OOC: sorry for the wait everyone. Here we go then.
IC:
Feldorn noiselessly moved amongst the trees and the sparse undergrowth. Then suddenly hearing a murmur of voices not too far away he motioned to Roland to hide behind some bushes. He himself advanced some more. Presently Roland could hear hushed voices speaking. A few minutes later Feldorn appeared along with two elves and a human female. He said to Roland: "We shall not have to make a last stand. It has turned out that they are friendly to our cause. Let us go back to the clearing the elves wish to speak with our leader."
They went back to the clearing. From the edge of the clearing Feldorn told the others the same thing he had just told Roland in a few shouted sentences. As the group stood up from among the fallen Feldorn pointed out Turin to one of the elves, who walked overe to him.
"My name is Halar. I know of your quest. Helbion a human ranger we had met told us of your group and requested our help in taking care of the orcs. I am sorry that he did not reach you after giving his message and I am also sorry that we did not manage to get to you before the orcs. I knew Elfalas, we had been friends once, but that was a long time ago. His death pains me much. If he saw you fit to lead the group then you are most certainly a great man. As much as we would like to help you in your mission our first priority is keeping these woods clean of those foul orcs. However one member of my group wishes to join with you. She is a healer and we have several other healers so after some discussion with here I decided that if you shall take her I shall let her go. She is called Robyn Stratsworth. We would really like to stay and help you but the orcs are drawing near. Do not worry about the orcs. We shall take care of them. Now only the decision whether you take on Robyn remains. I can tell you that seh has been a most useful member in my group and that she had saved several lives." .
During the time it took the elf to say all of this Feldorn had been talking in rapid elvish with the other elf some distance away from the party. He walked up to Turin just as Halas finished speaking. "I have just learnt many useful things about the surrounding woods. There are many places to hide and routes which are safe. We shall be able to put this knowledge to much use."
