77.2

As you walk along the lip of the vast cliff that looks out over the Verdessa, the roaring of Tumbledown Falls echoing in your ears, you see an older fellow perched on an outcropping, watching the jungle below. You call to him, and he looks up from a loosely bound notebook.

“Greetings,” he nods slightly. “Cormak Wellers, at your service.”

You recognize the name; Elder Wellers is the head of Tumbledown and a naturalist of some renown within the Valley. You ask what he’s doing, and he shows the tight, neat writing in his book next to a diagram of what looks like a large tree.

“Just making observations,” he says. “You never know what you’ll see when you wait and watch.”

Clear Elder Wellers with  to ask him if he needs any help around Tumbledown.
