Pel sees Silvara in the group and turns into a power dive straight at the group leaping off the back of his mount straight at Silvara screaming her name - and smacks straight into the flat of Raggnors axe. Pel, hanging from the blade of the axe - just a bit dazed - "Silvara, what are you doing here? Are you the friends of Astendar that we were supposed to meet?" "Yes." "But... aren't we supposed to meet in Haven?" "Yes" "But that's in the other direction. Are we late?" "Not yet." Raggnor asks who is hiding in the bushes. "Oh, that's my friend, Corlon. He's ok, he's a bit - uh, how shall I put this? cautious..." "Corlon. Stand and be recognized." Corlon came out of the bushes cautiously. Discussion ensues on the best way to enter the BloodWood.
