The gnome looks up from his book. Blim looked like your average gnome: Splendid mustache (albeit a bit rough on the edges), a curly beard and some huge eyebrows. And due his age, all in white of course.

He slowly takes off his glasses and let's out a soft cough before starting. "Welcome all. I trust today's journey wasn't too troublesome." Blim closes the book and puts it on a chest to the left of him. He sits back in his chair and puts his fingertips together, looking up at the group of six. "To answer your question quickly, [color=Lime]Sonya[/color], the book is called 'The Seven Keystones'. But let's not digress. You have all seen the city we passed today. According to the intel our scouts gave us, and according to these, " the gnome gestures to a pile of notes ", we think it's the city of Nurenhaven. Apparently, this area used to be a huge lake. Nurenhaven was known for it's fisheries and sawmills. I believe this very chair was made from the wood they cut here." The gnome rubs the the tip of one of the arms tenderly. "And as you can see, after 141 years, the chair is still standing. Very strong pine indeed. While of course, the tribe has no use for comfy chairs or tables, I am more interested in the storage houses that contained the fish. With luck, they deep-freezed some of it. We could use that to feed the tribe for a while."

The gnome get's up from his chair and walks towards the group. While not being that impressive in terms of height, he always appeared very confident. He continues to walk around, making random gestures whilst talking. "Of course, anything else of value you find will be appreciated. But don't be greedy. We do not want to provoke other tribes by scavenging everything empty. We do not have the manpower to risk getting raided. We'll have to take the underdog role for a while. Anyway, usually we split you up in two groups, but Nurenhaven is... was a big city, and thus we'll be sending you as one large group." He walks towards [color=f08080]Vlor[/color] and looks up to him. "You'll be in charge of this mission, [color=f08080]Ral'gene[/color]. Do not disappoint me, of course [color=red]Samual[/color] and [color=Cyan]Naia[/color] did a splendid job last time, but I like to change things up. Give someone else a change to prove himself. If someone disagrees with my choice, speak up now, or rather when I'm finished with talking." He walks back to his chair and climbs onto it. "One last thing. You have a potential new recruit. I have reviewed his skills and he seems useful as a Dweller. He goes by the name of [color=2F4F4F]Mathew Anders[/color] and he's an Insect-man. Take him along with you and make him proof his usefulness. I'll let you guys be the judge of his abilities."

The gnome picks his book back up, flips to the page he left on and starts to read whilst saying the last thing. "We stay here for two weeks, so get it done in that time. If you need some extra equipment, visit Quartermaster Judas. He's in his usual place. Now, begone. I have reading to do." And he waves the group away.
