As Leanna entered the tavern for the second time today, all eyes once again rose to take note of her arrival.  They lingered only for a few brief moments though before the men went back to their drinks and dice games.  She had already lost some of her novelty it seemed.<br/><br/>Wendell watched her with keen blue eyes as she took a seat beside him.  He looked to be in his early-thirties with thick coal black hair and rounded features, neither handsome nor hideous.  A dirty yellow surcoat was worn over his clothing, likely the colors of his missing master.  "Perhaps you ought to buy me one," he answered with a smirk.  "Or am I to believe you came back solely for the joy of my company?"<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>"Bad enough," answered the smith, seeming disinterested in speaking any further on the creatures of the cliffs.  That was not where there were apt to find his Atlie, after all.  "Her name is Meliandre, I can tell you that much.  Known her since I was a young boy, although she's much older than that.  Possibly before Moldave.  You wouldn't know it by looking at her though.  Looks not a day older than forty, if that."  He shook his head, displaying a mortal's typical disbelief of elvish longevity.  "She was alive during the fall, I don't doubt it, which is more than is true of anyone else around here.  What there is to tell, likely she can tell it to you, but she doesn't care for visitors."<br/><br/>A troubled expression cut across his face as he studied Lia but it passed after a moment.  "As I promised, I'll give you her location for my daughter's safety.  It is up to you what you do with it…only…  The forest is dangerous.  It too dates before the fall and many strange creatures make a home in it, especially of late.  I wouldn’t go wandering trying to find her on your own…  In truth, if you go at all, you may want to hire one of the hunters around town to play guide.  Most are honest enough men…for hereabouts, anyways."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">If you want to try to charm Wendell roll a CHA check w/ d20.  In fact, any time you think your characters are doing something that might be opposed, roll a d20, as that will speed things along for us. </div></div>
