Hunter wonders what's the sudden interest in this stranger and instead answers it with a question, "What's it to you?"
Out of Character: Dungeon Master, anti-venom / healing potions, any available (Cost)?
The stranger would bow his head, before replying with a somewhat sheepish smile because of the suspicion the elf's question seemed to suggest, "My name is Gabriel, I am a simply one passing by who heard of the attacks by bandits and wish to help put a stop to such. From the talk around he keep, you and your companions seem to be the only ones making a difference."
The young man seemed ready and able, his demeanor and tone confirming his honest intent. Those bronze eyes steady and clear as he looked straight into those of the elf, before he smiles and add as he turns to the others, "Please, let me aid you and help makes live even a little safer for those here."

"Interesting… well I hope you can hold your own and don't get us into any trouble. I don't have any issues but can't say for these… " he points to the rest of the party.
Jess and Delgar gather and appear to be ready to go, as well.
Delgar responds to Hunter, "I saw that the merchant's guild was selling a handful of healing potions for about 100gp each. I didn't see any Neutralize Poison potions."
"Thanks Delgar… " Hunter runs quick to get a healing potion for his last 100 gps, he then returns sweating from the run. "OK, let's get outta here now we have some evil priests that need to attend their own funerals" Hunter smirks.
The young man would offer a nod to Hunter and the others, before focusing on Ardo saying, "There are many where I live who worship Bleredd, though given how it is an old mining town such is to be expected." He chuckles, as if his words were meant to be humorous.
Contonuing, he says, "Myself, I am a paladin of Zodal. An unusual choice I admit, but one I feel appropriate for the path I wish to follow."
He then turned his attention to Drethen to answer, "Thank you, I appreciate that." Turning to Hunter he finishes with the question, "What is this about evil priests? Do you know of what god or goddess they worship?"
