[At this time Zebron Twilight runs over and speaks to Aylyra (see the 
appropriate post for the text); as a result, Aylyra misses some of his 
talk]

[Aylyra snaps back into the present at this point (again see the other post)]

"Well, Mr. Wanderer, I guess you must be looking to learn the reason for
life. I must tell you, very few people I have read about, and fewer still 
that I have met even have a clue as to the answer to that question.
Have you done much adventuring in the past? I need to learn the skills of 
all the people who will be helping me, so I can better plan the strategy
we'll be using. I must apologize for some of my lack of attentiveness- I
was not expecting the legendary drow Zebron Twilight to appear out here.
I was taken quite by surprise."
 Aylyra reaches into a belt pouch and removes a small blue crystal, similar
to the burned shell that she held earlier, but this one is glowing strongly.
She takes out a new piece of parchment and starts to write while their 
conversation continues...
