Derakis smiles at the group. "It seems you are not easily fooled. I understand your doubt of my story and you all know i have left something out. Indeed I have. Like Airerūthiel, I have wandered the countryside hunting and defending people from orcs. I have done this in the hopes that I can prevent tragedies like those that happend to Airerūthiel and I from happening to anyone else. A few days ago I ambushed a small group of three or four orcs making camp near the river Baranduin. When I attacked to my suprise and shame, I found these orcs were part of a MUCH larger hunting party of 30-40. I killed a few of them, and then ran. They have been on my trail for the last few days, but I belive I have put them behind me." He shook his head "I hope."
