[Rhizome]

You see a monkey with an orange tipped tail and wide white drooping moustache bounding from branch to branch in a tree nearby. When you meet glances, the monkey gestures for Triba to move closer. When you get close enough, the monkey skips across a few branches and twirls to land on your shoulder. It squeaks and pants softly in your ear.
"It's nice to be able to talk to you, Ranger," andÂhe shows only part ofÂhis canines in a monkey's play face. "Rhizome sent me to speak with you. To tell you the truth, I jumped at the opportunity," and he jumps slightly from your shoulder and squeaks in amusement at his pun. "DruidsÂare so stuffy. Anyway, Rhizome wants to help with your mission. He's spent much time looking for a way to uncurse that twisted tangle of trees. He may be as dim as a gorilla, but he's gotta know something by now and would jump at the opportunity to help."Â
Then he squeaks unintelligibly and gives Triba a peck on the cheek. His long whiskers tickle her chin and neck as he springs back into the trees and leaps off out of sight.
