{Characters involved: Thk, Lady Azzar, Colin Silvertree, Virgolt Lightning-
sword, Karmak and his pet, and possibly Littlefair}

A BRIEF RECAP OF EVENTS (with clarifying timeline imposed by moi):

A handful of the Inn's patrons have gathered around the frozen lizard man.

Colin and Virgolt argue while Lady Azzar warms the creature's trident and
slips it free.  Then, as she fumbles with the sheathed weapons, Virgolt
casts a counterspell and causes the area to chill once more.

[ADMIN -- at this point, the spell casters are at an impasse, unless
they can resolve it somehow (hopefully in peace, as this ice block
has already caused the death of one patron)]

Colin finds himself holding the silver trident, which sends a faint
tingling sensation up his arms.  The three prongs are bloodstained
and one of them is speared neatly through what looks like a large,
hexagonal, reptillian scale of translucent white.

[OUT OF CHARACTER -- that last paragraph contains a BIG HINT!!!]

Meanwhile, Karmak's pet enjoys the odors, which are reminiscent of 
the contents of a killerwhale's stomach.

Thk just lies there, motionless.
