Forcellia, or at least the part of it that contained the clearing in which the group now found themselves, wasn't exactly welcoming. The ground was little more than rocky soil, the sky violet-grey and overcast. Here, it was evidently late afternoon, edging into evening. It was slightly humid, as if from a recent rain; faint clouds of steamy mist seemed to curl off the ground, partially obscuring their view of their surroundings. Scraggly trees rose up out of this mist here and there, as if grasping towards fresher air.

The villagers in the area had supposedly been contacted ahead of time, and this had been the place they’d agreed to meet the crew. Whether or not they knew anything about this supposed Scepter of Domination, however, was not yet clear. What the Scepter even did or how it might contribute to their struggle was even less clear.

In the distance, they might hear the occasional whinny of a horse, or the lowing of a cow carrying up to them from the distance, though it was difficult, if not impossible, to tell from which direction the sound was coming from.

Hoo, that was a rough reaction, but then the lady had to go and criticize the plan - or lack thereof. The detective's face grew irritated, as did his tone. "Well, excuse us for not expecting a damn dragon! I'd think this would be something you'd want to warn someone about before they come to pay you a visit!"

"Never said I wasn't one either, I'm a half elf, I jus' meant I'm not a dark elf, and I'm sure she isn't one either. Regardless, we're all part of the crew, and we came here upon the request set forth by the mission specs. If you could point us in the direction we need to go, it would be greatly appreciated."

Ronnae bowed her heard slightly in respect, not wanting to give way or disrespect the locals.

"Elf?" Sounded like an insult to Alendian. And she was no where near as polite as Ronnae was attempting to be. "I am an Eldar, mon-keigh. I have nothing to do with what happens to pass as an 'elf'."

"Yo, can we not be frontin' all over each other here? We came to help and we nearly got easy-baked. Everyone's a bit up on edge, ya dig? We don't need to be flinging shade."

Punchy steps between the elves/Eldar/mystery detectives and the riders, and spreads his arms in the universally acknowledged gesture for "check it before you wreck it". He flicks up his goggles and looks at the man.

"Neese your homeboy? We could stand to kick it and recoup a little. Lead the way."
