all the time up there. In any case, I instructed my new pupil in the ways of
picking, fighting and even a bit of thieving. For about a month this went on."
Tazzmar stands up.
Gowain grins.
Tishala smiles at Elendr.
Elendr says, "Then suddenly he was gone. And I couldn't find out what had

friendly towards the little mage, so as a result... I was pulled into the role

often to go hunt elsewhere and to have some time to ourselves. So we chose

landing folk. Just nice and quiet. Now I've spoken of a gift Thurfel gave my
Alyxandrah, which happened to be a cloak with the image of a Crab on it. She
