Goren seemed to have an answer for the gruff expedition leader's question prepared ahead of time. He leaned forward to make eye contact, setting his drink down in the process. "Aye, I've gone deep before. Me pa and I, we've been on a few expeditions looking for clues to the keep." This was punctuated with a slow shake of the scholar's head. "All for naught, though. You're the only real lead I've found in many years. So aye, I've fought in the dark. I've fought where there was barely enough elbow room to nock an arrow and I've killed green things of various sizes." He finished of by picking up his drink for a good swig, casting curious glances at his new companions.
