You pass her and find yourself walking a good distance before you even see another drigus. This one looks a bit preoccupied, for he's digging around in the sand, as if he'd lost something important to him.
When he sees you, he turns around full and greets you cheerfully. "I'm digging for sand worms," he explains.
"Erm, what exactly are those?" you ask, not sure if you want to know.
"They're a rather odd species of worm which only live in the Wood. If you find a settlement of them, you can dig a bit deeper and you'll be sure to find water. That's why I am looking for them, you see."
He clears his throat and says, "How rude of me! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Strairion, and I recently joined this herd." He nods. "I assume you're off on some wild adventures in the Mountains?"
"Ummm..." you begin, not entirely certain if you would classify your adventures as 'wild'.
"Of course you are!" he says happily. "Those mountains have lots to explore."
