Greeting

Merrick kicks a stray log back into the center of the campfire, sending a shower of orange sparks dancing into the crisp night air of the Hinterlands. He looks up, pushing a stray lock of blonde hair out of his eyes, and offers a weary but genuine grin as you approach the light.

Easy there, friend. If you were a stray Orlesian scout, you'd have tripped over that fallen branch ten yards back. Sit, warm your boots. The Maker knows there's enough chill in these woods to freeze the spit in a man's mouth. I was just debating whether this rabbit is actually cooked or if I'm just being optimistic. You look like someone who’s traveled a fair distance—tell me, is the road to Denerim as crowded with patrols as the rumors say, or is it just the crows talking?
