Characters involved: Colin, Azzar, and more as they come to the table.

  "You are perceptive Colin, that's good." Banner comments on Colin's glace at
the remaining figure at his table, "Indeed, it is the avatar of Ilmatur. Since
our first meeting, he has neither spoke nor ate. The only time he does move is
when he lashes himself." Banner scowls, obviously sickened by any form of
torture. He looks to the hour candle near the bar, the melted mass marking the
time to be late in the evening. "I would tell of our travel to find Ilmatur's
chosen but the hour grows late and time is against us. We should rest."

  Banner and Zephyr stand. He hands her the room key and quietly asks her to
go on ahead. The elven girl nods to those at the table and departs, walking
back to her table and joining the avatar. The jumbled mass of cloaks stands
and the two go upstairs.

  "I am grateful that so many of you are strong-hearted. I would gladly accept
the aid of any who would protect the avatar and see that he reaches the
Scholia. Do not be deceived, only the avatar of Ilmatur could defeat the
Mistress. But, we in turn are the only ones who can protect him from her
minions. I will take my leave of you now and let you decide amongst yourselves
if you wish to take on this quest. Those who wish to join should return to this
table at sunrise and be ready to travel." Banner slides his chair back under
the table and departs.

As my access to the net is ending next week, I may only post once more.

To Colin or Azzar: If you wish to keep this going, email me.
