If she does speak Flametongue, she's not inclined to show it.<br/><br/>Evening Glory's approach seems to work better, as she flicks a brief hand gesture to indicate he should continue speaking after he asks her permission, and she lowers the spear slightly. She doesn't seem like she's about to start killing anyone, but her posture still shows readiness rather than relaxation, particularly to those who are warriors themselves.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Old Realm</div><div class="spoiler_body">"You are the first to come here in a very long time,"</div></div>she admits, nodding.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Old Realm</div><div class="spoiler_body">"A few managed to find this tomb, in the decades after my watch began, but after a century or so, no, no one else until recently. Oh, I knew when the tomb was opened, I could feel the change, but none had managed to find their way here. For that accomplishment, I salute you."</div></div>Her weapon rose, as she brandished it forwards, point raised towards the ceiling before she grounded it again, the butt now resting against the floor.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Old Realm</div><div class="spoiler_body">"As for finding a way to release me through a challenge .. while I would shed no tears in ending my watch here, I fear there is no challenge you could offer me that I could not triumph in. However, by the terms of my binding, should I be defeated then my service would be ended. I believe that the one who bound me here felt that that could only occur via combat, but they did not know what I might face in the fullness of time so did not specifically limit it to that. And, since they also gave the impression my service would only be required for .. substantially less time than I have been here .. then I will humour your request."</div></div><br/><br/>The blade rose again to point at his chest.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Old Realm</div><div class="spoiler_body">"But do not think that I will do any less than my best to win."</div></div>She gave a smile and looked around at the group.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Old Realm</div><div class="spoiler_body">"Decide on your challenge and let your champion step forth."</div></div>
