"I did, however, meet a very interesting gentleman by the name of Copernicus, who shared with me his fire", he continues, "...and, it would seem, a rather large quantity of his wine", he adds, probing his temple, "A fine chap. I dont suppose he has turned up has he?"

"But I am afraid we became the victims of some tomfoolery during the night, which left me in a pit and my new comrade absent."

He eyes the mountain climbing effort, "I see you have kept yourselves busy", he observes with a raised brow, "though at least you managed to remain clean" he adds, looking down at his soiled clothing with a frown, "Say, I dont suppose you have a handkerchief do you?"

"No, and I don't think your new friend was a friend, either." Olaf says, "Probably, some sort of magic using villain that put a spell on you, robbed and abandoned you. You're lucky he didn't slit your throat or turn you into a pig...you sure do smell like he started to do that very thing!"
