Before the Inn, while on the road, Anavren is mildly irritated by the bad singing and drunkeness of McCormick. Anavren slows his walk and sets a pace that will keep him abreast of McCormick's donkey. Anavren arches an eyebrow as he turns to McCormick and says, "You humans can't hold your liquor. And you in particular can't sing like the elven maids. You are also more noisy than a band of marauding orcs and your manners match. If your singing attracts any trouble, or if your drunkeness endangers any of our comrades, I'll shoot you myself." Anavren ends by gesturing with his bow. "You'd be wise to be ready for trouble from outside sources at any moment."

"It is my understanding that you follow Rao, and Rao is the god of peace, reason, and serenity. Your behavior is not peaceful, reasonable, or serene. You must belong to some heretical splinter cult of Rao," Anavren finishes with an evil, provoking smile.

OOP: If it looks like McCormick is about to respond negatively, or get off his donkey, Anavren, walking alongside the donkey, will slap the ass of the donkey (a pun!) as hard as he possibly can, then shout "Get!" angrily so as to cause the donkey to bolt. If the donkey bolts, Anavren will laugh almost hard enough to bust a gut.
Anavren is a tall high elf with typical black hair & green eyes. He stands 5' 5" tall & weighs about 135 lbs. Anavren is dressed in forest colors and leather armor. He is never without his composite shortbow and a sheaf of arrows!
