	During Kyar's speech Aleric's eyes had turned from their neutral
shade of slate blue to a deeper blue of preocupation.  Something about the
name Phadra tugged at his memory, but he didn't remember where he had heard
of it before.  Since he could add nothing on that score, he didn't mention
it.  He pushed a tawny forelock away from his eyes as he spoke.  
	"For my part, I have only recently come to Generica from lands to 
the south.  I have spent the last few years as a hired guard and training 
with Xel-Ha."  Aleric poked a thumb at the elaborately worked hilt poking
over his shoulder.  The huge double handed broadsword, inherited through the
generations, was his sole claim to any family.  "But the south lands were a 
little too tame.  That's why I came here only a few days ago and began nosing
around trying to find someone interested in joining me in an adventure.  I
was told by several people to go to the Drift Inn and talk to Elanon with
the blood red hair.  So, I came to join your company."
	Aleric picked up his mug and drank.  He was definitely interested in
Kyar's reasons for joining.  Taredain was an enigma.  He wasn't quite sure
what his interests in this matter were.  And the little sprite to his left
was apparently a friend of Elanon's.  Aleric was interested in finding out
what Alarond had to say.  His entrance had certainly been dramatic.  He 
turned toward Alarond and said, "Elanon may know you, but the rest of us
don't.  How about telling us what brought you here?"
