When she turned around, she saw a man in tattered leathers sitting on a stump. It was a mystery how he appeared without their notice. The milky eyed man smiled wryly.
Karack - "Simply that one must appear before being painted the full picture."
Startled at first, Shalin's facial expression turned to one of confusion. "You speak in riddles. Maybe I'd understand if you spoke in words easier to understand."

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Karack - "Understanding is grown, not given. The beast you seek makes its home in the southern forest. You will know it by its call and by the smell of poison, singing in your nostrils."
Shalin was relieved to hear a straight answer. "Thank you for the help." She was taken a little aback at the mention of toxic fumes--what would such a majestic creature be doing around a poisonous wood like that? "Are you going to give us a hand with it?" she naively asked.

Nervada - "Aahahaha, that's what I like to see! Never been disappointed by a mysterious vanishing man before! Not that I've ever met one before... BUT! Every tale I've heard that starts like this has all kinds of crazy stuff happen! I wonder if we'll have to...
**Nervada continues to cheerfully list possibility after possibility, his unnatural voice filling the air as as he slowly approaches the dog. He gives it a friendly wave.**
Shalin turned back to face Nervada, then slowly walked alongside him and waved at the dog, as well. "What? I just want to have my fun with it before completing the task at hand."

Upon getting a closer look at the hound they could tell why it seemed strange at first. The dog's skin seemed to be made of a soil like substance. With every movement dirt scattered from it, and it constantly pulled bits of earth up from its feet. The dog looked at them with baleful green eyes, then nudged the leash that was knotted around the stump.
**So the dog is angry, wants in on the team, and has earth powers...**
Nervada, to dog - "Heh, do you know a wolf named Damek? Cousin, maybe?"
**The warrior starts moving towards the leash, although he takes a rather roundabout path in case his partner wants to dart ahead. One should support new reckless adventurers!**
Shalin moved toward the leash and observed the strange dog, seeing how friendly or hostile it currently was to them. It was certainly something unusual, though she had seen her fair share of unusual wildlife before.
ooc: Is it just a normal-sized animal?

"Oh, did someone trap you here?" Shalin innocently asked. "Let me fix that!" She undid the leash tying it to the tree, holding it in her hand to be sure it wouldn't simply run away from them.

When they got closer they could see that Karack was flipping a large drake scale over in his hands. The man's unseeing eyes gazed forward but the group knew that he could see them.
Karack - "It seems you've tamed the lightning adventurers. The earth has sent you a gift."
Laghairt caught the scale and motioned for Gigan to return. The monitor scrambled his way back up to Laghairt's shoulder.
Laghairt - Thank you. Since you seem to already know that we've done as required, I'd like my portion of the gold. I've got an important purchase to make before I meet with a friend in need of my aid.

Karack - "As soon as you wish child, let the earth guide you along your path."
He gestured to the right where a strange looking dog was tied up to a tree. When they looked again, the man was gone.
