Based on Vannalys' knowledge of gillmen, there is nothing in his appearance especially contrary to gillmen appearance. Gillmen are capable of breathing air normally, but have to be fully submerged in water at least once in 24 hrs or suffer damage to their internal organs. You might also recall that Janira spoke of sighting gillmen in these parts, thus discovering these caves.<br/><br/>The gillman responds in his somewhat measured tone.<strong>"I am Uori, a simple gillman on a pilgrimage. I have found the sacred waters already, although fellow pilgrims have gone missing before me."</strong><br/><br/>Although he replies politely, you can tell he is still patiently waiting for an answer to his earlier question, and also to see if you will volunteer your names and intentions also. By the sacred waters, you think he means the large pool where he was kneeling.<br/><br/>As you observe him more closely, Faolan and Sebastian would also notice from his looking at all of you - especially lips - closely and some speech mannerisms, he might also be deaf.<br/><br/>Edit: included deaf note based on earlier perception group roll.
