)>Without waiting for a reply he continues "There are others here who would be
)>of more use to you at your side battling the evil powers you indicated, but
)>I may well be your best hope of returning to the battleground.  For I have
)>made much study of magical transports, and could open a portal capable of
)>taking a small party of five or six well chosen companions.  Show me where
)>it is you have to go and I will study what wardings I would have to overcome.
)>Meanwhile, why don't you try to enlist a few companions for this quest?"
)
)>Felix stops and looks at Silverbreeze, and again takes a look around the inn.
)
)Shar clears her throat and speaks to the two occupants of the table.
)
)"If you wish my help, I would offer my services to your quest. Your tale," she
)nods at Silverbreeze, "saddens me, for long ago I experienced the loss of many
)close to me, and I would do all that I could to prevent such a loss befalling
)another."
)
)She sips at her coffee again, and refills the cup.
)
)"As for you", she says as she turns to Felix, "your studies offer me hope of
)returning to my home. Though," she pauses "there are things that must be done
)in this world, I must return to my own world eventually, and you appear to be
)my best hope." She unconciously fingers the silver crucifix around her neck
)as she speaks.
)
)"I fear, however, that my magical skills are non-existent. I am merely a
)physical warrior. However..."
)
)Shar looks around the room again, carefully making sure that there are no
)observers to their parley, before whispering in a low voice.
)
)"I must congratulate you both on your perception... I am indeed not what I
)appear to be. I was, once, but that was a long time ago. My memories of my past
)are vague, however, and I feel that part of my purpose here is to recover them,
)though I know not how."
)
)Shar looks from Felix to Silverbreeze and back again... waiting to see how
)they react to her statments.
)
Silverbreeze looks at Shar, then turns to Felix.

"I am afraid that my crystal ball remains in my home in Ulek. It is too
difficult to carry it around, for it is fragile and I fear for its 
destruction... then too I normally expect my arts to return me home.
If I were on Oerth, that I could do. Here, I fear not.

"Shar, to be a warrior is no shame. My friends Scarlet and Brunak would attest
to that," Silverbreeze smiles gently. "Indeed, many is the time that my arts
could avail us little and my warrior friends would get us out of trouble."

Silverbreeze reaches down to the backpack lying on the floor, and takes out
a leather bound book inscribed with silver runes. "My spellbook," he comments,
as he begins to flip through it.

"Not all the spells I know are recorded in here," he comments, "but a majority
of the ones I consider useful are. I hope to find a spell which might allow
us to see Oerth... It is not much good assembling a group to go there if we
could not find it."

Silverbreeze becomes lost in thought as he makes his way through the book,
mumbling to himself.
