"Thank you. I guess we should help our friend get that door open. You think if I touch it I will go head first down another flight of steps?" Vael snickers to himself as he turns to help Peerless.

Before you stands an elf. Tall for his species, but just as lithe as normal. His blond hair is cut short and shaggy. His golden eyes swim with silver flecks and are set above a hawklike nose.
