"I'll draw up the permission. You can take as many as you need for extended foraging at the mountain." Anyone who was going to make a run for it has already made a run for it.

"Watch for dragons, too. A couple of years ago, I heard rumors a few had settled at the peak. They may not all have been wiped out. There could even be Darkspawn." There were also rumors of more ancient evils. He hopes they all have the sense to stay out of the deep ruins there. They won't find much to help them in the bowels of the earth, nothing but trouble.
