  As he sits on 'Raelf's seat, Lifilis Kloote finds a small pile of gear
by the table.  It seems that someone left their junk here.  He attempts to
shove it away with the foot - , but as he touches it, he suddenly finds
that he doesn't care about it, it's not important, it's Somebody Else's
Problem.  So he waits for his meal, ignoring the mess at his table.

  Littlefair appears with the soup and cleans the table, finding a message
under a crumpled metal cup:  "I am called away, I will join you if I can,
when I can.  K."

  "This doesn't belong to you, does it?" he asks.
  "No.  I know nobody here who could send me messages."
  "Then it's for the party in search of the Dragon.  I'll take charge of
it.  Say -"
  Kloote looks up from his soup.
  "Didn't you mention you can bring back lost persons?  This would be an
opportunity."
  "Lost Persons.  Not Dragons."
  "Only humans?"
  "No!  I could recover that dragon too, but it's too risky!  I need to
know the looks of the being in question, and if that dragon is Not
Accurately Described to me, another one will be summoned.  You'll
understand that I don't want that.  I won't do it unless they have a Very
Good Image of the beast."

  The barkeeper frowns.  "Oh yes.  Then perhaps you'd like to recover
Kron's sister?  The party who searches for her wasn't here for quite a
time, though."
  "If they can describe her well enough... We'll see to that."  Kloote
turns to the soup again, and the innkeeper returns to the bar.

  When the conjurer has finished his meal, he stands up and retreats to
his room for the night.
