[It took a moment to get out of the nurse's office when he first awoke there, but not because of any shock that might have come from waking up in a completely foreign place. No, he had stopped to offer the nurse in the room with him a drink. Once she made it clear she was not thirsty, Chen hefted the large keg of beer under his arm and sidestepped through the door into the hallway.]

I can't say I've seen this kind of architecture before... it seems almost human but on a smaller scale. Perhaps a joint venture of humans and gnomes? No... if anything the Gnomes build bigger, and almost always in a downward motion rather than up. Fascinating.

I wonder what stories these halls could tell...

[Well that was a sight you certainly didn't see everyday was it? He had caught Angel's eye, exploring the Campus had suddenly fallen off her list of priorities. She was more concerned now with stalking the big fluffy thing and most importantly- His cargo. It looked like he was carrying some kind of ye olde timey keg. She hadn't seen one that big before, and she was always keen to try new beverages.]

[Angel quietly stepped after him, ducking into a room to avoid being spotted.]

[Chen grinned to himself as he heard someone following him. Once she ducked into a room, it became clear she had the same kind of curiosity the cubs back on the Wandering Isle did. He stopped, setting the keg down before speaking.]

You can come out now. I won't bite, unless you're made of roast beef or something.

[Well that didn't last long she thought with a pout, casually stepping out of the room with her arms crossed.]

I thought you fella's were like, bamboo-tarians or somethin' anyway?

[strenth_in_size]

[Chen chuckles as he turns to face Angel.]

To the contrary! Bamboo, while delicious on its own is but a single element of the culinary arts! There are so many tastes to savor that it would be an injustice to ignore them.

The marketplace of Halfhill in the Valley of Four Winds is always bustling with artisans crafting the finest of foods, from stir-fry vegetables that warm the innermost cockles of the soul, to succulent pork roasts that melt in your mouth. If you would be so kind as to tell me where we are, I would be honored to take you when I return.

[Well this was a Panda after her own heart, Angel loved a good meal and even more so a free meal. She was grinning from ear to ear at the offer.]

I ain't actually too suuure, 'bout where we are exactly, but apparently we're stuck here until the big boss lets us out. Ain't no way out I've checked, there's some kinda barrier.

[Hopefully such little information would count, it was all she could find out in the short time she was here.]

[strenth_in_size]

[Chen makes a face and strokes his chin. Not the answer he'd been hoping for. Perhaps he stumbled through a portal? Ever since that washed-up mage showed up in Halfhill, people have been growing them fairly regularly...]

I see. Then it appears we must petition this 'big boss' directly. Perhaps if I entice him with my brew he would allow me to procure more...

[He blinks, as if remembering something and bows low.]

Where are my manners though. My name is Chen Stormstout. It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[praisingsun]

In truth, I wonder much the same thing! Mayhaps they would tell of the reasoning behind our manifestation here? If only we were so lucky. Ahahaha~

[It's amazing how unnoticeable a guy in armor can be when you're lost in thought, huh bear?]

[strenth_in_size]

[If Rogues can carry all kinds of vials of poison, daggers, and buckles on their armor and still move silently, he doesn't see why someone in full plate couldn't either. It's all in the hips apparently.]

I see. So you are being held hostage here as well? I wish we could have met under more pleasant circumstances in that case. Still, it is a pleasure to meet new people. I am Chen Stormstout. Might I inquire as to your name?

[praisingsun]

Well, I suppose I could be considered a hostage, though an unusually free one. It certainly could be worse! Ahahahaha~ But still, regardless of the circumstance, it is a pleasure, Chen Stormstout. I am Solaire of Astora, an adherent of the Lord of Sunlight and fellow comrade in bondage within this place.
