Oh, letting Garrett know won't be necessary.  Like any good reporter should, he speaks the kNot languages of the world.  Including Elven.<br/><br/>Speaking of Garrett... want some power gaming advice, Pistoleer?  He doesn't need bracers of armor.  Buy a Wand of Mage Armor (Or even a wand of Greater Mage Armor) and a wand of Shield, for less than your bracers cost... sell the bracers.  Gain +6 or +8 AC, given a round or so of prep time, something a Man of Garrett's skills will nearly always have.<br/><br/>While your at it, buy a better weapon to enhance your attack...<br/><br/>And maybe some throwing daggers of returning, so he can dance out of range of Ogres and such brutes.
