Jamil listened to the female elf speak of herself, and smiled that they had a mage in their midst. He didn't know what sort of arcanist she was, but it didn't matter; any caster would make things easier. It was then he realized he hadn't introduced himself. He was beginning to speak when he noticed Nurthan looking toward him, and he turned to examine the man. That's when something happened, and like a lunk head he only now noticed the pendant for the first time.<strong>"What the-?"</strong>He questioned at first, his voice lifting just as the thing around his neck began to speak. He had thought it was the man's voice before...<br/><br/>Jamil was sure it had to be a magic item of sorts, but not one he'd ever heard of. The thing spoke some of the more optimistic hubris he had heard recently, though it had some wisdom to it as well. And he had trouble believing he was thinking this about a bloody necklace!<strong>"Right then..."</strong>The range said in a very distant tone, shaking his head at the craziness here.<strong>"Well since I didn't mention my name before, I'm Jamil Eskross; hunter of Shelzar. Not fancy, and not with talking pendants, but...."</strong>He trailed off as if they could get the idea, but he was seriously surprised about whatever the hell that thing was. Hermenos? That was just crazy, the thing had a name.<br/><br/>It wasn't like Jamil hadn't heard of intelligent items before, but he had certainly never ever seen one. Still, it was better then the tendrils that licked the form of their employer. No, scratch that; the tendrils hadn't startled him that much.
