Two elves come into the bar, one has a red falcon on his shoulder with a bandage around one wing. The man with the bird follows behind the one dressed in more fancy armor and they take a seat.
"How is Malloval healing?" Elohir asks.
"He's getting better," Calenthon says. "The arrows didn't do as much damabe as I thought they had."
"That is certainly good news. We have lost too many friends as of late."
"I need to thank you for sending the elf to see me. If he hadn't helped I may not have been able to save Malloval."
The falcon makes a quiet noise and ruffles its feathers.
"I am glad he was able to make himself useful," Elohir says. "I was more worried about what was happening with the animals of the forest."
"What's the problem with the animals?"
"The bears are being driven to madness and I have been worried about our scouts."
"The animals have seemed more violent lately," Calenthon says. "I've been so focused on the corcur and what they've been doing in Nan Tornaeth."
"Yes I suspect the bear wight that was driving the other bear was connected to them in some way."
"They seemed to be working for a gaunt-man that recently came to the ruins named Gurdring."
"The presence of a gaunt-man is not great news," Elohir says. "They always carry death with them."
"This one seemed to have been summoning a great many undead. However I believe he is just a symptom of a greater problem."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know what it is but there is a sealed door in the ruins," Calenthon says. "I know where it leads but I can't open it. I wonder what has made a home in the old temple."
"My father spoke of a dark relic reported to him at a sealed door beneath the ruins. I wonder if they are connected."
"I don't know. All I do know is that whatever is there is much too powerful for me to battle. It will take a group of powerful allies to remove whatever evil has turned the temple into their home."
"I am sure we will be able to find a group that wishes to help us if we set a reward for them," Elohir says. "As the dark lord's power rises we find more people looking for adventure. We should focus on what we know and deal with the corcur and the gaunt-lord."
"I have already taken care of the gaunt-lord and had the traveler take out a group of the wights with it."
"That is good news. I am concerned that such a creature could pass so close to Imladris without being detected."
"As am I," Calenthon says. "I will keep my watch on the ruins to ensure no more threats appear without our knowing."
"We owe you and Malloval thanks for standing sentinal for us."
