  Tojar looks at Drax, with an expression somewhere between surprise
and respect.

  "Well met, goodfellow! I venture you saved blood from being spilled,
this night, with that casket of yours."

  "Boy!" he calls, in the direction of the bar, "Come out and give
account of yourself, for your pursuer has gone for now, and many here
have pledged their honour for your safety."

  Andor Kell turns to his lord, and whispers something, sotto voce.

  Oridian nods in agreement to his vassal. "Let it be done," he states.

  Andor motions to the third knight, and the two followers exit the Inn.

  Tojar looks about, and realisation comes to him that his cloak has
slipped. He pulls it about him, even tighter, and studies the faces of
those who watched the fracas, looking, perhaps, for evidence of
recognition.

  "I think this so called 'Baron' brings the rank into disrepect," he
mumbles, to no one in particular.

ADMIN: Excellent format! It clarifies the flow of events very well.
Ideal for saving what happens in a digest form.
