Missed an opportunity to plug for Babble for some extra cash.

And was startled at what he found. Classic.
Reminds me of a joke where the punch line is the guide knew the area like the back of his head. X-D

He might not speak Elvish, but he speaks Giant.

He was useful for once.
He's been doing pretty well for a good while now...
As improbably as it sounds I think its called character development.
He kinda has to be when he's on his own.

Friend in Elvish is "Mello"
Pedo Mellon a Minno.
