Innoki's made no attempt to hide his nature. I got the impression, both from the way the character who /is/ making that attempt is being played and her description that was a 'specific to character build' thing that the characters would figure out. That looks like it will make for fun RP, and I am okay with that. annnnd... I don't blame them. Innoki is a hair judgmental even about other elves. >.><br/><br/>That having been said. Innoki is not the scholarly type. He's also watched expeditions set up before, and he's going from experience there. 'Don't go digging in unknown territory if you're hungry or tired' - and while he can't speak for most of this group, he'd be willing to bet at least a few of us haven't had much of a chance for rest, much less a good meal.<br/>I'm alright either way - checking out the stash Lorrimor pointed us at is probably a good idea, but Innoki's likely to refuse point-blank to look into the prison before the group's at least had a good night's sleep, if not had a chance to look into the place via the professor's study/other sources in town.<br/><br/>And.. uh. I don't know about YOU, Blinkin, but if I had been told that a high roll on a knowledge check, with sources already dug out by a freshly dead colleague who had time and resources to dig, had got me bupkiss, I-as-player would be seriously considering where I could get high-powered magic/other resources to bring to bear. That suggests we are about to take a step into the deep end of a dark lake full of man-eating crocodiles. Or a Black Pudding disguised as the former. Brr.<br/>
