Subject: Luthor returns to the Inn

     After the fog, the dragon, and the flaming warrior, Luthor was convinced
that the only possible thing left to defend the inn was a demon.  That was
when he saw a pair of red eyes through the mob.  They were magical eyes,
mysterious eyes, eyes that you could stare at all day and all night and
not get bored...
     "Oops, sorry Luthor, I thought you were part of the mob," Kadrys said
while breaking his hold on Luthor and melting into the shadows.

     Luthor stepped out of his confusion and continued his work disabling
the crowd.  After a while, when his muscles ached, the doors to the inn
opened again and out came the one who called himself "Fire Cat" (although
he would always be 'Old Goat' to Luthor :-).  Soon he found out why.  The
short man (3 feet tall) turned into a flaming cat which was about 4 feet
at the shoulder.  'Quite the improvement,' thought Luthor while making his
way back toward the inn.
     He managed to take out a few more rioters before reaching the point of
total exhaustion.  Before going back inside, he heard some of the people in
the crowd say that they were going to the Merchant's Section of the city
to 'have a little fun with the rich folks'.
     He had only sworn to protect the inn, so his duty was done for today.
     Inside the bar room, the owners and help were rushing back and forth
serving the people who had defended the inn and tending to their wounds.
Luthor sat down next to Brycur at his table and motioned for the bar maid
to bring him something to drink...'Anything wet will do'.
     "Where is Murell?  I have a few things to discuss with him," said
Luthor to Brycur who was holding his side, "What happened, did you break
your ribs?"

----
     When Murell saw Luthor in the doorway to the inn, Murell told Brycur
that he was going upstairs to get some sleep and dashed up the stairs.
     He was confused.  Luthor was the man who killed his father...there was
no denying that, but in the last battle, Luthor went out of his way NOT
to kill anyone.  Murell would have to think things through...

     Love and Peace and Chaos,
