Ntaj didn't expect Nor to sit in on the conversation but the dwarf wasn't a problem, so it didn't really concern the berserker. He listened to the three talk and stayed quiet, mostly because he was trying to piece together what they were saying in his head. As per usual Thomas said a lot of things that didn't really make sense for many reasons, so Ntaj addressed that first. [color=a2d39c]{Speak elven Thomas, my grasp of the common tongue is not as strong as you believe.}[/color] Best Ntaj could discern with Thomas is that his magic had something to do with sky. Weather magic perhaps? Ntaj didn't know, hopefully the boy wizard would explain himself better. 

Maggie Arhakaine, as he introduced himself, did get a whiff of Ntaj's interest when he mentioned Neverwinter. [color=a2d39c]"Neverwinter? Neverwinter City? Friend in Neverwinter. Good friend, good place."[/color] Aside from that Maggie was a simple swordsman. Suited Ntaj just fine; after Calanon left to somewhere unknown they could use an extra sword in his place. That aside, Ntaj also vaguely remembered Maggie saying something about the dead being dug up. Not simply the undead digging themselves out, but someone robbing graves for their corpses. Seemed odd to Ntaj, though then again he's never dabbled in necromancy before. Generally he just thought necromancers got most of their corpses from killing people and then raising them. [color=a2d39c]"Maggie, you say dead dug out? No dead dig self out? Necromancer must rob grave. Any tracks?"[/color]

That's when Thomas mentioned something about a Crimson Death. Seemed like an odd two words to put together unless it was a name, and Ntaj knew that crimson was a variant of the color red. So Thomas must know something about that red mist thing they had fought at the orc camp. It was some sort of ghost so mundane weapons couldn't touch it, but it could fly and had some way of hurting people physically. Ntaj wondered if perhaps this Crimson Death could dig up corpses, or at least ferry them away. [color=a2d39c]"Thomas, what is Crimson Death?"[/color]

And lastly there was Nor. Ntaj wasn't sure what Nor wanted; Ntaj wasn't really in the mood for soap right now. Unless Nor was also a mercenary as well as a merchant. Ntaj had met only a few dwarves in his life, but each one had some skills with axes and hammers to protect themselves and properties. He'd imagine that Nor was much the same, and if not, he was at least a merchant who might have goods and maybe even horses they could use. A funny idea struck Ntaj's mind: since Cremwise revealed to be a war profiteer, perhaps Nor was too. If nothing else if Nor joined the party he'd be replacing Cremwise's former position, wherever that dodgy old man is at now. [color=a2d39c]"Nor. Merchant, yeah? Could make money if you help."[/color]
