Nathan tried to grab Abia with his free hand as she stormed past him.  But she was by him in a flash, shouting her rage at the witch/demon.  He moved to put himself between the two of them.<br/><br/>"She blew a hole in the wall of your tavern.  Can't you see the glowing from her eyes and from her staff?  Can you imagine what she could do to you, Abia?"  he muttered back at her, his sword pointed towards the witch/demon.<br/><br/>"If you have the power to blow a hole in the wall of the tavern, I assume you have the power to fix that hole.  Or the money to pay for the hole, witch."  He was going to go with witch, since a demon shouldn't need a staff to manifest it's power.  As for Zataire, it didn't look like he was going to be of much help.  He wasn't even sure the man was still alive.  And he wasn't sure he really cared at this point.  After all, Nathan suspected it was Zataire that was responsible for bringing the wrath of this witch down upon the Calm Leaf Tavern.
