Strongbark responds with a serious voice; "You are a good man to
recognise the sickness of our kin. But I warn you that northern lands
are dangerous, inhabited almost exclusively by the darkmen. The only
place of light and goodness is Griffin Mountain, where many our allies
of the sun can be found."

"If north is the path you wish to take we can aid you; we have a sailing
vessel that will take you across the Sea and will make your journey much
quicker than wandering through our forest."
