"That I think I can manage to do." Urias claims, "I would ask for some tea though, because I have sworn off all things fermented."

The druid nodded.
"We brew several teas here in the tribe. We have blackberry, nettle or camomile, whichever you prefer."

Urias thinks for a moment, "I think I will go for the blackberry, if that is not a problem."

"Of course. We will need to wait for the water to boil."
He busied himself boiling water and fetching two cups as well as the berry infusion.

Some time later, after they had drunk the blackberry tea, Lupus led Urias out to a space in the middle of the settlemen. He had sent word to a number of the tribe to gather and they waited for them under the shelter of a silver birch.

Urias followed the Clan Elder after complementing and finishing the tea. He stands behind the Elder waiting for him to address his followers.

The druids looked at their leader with various expressions of curiosity as he began to speak.
"This man Urias comes to us from the land of Gore, seeking our aid. He has heard tell of a wicked sorceress who seeks to rule the land of men, with the aid of her companions, by summoning an army of the undead. We cannot allow this to happen. Though not of this land, Urias follows the druid's path. I have promised him our aid. He tells me that the sorceress is in this land and means to seek her out and stop her wickedness."
The old man paused, looking around his tribe.
"Is there anything else that needs to be said, Urias, before I invite my people to speak?"

"No wise Elder, you said all that needed to be said. The next step is for me to answer questions that your villagers may have for me." Urias says looking from the Elder to the other druids surrounded around.

The dark haired young druid Urias had met at the gate stepped confidently foward.
"How do you intend us to help you?"

"By passing on any knowledge you have of there whereabouts, I have no wish for any of you young fighters to accompany me and put yourself in danger." Urias says looking down at the man.

"We are not warriors, for the most part," Robin said. "We are a peaceful people. I met some strangers earlier today. Perhaps it is them that you seek. The woman attempted to bespell me."

Urias looked at the man, "Could you take me to the place that you met this woman? If she did indeed try to put you in a spell then I am sure that she must be the one I am looking for."

"Yes, I could do that. It was in the woods outside the settlement. "She was picking mushrooms for some potion. She did not tell me why."
Another man, almost as old as Lupus said "A woman was here earlier, with two men. One of the men was the oldest man I have ever seen."

"That must definitely be them." Urias says looking from the first man to the second. He turned to face the first one again, "How soon would you be able to take me?"

"Now if you are ready. It is less than two hours walk from here," Robin explained.

"Of course." Urias says turning towards the Village Elder, "Thank you Wise Elder and to your villagers for having me." He said waiting for the Druids reaction before joining the young man.
