The steam gently rises from the mug of tea, as Sara quietly looks over 
the varied occupants of the Inn. As she picks up the mug the sleeve of 
her tunic slips up her shoulder revealing a tatoo of a multi-colored 
dragon. In the pale light of the Inn it seems to be almost moving. 
Criss-crossing white scars cover the rest of her lightly tanned arms, yet 
she seems to be carrying nothing but a couple of daggers. After a few 
moments a large burly man comes and sits at the table and draws something 
on table. Sara smiles and nods. "Welcome Darian. Have you heard anything 
from the Company lately." Darian frowns and answers, "not recently, all 
traces of them have disappeared since they went into hiding last spring."
"Not good, not good. Any news of the swords being found yet."  "Actually 
two have been found, Shadow and Drake." "Interesting, Illusion and War, 
you'd think that Wayfinder would have been first." "Here is the book you 
requested, m'lady." Darian slides a small leather bound diary across the 
table and Sara quickly hides it within her loose tunic. "Be careful, all 
is not what it seems to be this time around." At that Darian stands and 
quickly leaves the Inn.
Sara stands and gathers her gear together and after a brief discussion 
with the Inn keeper heads up to a room. A single candle burns through out 
the night, from its stand on the reading desk...

	"Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo,
       		and never ever cut a deal with a dragon."

            <Sooner or later I'll think of something else.>
