"This forest was once my home.  I'm cursed to stay here and mourn it's loss." he answered with a sad look on his face.  "So I stay here and pray for the eventual return of my home, though it's been a thousand years since this forest was corrupted."<br/><br/>He sighs and points to the left, "If you seek demons, in that direction there is a cave that several imps make their home in.  While the imps individually don't have much in the way of gems, they may have a stash somewhere in their cave."<br/><br/>He points to the right, "That way, somewhere, lays the hidden goblin town of Crankfuck."  He rolls his eyes but continues, "I know not where it is, but if you get closer to it, you'll find more and more of the sneaky green bastards."<br/><br/>He points off to the left and behind him, "Don't go that way though, the corrupted glade is a pleasure trap designed to corrupt those who relax too long in it's depths.  Also nothing to fight there... most likely."<br/><br/>He sits down on a rock and crosses his legs as he closes his eye.  He's not dismissing you, but he appears to be almost asleep immediately.
