[Volgathras]

You tell Grimulfr 'Greetings Earthssinger, ssome dryadss let me in ranger land but Elomir still not teach Iodus to be ranger.'

You tell Grimulfr 'I tell him Iodusss iss sstrong ranger, he will listen till have hurt in head.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Yes'

Grimulfr tells you 'Will tell others of you'

You say 'Iodusss challenge you to contest.'

You tell Grimulfr 'Good thisss ranger not even listen to when ah challenge him to a shooting contest, Iodusss great hunter, once ssshot a Kaddar Faerie in the wing at a hundred paces for biting my tail.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Kaddar ... runs small'

You tell Grimulfr 'Thats what ah keep tellin thisss Elomir, but he still no teach Iodusss.'

You sigh.

Grimulfr tells you 'He will ... if his masters tell him so, it up to them'

You tell Grimulfr 'Strong Auroch told that sacred oak place might have good teacher in they grove, ah told him he not as strong asss ranger Iodus, him laugh.'

You tell Grimulfr 'Indeed, Iodusss show them all. Prove isss good in weed, dirt, and grass.'

You tell Grimulfr 'Already know how to hide in shrubsss and sticksss.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Ranger need know that'.

You tell Grimulfr 'And Iodusss good ranger, not waste what hunt, eat everything body, bone, all.'

Grimulfr tells you 'I can see'

You tell Grimulfr 'Iodusss leave big Earthsinger lone now readin thisss book learn how to surprise attack.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Read good ... I speak to others'

You tell Grimulfr 'Good good Earthsinger good god, someday teach Iodusss some old waysss.'

Grimulfr tells you 'May ...'

Iodus covers himself in twigs and grass.

Jumping out in a quick unlearned start Iodus trips on a stick and falls face first into the imp causing it to run away.

Iodus pushes himself off the ground.

You sigh.

You tell Grimulfr 'Bah Iodusss tripped on a stick for first surprise attack, sscared off nasty imp. More practice.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Practice ... practice'

You rub your hands together in greedy anticipation.

Iodus covers himself in twigs and grass.

Quickly jumping out of the homemade shrub Iodus grabs a forest goblin by the leg and is dragged five feet before letting go.

You tell Auroch 'You know anything about sssurprise attack?'

Iodus pulls several shrubs and sticks around himself covering himself compleatly.

Tripping over the pile of foilage Iodus lands face first into a bee hive and is quickly stung on his face and shoulders.

ARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!

Iodus swats the remaining bees from his clothes and knocks a few from the air.

You say 'That sssmart, cant do that again.'

You tell Grimulfr 'Earthssinger know good sstuff for bee sstingss, landed on hive and now very itchy and in pain.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Chewed up nettle leaf'

You tell Grimulfr 'Hmmm where to find nettle leaf, I know good ranger would know but not learn that yet.'

Grimulfr tells you 'Common plant ... all over the ground, not a special type'

Grimulfr tells you 'Must rest now ... keep training'

You tell Grimulfr 'Oh that good, not hard to get like others, be well Earthsinger.'
