Intrigued by the man's story and request, Tanner can't help but get excited at the tought of confronting one of the fabled Yuan-Ti. After all, weren't they powerful magical creatures from wh-knows-where, possessing great magical powers -- and possibly great magical items as well. And with Glennifar back and on their side, as well as this man's "bodyguard", perhaps the party even stood a chance! And if they returned, what a great story it would be. Returning to the Gnolls' Lair to confront the fearsome Yuan-ti and save the boys from a fate worse than death.

"It seems a worthwhile enough mission, but tell us more about this ritual that you think the Yuan-Ti might perform. How did you find out about it? Did you overhear them talking about it, or did they tell you about it directly? Do you have any other details about it that Caellen or I might be able to use to get a better idea of what it might be?" Tanner will try to use his Bardic Knowledge in the hopes that some story or legend of the Yuan-Ti and their Ritual of Fire will come to mind.
A tall, gangly human youth looks at you, his questioning green eyes filled with the energy and enthusiasm of youth. Clad in a fine chain shirt with a buckler emblazoned with crossed lute and sword, he wears an Elven rapier at his side and a rustic lute over his shoulder.
