    Gawair:

    Gawair turned and started to stare into space as the bird was mentioned. Truth be told he kind of forgot that animals did not usually follow people like that, (considering his house it was an understandable mistake). And he knew what she was. Druids. He had no love for druids, not since the incident. Not since the change. His right hand went over his left forearm, retracing the wound, and his left leg started to quiver and shake. Spaced out, there was a terror in his eyes, and when the woman came back he let out a smile, but was suddenly very much withdrawn. He thanked her in common, and began to drink at the wine, sipping it, but not really tasting it. The bread was much the same way. His left leg continued to twitch, stammering on the floor as if tapping a secret code with his heel, and otherwise cause a bit of noise.

    He completely dismissed the gnome, didn't even hear them, and had he heard his companions speak so openly he would have reacted very quickly, but that was not the case. The case was that the girl came back. And his companions left.

    What he did catch was the glare. Quickly Gawair came back to normal, and stared back. He said, "I'll do what I can" as the delayed information came more coherant and more aware to him. I have no love for ..." he trailed off, made a scowl, and then continued at the wine, which tasted much better now, and sniffed the delicious bread before getting at it with a good deal more gusto.

    Gawair, after the party had left, took a look at the note, turned it over on the table, and then looked very pale. He thought she was talking about him. Him and his nature.

    But how did he know? What led her to that conclusion? What did he do? Did Surge say something? No, he doubted that was the case.

    He sighed as the colour came back to his face. as he took another sip at the wine, and took a glance at Azgrim before leaving the table (leaving an apropriatly large tip) and followed suit without saying a word. It was probably best to just kill her.

    smile Re: Eberron: The Corruption

    Lorei smiles and says "of course".

    She goes inside and draws a small map on the floor. "Not only do I know where the camp is, I know the check points, the guard stations, and the druidic paths that even the slavers don't know. But I can't take on all of them on my own. If you are sincere about wanting to change it, I can get you there. Interested?"

    Surge stares at Lorei for a moment before answering.

    "I am sorry, but we know nothing about a camp. We are just tracking down a lead at this point," he looks over at Darren, as if he was unsure of how much he could give away, "Where is this camp?"

    "I don't know if i'm interested yet. But if you know of those slavers then we know someone you might want to talk to."

    (That way we might get paid. I'm all for taking out slaver scum but i'm even more for it if it pays too. This isn't so different from bounty hunting after all.)

    Lorei thinks for a moment. "I would like more allies, if you think he is trust worthy. It is in the deepest part the northern wood. It would be difficult to any but the location can only truly be found by someone of the druids."

    Gawair:

    Gawair, who had gotten lost (a truly pathetic tracker) whilst following the team, eventually caught up and clued into what they were saying. From the corner of the trail, he said, whilst revealing himself, "Aye, he'd like to know ... he hated those slavers, never seen such anger." He nodded from the darkened area he was in.

    Besides that, he still wasn't sure whether or not he wanted to pursue this whole incident involving the houses.

    "Hold on just a moment."

    Darren steps up right to Gawair and looks himstraight in the eyes.

    "Just to be perfectly clear about this: You better get your act together this time. Try to pull the vanishing act on us again and you can kiss your share goodbye. Is that clear?"

    Gawair:

    Gawair gave the masked-man rogue the coldest, harshest, most intimidating look he could muster. And then said, "I'll keep that in mind." Afterwords he turned his head away and led the way back, and with a look of deep sorrow and convention took a look at Surge and continues on.

    After a couple of steps he controlled the urge to chuckle, as he thought, he may be the one who wears the mask, but I'm the one who has to carry on forward, lying, being deceitful, being the one to hold the blame. He shrugged and moved on.

    Just to see how intimidating he actually was. Darren is not compelled to react in anyway, but I thought it would be fun.

    Darren flinches just a bit when Gawair stares at him. But still...

    Strange, somehting didn't add up here. That guy didn't seem like someone to hide during a fight where his companions were in mortal danger. And yet he had been nowhere to be seen while Alokor and Azgrim were mercilessly cut down by the warforged.

    Although... coming to think of it... there had been the strange figure on the crates ... Naa.

    "Fine. Let's go meet our employer then."

    Gawair:

    Gawair led the way back to where he was said to meet the employer, but otherwise remained very silent, not really thinking, just kind of moving, and staring at the moons and stars that circled around Ebberron, circled, and circled and circled.

    The guard from Deneith (ie. your employers), mentioned coming back tomorrow morning for possible follow-up work. Unfortunately, by then, it will be much more difficult to follow this possible slave lead. Darren figures they'll probably just ask to investigate the identity of some of the assailants on the train, something that could wait if necessary and could be investigated in the group's free time.

    Asking around after awhile, Darren also comes across an interesting lead. Apparently, singing goblins are the trademark of one such goblin mercenary known as "The Professor," a freelance demolition man and saboteur with multiple office branches, including one not too far outside town. The group is warned, however, that these goblins might be a bit unstable, to the point where they might be suicidal as well.

    EDIT: Belaean currently waits at the Orien station, hoping the adventurers from earlier got his message and are further willing to look into this slavery business. It wouldn't be long until the train that the representative of the noble in question would be leaving.
