"I greet you, Ylyndar, Aetoron, and Calanthir," Garuk replies with a nod. "In truth, it is a bit overwhelming. I am not used to so many people gathered in one place. It has been some time since I was last in a gathering larger than those at the temple...well, unless you count animals."

"Good day to you, Garuk," the baron says, offering his hand. "If Jhod recommends you, that's good enough for me." He smiles. "We'll be heading out into the wilds again soon to explore the borders of our land and to clear the land of trouble. You're welcome to join us when next we depart."

"That sounds good," the half-orc replies, gripping the baron's hand and shaking it heartily. "It would please me to be in the wild again, if only for a short time. Are there any duties you would have me perform while I am here?"

Jhod pats the half orc on the back, "Now you have to be aware that this group likes to stick their neck out, even if the Baron shouldn't be out there doing it. Yet without them this little barony would be in deep trouble, and really would not exist. If you go with them, and I think you should, you have to promise me to keep the Baron alive. Come back with a dead Calanthir, and it would be good for morale around here." He smiles at the Baron and the others.

"Fang and I'll watch out for them, Jhod," Garuk replies with a grin. "Wouldn't mind the action either."

"Welcome aboard, Garuk." Ylyndar turns to Cal, "speaking of sticking our necks out, I think we will have to deal with the Troll rumors ourselves. Nobody has seen a Troll yet but there is definitely something big causing problems."

The End
The festival begins, there is singing, dancing, drinking, eating, (lots of pies made from Sevtlana's recipes), and rides for the kids (pony, wagon, and otherwise). The day is full of handshaking and meet and greets with the locals, tours of the castle are given, and before you realize the day has turned to evening, and then to night and all the lamps in Stagfall are lit up. You've had a chance to speak to Jhod and Garuk more, and it seems Garuk might be a nice fit for your next trip into the wild. He's set up with Jhod in a house in town and told to be ready in a few days for a venture into the wilds.
