Eyes turned toward the pair but quickly returned to whatever conversations or drinks they had been focusing on. Anywhere else a six foot dwarf and rabbit would have been a strange occurance, but at the Dragons-inn, it was a matter of time. Gortok survey the romm with it's 19+ dark corners and turned to his companion. "Well? Is he here," he asked. The rabbits keen eyes pierced the dark atmosphere as his hand rested on the sword stuck through his belt. The great sword pulsed with power. "He was here recently, but has moved on. I do sense that someone here has recently been near him, had close dealings with the Draga." Tyrone scanned the room once more. "There, that woman by the minstrel. She might have an idea of where he is." The two crossed the room, Gortok taking the lead, until they sttod before the woman. She seemed not to notice them, but continued to listen to Listeners song. "Woman," Said Gortok. "We would have words with you." The woman cringed a bit and her eyes were haunted with loss. Tyrone quickly moved before the dwarf and shifted to his human form. "My lady," he said, dropping to his knees and kissing her hand. "Forgive my friend. He is a dwarf. he has no manners. My name is Sir Tyrone the cursed, formerly a paladin until dark fate bestowed upon me the curse of Lycanthropy and the form of a rabbit." The lady smiled a bit. "My name is Liera, what do you seek." Gortok grunted at Tyrones success, but Tyrone pressed on. "We..I seek a companion of mine. A draga by name of Meshtak. We were comerades until forced to seperate. I now seek him out. I know that he was injured and I worry." "You are correct," said Liera, dropping her eyes. "I know Meshtak, and he was injured. I nursed him back to health, but recently we were attacked by some creature. It killed Idgie, my dog." Liera stopped, tears forming in her eyes. Gortok opened his mouth to say something, but Tyrone stifled him with a glance. Tyrone returned to the woman. "Liera, do you know where he is now?" "He said something about going to the Spitting Cobra, to free someone named Blade." Tyrone stood up like a shot. Gortok looked at him. "This is bad, isn't it." Tyrone was swearing. "He's possesed, he must be. He's completely insane. The mad fool. He'll get himself and everyone else killed." Tyrone grabbed Gortok by the arm. "We have to stop him, he knows not what he does." "Yup," muttered Gortok. "This is bad." He pulled out the instruction manual for his axe. If he was going to be in a fight, he was going to be prepared.
