..sage swings out to the Towers in the harbour and sends a message to 
Teondir "A boat, quick, tell the harbour marines or Watch that 'the Old
Ferret' needs their help and pronto!" "I will speed your boat to the docks."

The Seer, watching what is happening and reporting to the Wasters suddenly
experiences a blinding flash and is momentarily unable to locate those he 
was watching. A voice reverberates in his skull "I'm not in the mood to be
spied upon, but I don't have time to deal with you now."

In the minds of those chasing Dougl the voice of ...sage once again bypasses
their ears and informs them "they have taken Dougl to the Broadmarch"
"Kron and Karl are at the dock waiting for Teondir." "make post-haste, for
the ship has set sail and my strength is waning" 
"I will try and stall the ship while Seer is blinded, but I fear he won't be
for long"

ADMIN: Teondir: use whatever means you think are appropriate for ...sage to
	speed up the boat.
	Others, I'd like to wrap up the Dougl part of this thread on the
	Broadmarch (more to be revealed there), and Andrew (Kron) will be
	unavailable for a week soon, so if we could pause the Waster bashing
	(though not their intervention) and get Dougl back. :)
	Email me if you want more of the lowdown. I've been saving each post
	in this thread and it looks like being a good story.
