	The Sage finishes his grizly work on the binding of the book and it
flops uselessly to the floor.  Highflyer notices the attack on the book 
(which came from the royal chambers upstairs) and yells out to the Sage,

	"What the hell do you think your doing?" he bellows, "You don't own
that book! It's from the royal chambers!!!"

	The Sage hands the knife, hilt forward, back to the man in red and
glares at Highflyer stupidly, after a long moment he replies,

	"Yes, the book does not belong to me.  But the owner will understand
that my intentions were for the best."  With careful movements, the Sage
peels something from the inside cover of the binding and, dropping the now
useless book onto the floor, begins to unfold it.

	VOOM!!! - Everyone within five feet of the Sage is blown backwards
(Except the statue) as a jet of flame shoots from the unopened parchment and
engulfs the Sage.  Within moments the conflagration has diminished and the
Sage is left smoldering on the tavern floor, badly burnt.  The document seems
to have been consumed in the flames.
