This is the second part of the story.  I revised a small portion of it &
reposted it for the people that missed it.  I will be posting the 3rd part
this weekend.

     Once the people settled down after the new found visitors came in,
all was quiet.  Then out of the blue, the door swung open again to reveal
Futuria Crystalshard, the proprietor from The Future shop.  The barkeep
hopped over the bar top & quickly closed the door.  "I'm surprised to see
you in here Futuria, as you never stop in.  What brings you in here on
this cold, snow-filled day?," says the barkeep.  Futuria turns his head
towards him & says, "I have seen something that disturbs me greatly.  I
saw three newcomers searching for an object of great power, while battling
evil that is after the very same object.  Have you seen any new customers
come in recently, as I have to warn them of the dangers."  The three new
visitors stand as they look towards the old man.  The taller man walks
over towards them and says, "Hello.  I could not but help overhearing your
conversation.  Please come join us."  The man helps Futuria walk towards
the table, while the other man in the group helps him with a chair to sit.
 Futuria takes the seat & says, "Thank you kind strangers for your
assistance.  The woman then says, "Would you like some of our tea, as we
have plenty here."  "That is very nice of you sweet lady, as I could use
some warming up," says Futuria.  Just then the woman signals the barmaid
for another mug for Futuria.
     The others take their seats, as the taller man introduces himself. 
"My name is Baskar Thelcor, Lord of Thelcor Castle from the island of
Ferngully.  This is my daughter Uni Thelcor, and my friend to your left is
Dartan Algae."  "It is an honor to meet all of you, as you already heard,
my name is Futuria Crystalshard," says Futuria.  "I can sense that you all
study different ways, as I am a fortune teller & a seer," Futuria
continues.  "Yes, I have studied the art of a fighter & the true natural
ways of a druid," says Baskar.  "I have taken the path of the magical
powers & intricacies of a wizard," says Uni.  "I, like Baskar here, have
studied the skills & teachings of the ranger," says Dartan.
     "You spoke of us looking for an object, battling evil, & being in
grave danger.  Have you recently been on a vision quest?," asks Baskar. 
"No, while I was sleeping last night, I had a troubling dream," says
Futuria.  As the three of them listen intently, it appears that Futuria is
in a trance-like state.  "I saw a powerful object, sitting on a pedestal
somewhere, waiting for a chosen one to free it from its resting place.  It
is an object that is able to grant anyone who has found it any power he or
she so chooses.  I saw an evil adversary raging the lands with what I
could only describe as monsters & fellow warriors helping him try to find
this item.  I then saw a fierce battle, with the people of the surrounding
lands helping the ones to stop the madman.  I could only see one person
grab the item, of who I don't know, & then a blinding white light flashed
and I woke up in a cold sweat."
     "Some dream!," replies Dartan.  Baskar then says, "Can you help us
find this object & stop this person before it's too late?"...

For those of you, the pronunciations for the names of my characters are as
follows:

Baskar Thelcor
Bas-car Thel-core

Uni Thelcor
U-ne Thel-core

Dartan Algae
Dar-tan Algaa
