NOTES: Anyone who was involved originally gets first dibs.

It has not escaped my notice, despite all recent events, that I have been in Thedas for one year. [ he lets that sit for a moment. ] Thanks are in order; first to the Inquisition as a whole for their continued hospitality and second, to my own people, for their kindness. Ma serannas. I am pleased that there are elves in worlds other than Arda.

[ his tone switches as he gets into the meat of the announcement. ]

Several months ago, the Seeker and I came into possession of a key. With the events in Orlais as well as the move, we did not have a chance to use it until recently. I am seeking volunteers to travel west. The area, under Inquisition control, presents no dangers beyond local wildlife and the standard dangers of the desert, but I would advise that only those confident enough to handle themselves in combat come forward.

And, ah-- [ styled as an afterthought, but far too deliberate. ] I would like someone confident with written Elven.

And where do you find your stock?

[ this isn't suspicious. ]

[meds4sale]

Some came with me. Others I have bought, traded for, or gathered and mixed myself.

If the quality of my stock is of concern, you are welcome to peruse it for yourself.

[rowancrowned]

I was taught as a small elfling not to sample a healer's wares for amusement's sake, as exotic and exciting as I am sure your goods may be.

Are you a Rifter?

[meds4sale]

I did not think perusing entailed sampling, as I would not recommend taking medicine you do not need. Though you may try some of the incense if it is to your liking.

You are correct - I do not come from this world.

[rowancrowned]

Ah, that does interest me.

Are you confident that your medicines will work on the peoples of this world as they worked on those of your own?

[meds4sale]

Then I will set aside some for you to sample at your leisure.

Many herbs here are the same or similar to ones from my home. Many are not. That which I know has proven comparably effective. That which I do not...

...Well. One must always strive to remedy one's own ignorance.
