Arai meets friendly Rieklings

About this image

Cautiously Arai crept up to Thirsk Mead Hall but he is spotted almost immediately as a lil puny goblin-like creature scampers over to him and utters out intelligible words "You. Follow" Stupefied by speech in such a creature, Arai follows, still protectively putting on Fire Barrier spell and cursing himself for being so loud. Clearly, Arai can't sneak if his life depended on it.

The lil Riekling scout leads him to the entrance of Thirsk Mead Hall were an entire armed-to-the-pointy-teeth warband is awaiting him. They're all chirping and squeaking in their odd but cute lil voices. The Rieklings welcome Arai with open arms, offering their boar meat and other strange delicacies. Out of respect, Arai tries some of their plant delicacies but stays away from the boar meat. They dance and make revelry around Arai as he is led inside to meet with their Chief.
