+Jones says to the group:
+ "Well, since we seem to be somewhat ready to get going....
+ 
+ Miro, first get us to the warehouse.  We need to get there
+ without being noticed if possible;  personally, I'd prefer some
+ gratuitous and senseless violence, but I had a really nasty
+ premonition about that!

The elf grins a sort of predatory smile, lacking the sharp and
immediate menace of the vampire, but with a hint of the cat who
likes to play with his food before he kills it.  Pulling his grey
hood back over his red hair, so his face falls back into shadows,
he begins to fade away.  A faint breeze blows through the room
making the smoke from certain tobacco fiends' various habits go
back in their faces (both at this and other tables).  As Jones
goes on talking, 

+ Once you get us there, Miro, we'll have new clothing and a
+ wagon  loaded with boring books about kindly charities...

  the elf has vanished except for the glint of green eyes and the
grin.  As soon as Jones notices them, they are gone as well.

+ Quickly, Foxmore grabs up his few possesions; straightens his
+ ship's suit, checks his tool...er...WEAPON; and sticks his pipe
+ into a small pouch-like opening on the side of his pant-leg.

Foxmore (and anyone with extra-acute hearing) hears a faint voice,
just barely not whispering, "I'll be back wi' the escape vehicle
in half a', so you be after havin' another drink."

And don't forget to tip the waitress.
