Moss nods his agreement, even as he considers the wider implications of her suggestion. He has never seen a a sentient, or nearly so creature made to serve man or elf in such a fashion, and the tortle is unsure what sort of purpose it might serve. Still she is right in suggesting that the best method will be to simply speak to the elf about the matter, and he to that task, deciding to lead up such an investiation.<br/><br/>"I will speak with the elf. He seems friendly enough, and I have a rare skill in understanding people, and engaging them in conversation. Some have said that I am too good at speaking, and that I should do it less, but in this case it seems an easy enough manner to address."<br/><br/>His piece said, the druid approaches the elf where he stands and addressing him directly, in his usual drawn out manner. The tortle seems to have an endless affection for mangling otherwise simple conversations. Truly his was a rare gift.<br/><br/>"Hello friend elf. I understand that you work for Lord Frostspear, and that you offer reward for the capture of a shambling mound. My associate and I are suitably capable at such endeavors, and would be willing to undertake such a mission, provided that it pays the gold she requires, and allows me to assist the plant, as I wish. She cares more deeply for the money than the lives of innocents, but I cam compassionate enough for us both. I would like to know what service this shambling mound provides, and if it undertook this task willingly, or as a result of your people's enslavement of it. I am not generally in favor of the latter, though it is a sadly common occurrence inf our day to day lives. My friend though, will want to know what manner of profit can be achieved."
