I am having real problems wrapping my head around how to interject Valen into the RP. SEND HELP

Maybe you could have Valen arriving in Bthamz somehow? Perhaps he was on a boat that was travelling near the isle where the ruins are and, for one reason or another, he had to jump from the ship? Or you could also have him be nearby the group thats fighting the striggans and the sound of battle drew him to the site of the conflict? Sorry, know that they are rather simple ideas but I hope they help somehow
