Reliving his past has proved a bit uncomfortable. It is a feeling the White Minotaur can relate to. "It is not easy to be exiled from one's home is it? Long ago, I was placed in similiar circumstances. But my kind actively hunt the world for me. A champion brought so low is a blemish on the race..." "Or its salvation," comes a voice from the bar. Littlefair has finished with his previous customer and has arrived to help the two. "I remember you, minotaur. You were the Short Ogre Cook's first challenge. You and the blind story-teller Polar Bear helped buy time until Listener could get set up. Ah, the opening days were fun, weren't they? But enough reminiscing. What can I do to help you?" Thorr-kan finds Littlefair's relaxed attitude a blessing. It is not often that he finds himself at ease among the lesser races. "We need information, innkeep. Is there anyplace in Generica that serves the purpose of dimensional travel? Our friend is in dire need of help. Littlefair thinks momentarily. Then he nods. "There is the GateWay to Worlds. It is just down the street aways. An elf named Traveller runs the place. Generally, he can put a person right where they want, for a price. But with all the magical upheaval recently, there is no guarantee that everything will be in working order." Roger and Thorr-kan both look grim at this news. They know how rough the dimensional shift can be. Neither is certain that Wanderer can survive the trip. But they have no choice. "Thank you, Littlefair." The White Minotaur drops several platinum on the table: some small thanks for information, hospitality, acceptance. The innkeep nods his thanks and moves up the bar to Listener's side. "Thorr-kan, you think we need any supplies?" Roger asks as they quaff their drinks. The White Minotaur shakes his head. "No? Me neither. Come on, we gotta get moving." Roger winds his way through the crowd, back to Traveler and Wanderer. After passing on the information recieved, the foursome gets ready for the journey. -Thorr-kan, the White Minotaur ******************************************************************************** Peace through strength!
