Listen to what Andanil Sunsworn has to say about the expedition.
Apologies for the sorry state of our camp. These lands are strange, and their inhabitants even stranger. And… we have suffered a major setback. <Andanil shifts, tension plain in every movement.> Let me explain what happened.
Yes?
Our people have endured exile, betrayal, and slow decay, and still we stand. We will endure this as well. I believe that. I have to. That said, belief alone will not carry us through what waits in that den. Pride has already cost us enough. I will admit this, if only once. I could use a steady hand at my side in this matter.
