Inside is a rather humble one-room cottage... it strikes you as rather astonishing that, from the outside, this was one of the largest buildings in the villiage. You can only imagine what it must be like living in the others. In one corner is a bed, of sorts... little more than several furs stacked up on a frail wooden frame and a woven blanket or two. In the center of the room is a wooden table with six chairs. Off to another side is a small cooking area and a fireplace.
The old man takes a seat, inviting the rest to do so as well. "I'm sorry I don't have much to offer in the way of hopitality... ran out of tea sometime last year."

*Decides the chairs look too fragile to hold him up, so he stands at ease behind one instead.*
"Lemme guess-those orcs?"

"Thanks, but no thanks, I can stand for now"

*Takes a seat*
"So what is the scoop, we are all very confused on what is going on I believe."
*Looking back at everyone to see if they have any problem with me saying that.*

Mercy doesn't say anything, and, like most of her team, doesn't do much more then find a wall to lean on.

"So yea... I could use some hints"
*turns and gives all of her attention to the elder*

The elder nods at Matty. "'Those orcs,' indeed." He lets out a sigh. "They have taken everything... left us with just enough to keep producing more for them to take. We've been helpless but to obey them until now."

"So you have fore-seen us defeating the orcs and freeing you from opression and tyrany, so your town may live on peace."
"Hmm. How many Orcs are there anyway?"

"I am not worried about the Orcs... Less there number be really great. I am more worried about the fire breathing pet."

"I forsaw you battling the orcs... and a huge celebration afterwards. I did not see many of the details between, but the only possibility is that you defeated them."
"The orcs number in the thousands... though they are spread out. Only a few hundred stay close enough to pose a threat. And yes, the dragon could wipe them all out, if not for their shamen, bending it to their will. If the shamen could be slain, it might help the situation considerably."

"And where do we find this shamen?"

"Well, this sure sounds like a suicide mission. But I guess we might as well accept, what with us being trapped here anyway."

"Ahh, a very good point Mercy."
"After we help you out is there a way you could send us back to where and when we came from?"

"He will come soon," explained the elder. "They come every ten days to take what we have. Their next arrival should be... the day after tomorrow. Usually only a small group comes... their leader, his shamen, and about a dozen others. The dragon and the rest of the force waits back in their caves."
