<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Brand, the Dragon Knight</span></strong><br/><br/>Brand nodded with some satisfaction as he watched Ash scamper away, not bothering to follow after him.  Staying where he was, to the left of the wagon and a bit more front, would allow him to intercept the beast should it attack or aid Cidan in the front if necessary.  It also meant, and Brand was slightly embarrassed to admit this to himself, he got a good view of Hanali and Requiem.<br/>Returning Hanali's nod with a nonchalant shrug and a small smile, Brand turned to Almir, "Fair point.  Why settle for mountains in the distance when pleasant company can be close by."<br/><br/>Hearing Descher's comment, Brand wondered just how much the man knew about Brand, and what he knew if anything at all.  Quelling his apprehension and the desire to interrogate the man later on, Brand looked at Hanali.<br/>"I wouldn't expect anything less too spectacular from me," Brand said.  "As you can see, I favour the blade, and am of the opinion that a foe felled quickly is a foe causing less harm.  Not very clever, I'll admit, but it has suited me best throughout my travels.  I believe Requiem and Tor will provide more interesting abilities."<br/>Speaking of the new elf, Brand bowed his head, "I assume that comment refers to Almir, as I'm hardly gracious, just exercising the lessons I was taught by my village.  I am Brand, and it is a pleasure to meet you."<br/><br/>Brand was slowly getting used to the notion that there was going to be attractive women on the journey.  He still hadn't gotten completely comfortable and relaxed, but it seemed he'd be able to keep himself under control for the time being.  Focusing on the dangers around them and keeping an eye of Ash would help concentrate his mind.  Certainly what Cidan had to say of the dangers ahead was occupying his thoughts.<br/>"Hmm, I won't be able to contribute much with that.  I'm not much with a bow, nor do I have one with me."<br/>The figures up ahead made him frown a little and he focus on them.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2011-06-17 23:39:40, Wheresmycow (uid: 13954) rolls: 1d20a20 Result: 31 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=27839)</div></div>
