"Hold on, hold on. Before as start getting on the mission, I think we should all just take a break and introduce ourselves." He made a quick decision and stalled giving out the information about the quest that they were to be going on. He wanted to see just how much suspense he could build up, and he wondered if it would actually work. He was glad to hear that the Gnomling in front of him was an alchemist, but the way that she had said that she was going for 'other opportunities' had just seemed out and out of place. He wanted to press on it further but saw that it would be useless in the end and he would simply find out later on.

He looked to the barmaid and simply waved her away, not needed a drink or anything as of yet. "Well, I guess I should start this off. I'm Atrus Talan, and I'm a Human Mage. I'd prefer to just leave it at human, so don't ask any further on that. I grew up in a town filled to the brim of mages, some of you may or may not have heard about the town of Sayrill. I came to GreenSpring a few years ago to make a nice living in a place where Mages were few, and I hope to use this quest to make sure that I'll have my name in a book somewhere."
