Arngeirr once again laughs heartily at the newcomer's comment about Vern.  "I say old bean, you seem to be more familiar with the monks here than I.  I am Arngeirr, I come from the far north and as you can see I am huge.  Pray tell, what is your name brave traveler?  Perhaps we can assist each other as the monks go about their morning duties.  I myself am attempting to locate brother Zato to ask for his aid in something important."
