Jarrod grinned widely at the sudden newcomer to the group. "Greetings Ananeas! Name's Jarrod Smith! Hehe, guess I'm the leader of this little gang now, huh?" Like Angelo, he motioned for the dark cloaked man to take a seat. "Welcome to our fan club!" He pointed to each and everyone one at the table, giving them introductions. "That's Corvain, the strong and resilient knight! Here's Angelo, the smooth-talking poison archer, though mind you, he's not as good with the ladies as you think. And the brooding red head over there? That's Scarlet. She cuts and shocks stuff. Since you already know my name, I can assume you already know what I do."

Well this was new. Four new companions out to slay the great creature. But still, it wasn't enough. "No," he told Scarlet, turning his gaze on her now. "If you want my honest opinion, the five of us alone are no match in taking down Yggdrasil." He raised an eyebrow in thought. "So if any of you thought you could take it down alone, I assure you, you would wind up with a terrible demise."

At Angelo's words concerning his village, the swordsman simply shrugged. "Not much I could do. Yggdrasil is something else entirely." Jarrod leaned in now, as if wanting to tell them each something important. "Listen to me now," he said, his voice unnaturally serious for once.

"Those who say Yggdrasil is a herald of The Dyteniteity aren't far off. The thing has the power of a god." He waved his arms in the air to further emphasize his point. "Its size is massive, larger the very oceans of Aldmorn. It carries with it a wide assortment of advanced magic and technology, some many say that aren't even from this world. Hell, the fact that it's taken the form of a dragon proves that this thing is beyond dour proportion."

"And then there's its voice. There have been some reports that Yggdrasil is in fact sentient, instead of some rampaging beast. They say it carries with it the voices of the dead and it is these voices which serve as a connection to the godhead itself. The Dyteniteity."

At that, Jarrod smirked and leaned back to return to his upbeat composure. "Of course, those are just rumors. Rumors that happen to be true to some degree. At least, when I met it. Anyway, I'm just gonna assume that my tale hasn't really deterred any of you and you're still gonna hunt it down. Am I right?"
