A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

The snake does what is natural for a snake - it tries to bite you as you bring it up.

AC?

[Iron Dragoon]

I've got 30ft range. I wouldn't bring it that close to me. How big is it?

[Anastasia]

Oh right, TK, had a brain fart. Dur. It's small, just a snake. Disregard the attack roll.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa brings it close enough to speak to, "I can see your red hair, shifter. Speak to me and I'll release you. I have no intention of harming you, unless you continue this charade or try to attack."

[Anastasia]

Suddenly, a red haired man is there, clad in simple clothes and a pair of iron bracers. He eyes you, and in halting Common, "What...do you ...want?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sets him back on the ground, easing the pressure of her TK.

"We're searching for a certain group. Might you have an idea of who I mean?"

[Anastasia]

"Tell me what you want...plainly," he scowls.

[Iron Dragoon]

"We're hunting Sharrans and have information they're here. You're either a hermit or a scout."

[Anastasia]

"Not...that." The man grinds out, "Not this cave."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Do you know where?"

[Anastasia]

"Deep," A single word, emphasized, "DEEP."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Would you be willing to guide us to them?"

[Anastasia]

"No," He says, flatly. "Leave...me."

[Iron Dragoon]

"At least tell me if they're directly below us."

[Anastasia]

A headshake at that, "Ahead, north and below."
