While I won't play an active part in the RP because I don't have a character adventuring with you all, I will throw in some randomness when I feel like it. And of course my npc's are there to help you with your adventures, but in the end you are free to make your own adventures in this RP. The Umbreon will return as a side-plot sooner or later. For now it's just an event your character may or may not have noticed.
