As Orion was speaking, a squad of Thunderstorm Bearmen followed a sturdy Pandaren, heading straight for Orion and Bao.
Seeing that Orion was a giant made the Pandaren uneasy—everyone knew giants were typically very powerful, and they ruled this stretch of forest.
"Bao, is this guest someone you invited?"
The Pandaren who strode over spoke in a deep, resonant voice, clearly at the peak of the hero level. And the Thunderstorm Bearmen that accompanied him were mostly hero level too.
This village is more than meets the eye, Orion thought to himself. Looking at the mature and collected Pandaren, Orion gave a faint smile.
"What's your name?"
Orion, ever direct, didn't bother introducing himself first; he merely asked the Pandaren outright.
"Honorable giant warrior, I am Taran, the chieftain of this village!"
"Has my tribesman offended you in any way? If so, I apologize on his behalf."
