As the man approached the group, Adrian visibly shook. The savage looking man, had a fairly intimidating voice, and as he got closer, Adrian could see some spots of blood on the man. Adrian had never seen the man before in his life, and was surprised when the man recognized the group. Once the man was close, Adrian could see what he thought was the outline of a short sword, under the man's cloak. After a moment, Adrian righted himself. "I'd like to know the identity of the man we are going to assistance, before giving up precious resources!" Adrian said, with a fleck of authority in his voice. Adrian was attempting to lead negotiations with the man by taking on the persona of the group leader. Adrian stepped out from the tree, and placed a hand in between John and Soah, indicating to John to hang out a moment, before acting. "I am Adrian Brady, leader of this intrepid group of adventurers. This is John Wenigsten," Adrian started, guiding his hand to introduce the group. "And our other partner, Crom!" Adrian finished, guiding his hand once more. Adrian then placed his hand at his side, and awaited introductions from the newcomer.
