Tellerian Hawke
Defender of Oerth
The Lieutenant said:"...The Magisters are pushing out the merchants to be able to control all the money. Southroad Fair is becoming a profitable depot. They want the money."
Tor questions the Lieutenant, "Are you saying that Asylim does not intend to annex Southroad Fair? i.e., do you mean that they simply want to position themselves as Southroad's only trading partners, by force if need-be, preventing other Ansylin merchants from trading with us? That would be highly irrational. And if this is the case, why are they so bent upon the arrest of The Seekers?"
At this point Merin enters, and wears a look of surprise to find The Seekers at the same table as The Captain and his Lieutenant. Undaunted, Merin takes a seat next to Tor.
Merin smiles, "I guess I'm late to the party. Tell me, what's the good word? Tor?"
