>Adler: "It depends on what they're saying."
>Trees: Inform Adler that the reason those rabbits slipped through was because Vernier loudly stated a special code phrase that forces them to stand down and not act in any capacity until ordered to. A special code phrase that only elves should know.
>Adler: . . . Very carefully ask Vernier if she said anything before entering the woods and who told her about it.
>Vernier: Oh! Well, before you went to the hair salon there was this friendly old man who used to own a tavern who spoke to you. You were apprehensive at first, then he told you he was an honorary uncle in the Martin family, a very well know and influential family. He referred you to the hair salon that sent you here and he told you the phrase that would guarantee your safe passage through the wood. It was odd that he referred to himself as an old man, he didn't look that old. "Old by your standards." Whatever that means. He also told you that before you left the woods to tell "Lord Ramble" that he is very interested in meeting him.
>Adler: *HRRK* Why is it that every time something starts to go your way it immediately goes off the rails? Fuma's blessing of good luck seems to come with a curse of equally bad luck.
