(ADMIN:  Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes here.  I tried to keep everyone
in character while using you guys as little as possible.  I haven't yet 
grasped the art of using other people's characters when I know so little 
about them.  Let me know if there were any problem.  -Matt C.)

The White Minotaur sits himself at the table with the remainer of Glysten's
ill-fated quest.  Traveler looks alright, and it gladdens Thorr-kan's heart
to see the Jolly Roger alive and well.  But Wanderer..., Wanderer is cause
for concern.                                         

Thorr-kan has rarely seen a person in this state before.  The human has the
stench of undescribeable agony about him.  He pays little attention to the
world about him and seems faint around the edges.  There is barely any
acknowledgement of the minotaur's arrival.

Turning to Roger and Traveler, he asks in a low rumble, "What is with our
comrade?  There is hardly anything left to him!"

The Jolly Roger and Traveler update the minotaur briefly.  Thorr-kan smiles
briefly at Roger's description of his arrival; he has never minded making a
stir.  In return, he fills the other two in on his removal and arrival.  But
his disapperance after the scene at the gate, Thorr-kan is strangely quiet.

Silence sweeps the table for several minutes as the company gathers their
thoughts.  Gleep arrives, having finished his fries, and proceeds to loop into
Wanderer.

"SETTLE DOWN, LITTLE ONE!"  roars Thorr-kan.  "Leave the poor man alone."  

But the pseudo-dragon has gotten a reaction out of Wanderer.  He shakes himself
slightly, and mutters to himself, "Home.  I must return home and soon."  Then
he returns to silence.

The table's other three occupants look at each other grimly.  No one knows
where the others are from.  Traveler moves next to Wanderer and begins an
attempt to learn of his homeland.  Meanwhile, the Jolly Roger and the White
Minotaur move to the bar.  They begin arranging for supplies with Littlefair
and looking into the possiblility of transportation to Wanderer's homeland.

-Thorr-kan, the White Minotaur
