Well, let's split up, you go follow Dramic, and we'll go the other >way, then." E'Karam pondered this exchange and decided that he was confused. As this was his normal state of mind, it did not bother him much. "Let me get this straight," he began. Of course, he never got it straight, but he always got an "A" for effort. "Here we are, outside the Dragon's Inn, in the snow, looking for someone who none of us know, for no apparent reason. Did I miss something?" "Nope, that's about it," Denner answered. "Okay, just checking. Well, you said that he was staggering, so all I have to do is go to the door of the inn and track a set of staggering footprints. How hard could that be...It's not like people stagger out of taverns every day or anything." E'Karam walked over to the door of the inn, stared at the ground for a while and then looked at the group again. For a moment, his tenticles twitched. Then he paused, scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I give up." "Well, now what do we do?" Meran asked. E'Karam thought hard and remembered an ancient Halfling secret for finding lost friends or children. E'Karam inhaled deeply and shouted, "KALENDRAF, WHERE ARE YOU?...KALENDRAF..." Love and Peace and Search Parties, -The Dreamer- ADMIN1: We have to find a better prefix for this thread...what about [Kal]? ADMIN2: Okay, so E'Karam is a really STUPID Mind Flayer who thinks he's a Halfling.
