''Shall I proceed with the introductions, or do you wish to do so first?''
[Green] <span class="mu-i"> ''I already know who you are, and I know of your family as well. I have watched from over the hill and under the trees. I have seen you pass through here many a time, though you never went as deep into the great woodland realm as you did now. I have many names; though once upon a time the elves named me Aran-Arasso, now men call me the White Stag. This forest is my charge and domain and long has been my watch.'' </span> [/green]
Part of you felt the deers dark eyes gaze at you intently, awaiting a response.
You decided to ask, <span class="mu-i"> ''But you're not really a stag, are you, O great spirit?'' </span>
<span class="mu-g"> <span class="mu-i"> ''Nay, I am not, but as the lord of these woods, the stag was the form in which I came into being, though later, when first I saw the likes of you, the furless bipeds who on occasion traverse here, I knew I would need a disguise if ever I had to deal with your kind; behold!'' </span> </span>
And before your eyes the stag dissolved into light before reforming as an old man, with a snow-white beard, an ivory crown, and two deer eyes where there should be human ones. He indeed looked like a great wizard, or perhaps druid was more accurate.
<span class="mu-g"> ''To the woodsmen I am known as the white wizard of the woods. A mistaken assumption I have no intent to correct; I help the lost back on their way and keep men from fae, as you keep fae from men. </span>
<span class="mu-i"> ''What do you mean?'' </span> You asked.
<span class="mu-g"> <span class="mu-i"> ''Those green-and-brown-clad men who on occasion patrol on the edge of my mandate, they don't want anything to get out, and I do not want them to get in.'' </span> </span>
So he has been making certain the rangers do not go in too deep by misleading them about it. You weren't certain whether you should be pleased or displeased.
>And why have you brought me here?
>If this is your mandate, why is it so dangerous?
>And what do you do, to mislead them?
>Write-in.
