He turned and simply stared at the male, waiting for him to leave. Once he had left, he turned back to the dwarf, and pulled out his notepad with its basic map. "Map of the area I explored so far."<br/><br/>He pointed to each room that had something still in it, naming the slime mounds, brown mold with corpse, the orc corpse, the frog monster corpse, the skulk village, and the entrance to the main area of the ruin. "Sadly, I got turned back there by a monster in a rock, and I need to speak to a scholar to see if they can identify it, and more importantly how to kill it and the slime mound things. Once I get that information and appropriate equipment to deal with them, I plan to head back down, and continue further in, today if at all possible. Excuse me."<br/><br/>He walked over to the door, and opened it, making sure that Ulreth had actually left rather than eavesdropping at the door, before returning to the dwarf. "Apologies, but the rest of this information is best kept close and quiet."<br/><br/>He then continued the briefing to the information gathered, mostly from the skulks about the various other parties that had come in and what times. Specifically, he mentioned that he suspected the party of orcs and the human that had gone in a week ago had done so at about the same time as the Torch had gone out. He also emphasized that the missing council member had definitely gotten into the ruin, but after that, he was presumed MIA.
