Elgar saw he was not picked for the quest. He saw Atramor and Cronk were picked, he first went over to Atramor, after the very loud racist Paladin had left, and said "Good luck, and give Cronk a chance, he is a great hero." He then went over to Cronk to say goodbye to him too. Elgar then went back to the arena to see if those level ones were finished yet.
