 The aarakocra extends a feathered hand a shakes Escobar's...

         "My name is Karmak and this is my little pet Thrasha."

 The winged lizard on Karmak's shoulder winks at Escobar.

 Karmak continues...

         "And that big brute across the table is my comrade Loe."

 The flind puts down the chunk of raw meat, wipes his clawed hand
and shakes Escobar's.

 Karmak speaks again...

         "We are supposed to meet a friend of ours in this
         town. We heard that the Dragons-Inn was a peaceful
         place where one could get something to drink and eat
         and exchange tales of far away places without having
         to worry about being stabbed in the back, so we decided
         to wait here for our companion."

 Karmak scratches his head...

         "Cervantes ? ... Hmmmm ... your name sounds very familiar;
         where could I have heard it before ?"

-- Out of the Darkness, two came back alive --

"When it was all over, Nimhrad opened His eyes. The Darkness
was all around Him and within Him, and at that moment his
existance began."  -- Long live Nimhrad !
