Randal blinked at the new arrival.  A Dryad was a powerful ally indeed, although he wondered at how it could venture so far from it's tree... although admittedly, his own lore on the subject was shaky at best, and he could be mistaken about that particular limitation....<br/><br/>"Your company on this quest would be most welcome, Wood's Mistress... you and your feline companion both.  If no one has any objections, I propose we set out at once... and rest, if need be, at the Huntsilver Estates."<br/><br/>He turns to Arivel.  "As for what help we may find there, I noted that more than one Tymoran was moving through the temple of Lathander today,  trying to recruit brave souls for the purpose of the dragon's defeat... I suspect their message was the same to all.  If they found anyone that we have not yet encountered ourselves, no doubt they will first head to the Huntsilver's."<br/><br/>The armored cleric shrugs.  "In any case, it is one step closer to our foe, and a good base of operations to set out from, so even if no others have ventured this quest, it is as good a place to start as any."
