 Loe's face turns crimson red. His right hand reaches for something
underneath his old brown cloak.

 Karmak, display great agility, reaches across the table and holds his
friend's arm...

     "No Loe !! It's not worth it ! Let 'im go this time !"

 Then turning to the barmaid Karmak says to her...

     "We'll take care of that last round, but unless you hear from
     either myself or my friend, you are not to honor any other calls
     for drinks around the house to be credited to us."

 Loe lets go of whatever it was he was holding under his cloak and looking
at Chuck as he walks away from the table, growls loud enough to be heard by
all the patrons...

     "DEADBEAT !!"

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

"Loe looked at himself, then with a frown he growled at the Darkness:
            'You don't know the meaning of fairplay, do you ?!' "
