Eldon - Human Ardent

Before the party makes its approach, Eldon tells everyone to wait a moment. "I'll climb up this tree to get a better look at the area ahead. If I can see out well enough I can probably find a good path for us to approach from."

Eldon drops his pack and halberd at the foot of a tall tree. He rubs his hands together as he examines the trunk for good places to grip, and then begins to climb.
