Sanael Ganahr

As the dawn breaks upon the castle a tired looking elf arrives at the gate. After a brief interchange with the guards, he's allowed inside and shown the way to the guest chambers. There he meets up with Blandamour and Galadria, who have risen early as is their custom.

"Well here is the situation in the woods - appartently the Dragon - don't ask me to pronounce it's name - have used the druids to further its own ends by promising to help them keep the woods free of intruders - only to betray them after their flailed - and costly - attack on our respective groups. It seems that the dragon counted on us killing the druids - and thus removing a powerful faction from the picture."

Sanael pauses shortly and focuses on Blandamour

"Another thing that is perhaps of more use is the head-druids daughter, whom you wounded in the first fight, Blandamour. The way I interpreted his ranting is that he would do anything to have her restored to helth, but his own powers are useless for some reason. So if you know a way to heal the wounds you inflicted, you can have him eating out of your hand. Heh - I bet he wound even volounteer to join your Order, if it would save her"

He chuckles to himself and shakes his head.

" As potential allies I think the druids are a spent force - they've lost to many member to our defenses - but the head-druid have been inside the dragons lair and so he may hold useful information, if you deside to attack it on its home ground. I would advice you to seek him out before tackling the beast - and you should do it soon - from the way they acted in the grove, I don't think the daughter has long to live. And if she dies, I don't think any of us will be exactly welcomed there."

As he finishes his briefing Sanael stifles a yawn.

"But for now I'll try and get a little rest - wake me up when it's time to go."
