know." Moore says with a smile. "We're always trying to make better tools to deal with devils and Hell in general. Maybe I should take a trip to Erackinor sometime myself and see if anyone would be interested in working with us."

[Anastasia]

A mere nod at that from the dwarf, "I wish you well then."

[Nephrite]

"Good luck on your journey up." Moore says as he flies back and away. Is that knight done with his holy text yet? He looks over in his direction.

[Anastasia]

He's still reading.

[Nephrite]

He will try the other one -- the half-elven woman, then. "Ah, excuse me, do you mind some company?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"Not at all," She says, a smile. "A forest spirit here? You're as far away from home as I am."

[Nephrite]

"Haha, interesting times we live in, yes?" Moore says with a flourishing bow. "Moore, of Aurora." He keeps telling people that, but no one ever seems to comment on it, maybe he needs to add some more fluff... "I'm on my way to Xiranthador -- ah, well, that's my intended destination anyway." He shrugs with a smile. "We'll see where the Mountain wishes me to go."

[Anastasia]

"Ella," She introduces herself, "Heading towards Solania. Xiran...dathor?" A stumble over the word, "That's a big library, isn't it?"

[Nephrite]

"Yes, that's quite right!" Moore says with a nod. "I'm looking for some information on something, where better to find it?" He asks rhetorically. "What do you hope to find in Solania, if... ah, that isn't prying too much?"
