Fixing his gaze on each in turn with what he hoped was a winning smile, Talsarios began to introduce himself:"Quite so! I am Alastor Talsarios, leading scholar in the field of anthropology - perhaps you have read my treatise? no? No matter. I am visiting these lands to make a study of the indigenous humanoids and their fascinating primitive cultures." - the young man became quite excited as he continued - "Do you know some of these goblinoid tribe even practice cannibalism? Amazing! If you can call it cannibalism, the eating of other races... I haven't read of or observed them eating their own kind... but I digress."
He lowered his voice and continued, pointing approximately to the respective landmarks and places as he mentioned them. "I have travelled out of the Empire via Specularum and Kelvin to this spot, most recently with a small party of retainers, who I am appalled to say have met their untimely end yonder at the nasty hands of the local goblins in that supposedly abandonned keep over there. Since then, having escaped, I have hidden in a hollow of undergrowth and observed disorganised and whimsical the comings and goings the goblins, in growing trepidation I might add, looking for an escape for a little more or less than a day now."
Talsarios nods and looks at the small audience with a smile, adding: "And this is a man of my household, Gregaros."
