Before you get to Cheadsolas, Ellic has a Sending sent to the Taffer leader near Cheadsolas, whose name is simply Em. She will meet you outside the town far enough as to not alert anyone.
Rom'Pei, Vor'Ruk, Saladien, Ellic, Mallory and Ash go near 8pm on the evening on the 22nd.
Using Rom'Pei's staff, they travel there and Mallory casts several spells to keep you hidden while Ash scouts the area and keeps watch.
Only one Taffer arrives, the leader Em. For those having never seen one before, she appears as a large squirrel, perhaps two feet long without tail. She is dark brown in color and is carrying a back pack. Her hands appear opposable, her eyes steadier and grey. Only an expert could spot that she is female.
As soon as she arrives, Mallory casts a few more spells, and then nods to proceed. Not one day removed from his Heal, the grovetender appears older than before, more worn and more serious. Ellic begins the questioning (however if anyone has any questions, he relays them).
Em speaks in squeaking common.
