The inn fell into an embarassed and concerned silence. "I need heroes to aid me in one final thing before I die",he said in a broken voice,"I need someone to find for me The Fabled Blue Ring,which even now is in this very city.Please,I can pay any who seek payment for what they do,but that Ring MUST be found.Is there any here who would help me ?" He waited for an answer ... SunStorm: I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE THIS WORLD IS MADE OF, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD LET ONE OF THEIR FELLOW IN TROUBLE. The Old Man saw the Giant getting up without actually being able to stay completely upright. His head touched the high ceiling of the dragons-inn. SunStorm: IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHO IN THIS CITY COULD HELP ME ON MY OWN QUEST, THEN I SHALL HELP YOU ON YOURS. EXCEPT, THAT IS, IF IT INVOLVES ANYTHING LIKE GOING INTO CRAMPED SPACES... EXCEPT MAYBE IF I FIND A MAGE WHO CAN REDUCE ME... I HEARD THAT SUCH MAGICS WHERE POSSIBLE. Taking his cristalline gleaming sword and his helm, the hulking humanoid approached the Old Man. SunStorm: I MAY NOT BE HUMAN, BUT HERO SURELY MANY HAVE CALLED ME THAT IN THE PAST. IF YOU TRULY NEED HELP, I CAN ONLY HEAR AND ANSWER YOU PLEA. ============= Paradak.
