Morek was probably the largest Dwarf any of them had seen, standing near 5 feet in height and clad in sheer platemail. He nodded to the Gnome in a knowing fashion, Dwarves having great respect for their diminutive cousins. He allowed the others passage as well, making sure to stand vigil, but out of their way as they walked in (all the while idly chewing on some prime beef jerky). 

Kayden the mercenary reclined in his wooden chair, a dashing young man 5 or 6 summers short of 30. He looked to have just shaved this morning, apparently having care enough to look somewhat presentable for a meeting, yet at the same time looking rough enough to survive in the wilds with his callused hands and the few scars visible to those who cared to look upon his chin and collar bone. His dark blue and purple colors over his armor matched the dark features of his unruly and uncut hair, along with his sharp eyes. 

"I am he." Kayden said to the Gnome's question. "Pleased to meet you." He was quite endeared to the Gnome already, just as he was to Dwarves. They always had odd customs and ways about them that were amusing. The Prince took a sip of his ale, and placed it down as soon as the attractive woman waded into the room. Any other time he'd be intrigued, but he was nothing if not professional. He noticed that she moved like she was used to the sword. "I only know rumors of all of you, honestly. But there's only one way to find out if rumors are true." he replied, then gave her a smile and nod. "If you wish, anyone can make introductions and we can fill in the rest as we move, if we are all in agreement to what I have planned. You will find out soon enough." 

As he spoke to Cassilda, Fafnir and Leonard entered the tower base as well. He raised his pint to them in greeting as he finished speaking. "Well met friends. Have a seat and enjo-" He stopped a moment as he heard mumbling above. 

That was unexpected. He gazed upwards and got some dust on his face for the effort. "I...am not sure if we're in danger," he deadpanned. Morek looked up curiously, hefting his Axe to face a new danger, only for everyone to get a surprise as a crazed looking Dwarf wielding flaming gauntlets announced his arrival in an odd yet expectantly gruff fashion. “[b]Redemption is near. For GURNSON IS HERE![/b]”  

Kayden almost laughed aloud, but stopped himself and glanced to Morek. Morek shrugged, and Kayden did laugh then. Kayden gave the new Dwarf a thumbs up. "Well met friend."
