It took a minute for the door to open up after Adam knocked. When it did, the door moved sharply and angrily, but only wide enough to show the head of an old man who wore an annoyed expression.  This was Old Gilligan: Master Shapeshifter and, once, a Diamond Tier Druid.

"What?"  As soon as Adam started talking, he was interrupted.  "Not interested."

And the door slammed shut.  Old Gilligan rarely got visitors and he liked it that way.  The fact that someone had managed to find his home was infuriating.  He grumbled about the rudeness of showing up at someone's house unannounced and uninvited, but then his brain registered the last thing he'd heard Adam say:  'My friend Glee...'

"That big-headed rascal giving out my location, Quinity damn the man," he cursed.  But this was Glee John Artorius.  An admittedly good student and insightful Druid.  Gilligan sighed and shook his fist. "Alright, Glee, you bastard," he muttered before turning around and hobbling back to the door.  Then much louder and just as angrily, "Alright!"

The door sharply opened again, this time all the way.  Old Gilligan was tall and slender like most elves.  He wore long sleeves and pants of basic brown furs, walked with a wooden cane and had an unchangable resting bitch-face.  He looked at each of the adventurers, sizing them up, before hobbling out and up to Adam.  "So, Glee sent you, did he?  What was you name?  Adahl?" If Adam even tried to correct him:  "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!"

Then he hobbled over to MacKensie.  "And you... look like a Ranger to me.  A pointless distraction."

Now back to Adam.  "Adahl... rank of your party - speak."  After that. "Ascended? Specialization?"

He gestured to the soil.  "Show me your skills.  Replicate a small tree native to this moutain.  You walked past enough of them right?  Well, chop-chop!"

Best case scenario, Adam would not show the necessary skill and speed of casting that signified a potential student.  Or better yet, he wouldn't even try, unwilling to take the rudeness and vitriol of Gilligan, and just leave.  Worst case is that Glee John Artorius was a good judge of student, and this would be a long day.
