Admittedly, having your father figure also qualify as Numerian Archaeologist and pass it on is a very nice side-step, and going from Jalmeray to Absalom and then up the Sellen river is an entirely routine trip that can be made without any serious challenges so long as one has coin for it, so you handled it somewhat more elegantly.<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=303274.msg14812512#msg14812512">Quote from: Bibliophilia on 13-04-2019, 13:39:37</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Well, as both Banhi and Jeffrey have the same campaign trait, it would make perfect sense for them to have known one another, even if only by reputation or as acquaintances/peers.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Alas, we're from the opposite sides of the Inner Sea, and Smiles' skills were picked up on the sly here and there, he has no connections to any kind of internation scholarly community. So unless she's arrived early, they'll be meeting on the Numerian border.<br/><br/>I can see them making fast friends though, since specifically coming all the way here to poke around the alium ruins is something he can relate to, and I suspect Banhi would be interested in speaking with someone more familiar with the subject than herself (since Jeffrey is also a technologist and mechanic)?
