  A two dimensionally figure slowly slides between the wall boards of the
inn and slowly fills out into the normal dimensions of this place. Wrapped
in bright red, filmy gauze, the man slowly scans the room. His ebony skin
seems to drink in the dim light of this place, and he smiles as he notes all
of the interaction that continues around him. Walking towards a mysteriously
empty table, he sits down and pulls a large chest or case out from within
the thin red gauze and places it upon the table. He smiles towards Rowan,
and beckons Caezar to move over to his table. He looks over at the Shrouded
one, and a glint of recognition passes over his face.

  "Now that I have found this most wondrous of places, let it be known that
I am Drax to my friends, and the Reaver of Black and Red to those whom
I have left behind. I have brought with me the chest of Mackeldar, within
which I have stored the wonders of many times and civilizations. There are
the answers to many questions, and many have found their fate from the items
that lie within this chest. Grave dangers also lie within, so proceed with
some caution, lest ye be endangered. These services I offer for a price,
and sometimes the price is steep, other times it is not. For the nonce, I
would enjoy a drink before the clamor returns."

Sitting back in the chair, Drax motions with a courteous smile to the barmaid
for a small cup of water and a loaf of bread, before returning his eyes to
the other patrons of the inn.
