- The door to the Dragons-inn swung open and two figures entered. Eyes
- turned toward the pair but quickly returned to whatever conversations or
- drinks they had been focusing on. Anywhere else a six foot dwarf and
- rabbit would have been a strange occurance, but at the Dragons-inn, it was
- a matter of time.
-
- Gortok survey the romm with it's 19+ dark corners and turned to his
- companion.
- "Well? Is he here," he asked.
- The rabbits keen eyes pierced the dark atmosphere as his hand
- rested on the sword stuck through his belt. The great sword pulsed with power.
- "He was here recently, but has moved on. I do sense that someone
- here has recently been near him, had close dealings with the Draga."
- Tyrone scanned the room once more. "There, that woman by the minstrel.
- She might have an idea of where he is."
- The two crossed the room, Gortok taking the lead, until they sttod
- before the woman. She seemed not to notice them, but continued to listen
- to Listeners song.
- "Woman," Said Gortok. "We would have words with you."
- The woman cringed a bit and her eyes were haunted with loss.
- Tyrone quickly moved before the dwarf and shifted to his human form.
- "My lady," he said, dropping to his knees and kissing her hand.
- "Forgive my friend. He is a dwarf. he has no manners. My name is
- Sir Tyrone the cursed, formerly a paladin until dark fate bestowed upon me
- the curse of Lycanthropy and the form of a rabbit."
- The lady smiled a bit. "My name is Liera, what do you seek."
- Gortok grunted at Tyrones success, but Tyrone pressed on. "We..I
- seek a companion of mine. A draga by name of Meshtak. We were comerades
- until forced to seperate. I now seek him out. I know that he was injured
- and I worry."
- "You are correct," said Liera, dropping her eyes. "I know Meshtak,
- and he was injured. I nursed him back to health, but recently we were
- attacked by some creature. It killed Idgie, my dog." Liera stopped,
- tears forming in her eyes. Gortok opened his mouth to say something, but
- Tyrone stifled him with a glance.
- Tyrone returned to the woman. "Liera, do you know where he is now?"
- "He said something about going to the Spitting Cobra, to free
- someone named Blade."
- Tyrone stood up like a shot. Gortok looked at him. "This is bad,
- isn't it."
- Tyrone was swearing. "He's possesed, he must be. He's completely
- insane. The mad fool. He'll get himself and everyone else killed." Tyrone
- grabbed Gortok by the arm. "We have to stop him, he knows not what he does."
- "Yup," muttered Gortok. "This is bad." He pulled out the
- instruction manual for his axe. If he was going to be in a fight, he was
- going to be prepared.
