<div align="center"><strong>The crime scene</strong></div><br/>The lead detective exclaims, “Who we are, is the law around here. And of course we’re from around here. You’re the one who is out of place. Now keep your hands where we can see them and don’t make any sudden moves. Now why don’t you tell us just what the hell you’re doing here!”<br/><br/>One of the uniformed officers lowers his weapon, but does not holster it. He steps forward but makes sure not get in anybody else’s line of fire. He smiles warmly saying, “Wow! I love your costume. I didn’t know there was gaming convention around here though. I usually dress as a barbarian myself. I have seen other elf and even drow costumes, but you could tell they were just costumes. Yours looks so real it’s almost frightening. How did you get the make up to look so real? Gawd, it must have taken you hours to apply that much make up. Please forgive us, but things have been really weird since that flash of light and the power went out. We’re all kinda on edge.”<br/><br/>He turns addressing his fellow officers, “Calm down guys, she just got here. She didn’t have anything to do with this. Kyle already told us that he killed these three guys here and why. She just happens to be an oddly dressed innocent by stander.”<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>The ice cream shop</strong></div><br/>Kyle is just about to respond to Ms. Black’s comment but does not get the chance as another stranger, this one in robes, enters. He touches a ceiling light with his staff and suddenly all the lights in the room come back to life. The newest other worldly lady apparently knows him as she gets a look of delight on her face and hugs him. He thinks, ‘man, I have SO got to get used to keeping that sword close at hand.’<br/><br/>His eyes are still adjusting to the lights coming back on when they are assaulted again as a car’s headlights angled directly into the shop. Then a very angry man comes in brandishing a large revolver putting it at the three non locals. Then of course, Ms. Black draws her own weapon. Kyle is a little shocked when she actually announces that she is CIA, which cause him to hesitate long enough for the ‘Archmage’ to respond.<br/><br/>Kyle steps directly in front of the gunman, so that the pistol is now pointed directly at his own chest. He looks the other man in the eyes and calmly says, “Yo, Dude, these people are just confused as we are. I seriously doubt that, even if the archmage here knows spells that could do this, he alone has the power needed to move the entire town and surrounding land. Besides who or what is responsible is not important. The important thing is to make the best of the situation. Besides if he is powerful enough to cause this, do you really think that pea shooter of yours will do anything more than just piss him off? I personally do not want to be turned into a frog or something worse.”<br/><br/>Tiagar, simply stands back to patiently watch what transpires. After Zelith casts his comprehend languages spell, Tiagar subtly casts his own on himself and the Lady Viviana. It is finished in time to understand Kyle’s speech to the angry young man. He mentally kicks himself for not doing so earlier.<br/>
