The party travels at almost their top speed through the muck and mud, and before long manage to catch up with the mysterious man. However, without a good endurance to spare the Eladrin was winded (and lost 1 healing surge). The three however managed to reach the man five minutes under the elledged time limit and the spell held. (mostly because he himself was having equal trouble traversing the sodden ground)  

[I Am Bernie]

Alright, so we've reached the man. What do we see? Is he carrying weapons?

The man looks the same as he did in the inn. covered in leather armor, long black hair he looks as though he is in his late twenties to early thirties. A pack is slung over his shoulder and her carries a long-sword at his waist.

Lars calls out "Hey! You there! Why did you run from us?"

Lars calls out "Hey! You there! Why did you run from us?"

The man looks over his shoulder at the call, just audible over the rain.

"Naa? Who the hell are you?" then it came to him "Ah you must be those misfits from the inn, the ones that asked about Col Fen. So why are you following me then, come to see it for yourselves?"

Despair notes that she has not idea going on, so she bluffs. (I have a +5)

"Yes, we came to see it."

(Yes 18!)

The man raises his eyebrow "So then, what do you all think you will be able to do about the problems there. Feh I'd be better off doing it myself." he said turning away.

At that point a small yellow frog bounced out of his pouch and landed in the mud splattering some on his red tunic. The man looked thoroughly annoyed.

It hopped to slightly more solid ground between the two groups and began to hop around on two feet waving its hands as though it were dancing, speaking in a garbled Elven tongue, obviously trying to communicate with everyone. And while the man could tell what it was saying almost instantaneously he didn't look happy about it.

(I don't know elven, one of you translate! I got Giantkin covered! xp )  

[I Am Bernie]

I know Elven!
Lars translates what the frog said to the group in a low voice...

Lars translates what the frog said to the group in a low voice...

"It's about time you showed up. I was beginning to think he would go alone again. He really should have company you know. Otherwise he's just a cranky old lone wolf. But of course he never listens to me, so I set off his ritual early hoping this time he would have some traveling companions to wipe that awful grimace off his face. Gerogerogerogerogero ^^"

"It seems like you could use some assistance with the problems at hand. I'd be willing to lend a hand, if you so wish. I have some skill in the arcane arts." Lars says to the man.

With an angry look at the yellow frog in the red mud splattered tunic he snorted and turned away. "Feh. Do as you wish. Just don't get in my way and don't slow me down." the man grumbled and continued on. He made a passive swipe at the frog who hopped just out of his reach and stuck out it's tongue.  

[I Am Bernie]

"Well, where are we headed then? And what do you know about Col Fen?" The Eladrin asked.

"Well, where are we headed then? And what do you know about Col Fen?" The Eladrin asked.

The man stopped. "It would seem you have answered your own question. And to be perfectly frank I know little more than you do. I assume you can take what you learned at the inn for what it is yourself. I was just bored and needed something to do."

He then grumbled under his breath "had that damned frog not intervfered it would have been easier."

The frog danced around angrily. Lars can easily translate the sentence as

"How dare you! You are well aware that I am not a frog! Surly Human."

The man turned around again and yelled at the frog.

"You are a frog and I am your master! Act like one at least!"

The frog shot back.

"I am not your servant. I am the unfortunate familiar you summoned. I have my own mind you know. And I have my own free will." the frog said tapping its foot irritated. With that he hopped high and landed on Lars sticking his tongue out at the man. "If you wish for my help you will need theirs as well."

The man was obviously not happy but shook it off with a snort and kept walking  

[Isis of Magic]

"Well, it seems as if you know where you are going, and it seems like some extra hands might be of aid, so you lead the way." Despair says to the man. " I still, have one question though, what is your name? I'd like to know the name of who I am working with."
