*Arcxsus nodded and watched as the new, bewildered looking female strolled in.*<em>Odd enough that she was led here, but today has been the rather continuous odd occurrence.</em>*He smiled as a driink was brought to him. He gave the Fay who brought him his drink an extra gold piece and hurried her away playfully.*<em>Now down to business.</em><strong>You all seem to know me rather well, so I would like to turn the tables. Odd enough that my regular training should be interrupted by such... exotic folk. Be it a question, but what drives a Drow so close to a well established Fay presence? Trouble? In-fighting? or simple day-lust?</strong>*He sipped from his drink and his eyes seemed to light with brightness of their own.*<em>Ah, strong and tasteful as always. That old crack sure knows her stuff.</em>*He winked at the old Fay women by the fire and she smiled back at him. Obviously knowing his thoughts about the drink. She spoke low over the fire and it swirled and crackled.*<em>And as always, keeping the soothing flames leaping.</em>*He caught some movement at the window and snapped his head towards it. Too late. Whatever it had been was gone now, but whatever it was left a spine-chilling hate behind. He returned his eyes to the group at the table awaiting their replies.*<br/><br/><br/><em>A black shape flitted over the walls. No bigger than a salamander and not even a threat. It was meant for surveillance and scouting. It crawled down the wall and across the window of the group's inn. "These are the ones. They must be dealt with before we can begin." The black salamander continued on and went toward the eastern gate. Bad choice. As soon as it neared the gate, the Draconic Guardian snaked out a lighting bolt and fried it. So much for scouting, but it had fulfilled it's purpose. The eastern horizon had blackened considerably with clouds. The guard was at triple strength along the walls. All of this oblivious to our champions, snuggled away cozily within the Sleeping Dragon. Some days would pass before they would even realize trouble would be upon them. So time is left to be merry and enjoy each others company.</em>
