The Dwarf paused a moment, before he quickly looked at the Elf as he was being intimidated by the Gnoll. The Dwarf let out a chuckle, because it did amuse him to see Elves get terrified of things. "Aye, that was a good growl. Not nearly as good as me Granmum's." He stopped as he listened to what the Elf said. "Dark Elf... good stuff. Well, Gnolls tend to be hunted, but... why would someone offer to cover your tracks?" The human female glanced to him, "To avoid the wrath of a Gnoll tribe?" The Dwarf stroked his beard, "It is a possibility. But why did the Elf hide his identity? And what did he offer to them to get them to attack the Gnolls?" 

He snapped his right fingers, "Search the Elf for whatever [i]interesting[/i] he received." The human male on his side gave a nod and approached the Elf, and began searching him. 

"Well let us see what this Elf has." The Dwarf commented, as the human quickly approached the Dwarf, and handed him the first item that was scavenged, a small coin-purse, with a partial tear on a symbol that was on it. "Sir he has two coin-purses on him, this one is the more ornate of the two." The man said, as he handed it over to the Dwarf as it jingled a bit.

 The Dwarf stared at it for a long time with his good eye, examining it. "...Well, I'll be." He began stroking his beard.
