[QUOTE="talien, post: 4022549, member: 3285"] [b]Madness in Freeport - Part 1h: The Sea Lord’s Palace[/b] The musicians resumed their set as a throng of admirers crowded Ilmarė and Arias. “Will you give me the pleasure of dancing with you?” asked Kham of the green-haired, green-eyed woman in a tight-fitting aqua-colored gown. She smiled back at him with no hint of shyness. “Certainly.” Kham led her onto the dance floor. “I’m Kham val’Abebi.” “Sister Gwendolyn,” she replied. A jeweled miniature trident hung from a silver necklace. “A priestess of Yarris?” Kham bowed as the music began. “I am doubly honored!” “You flatter me.” The priestess curtseyed back. “But enough of niceties, tell me of the heroism that earned you such a prestigious award.” “A little of this, a little of that.” Kham spun her into another waltz. “As a priestess of Yarris, surely you have an opinion about Drac’s lighthouse.” “I do indeed,” said Gwendolyn. “I’ve heard many odd things.” Kham slowly spun her out and then brought her back to him. “Such as?” “Strange noises and lights from the top of the lighthouse,” she said. “And strange dead things at the bottom.” “Now that’s interesting. What kind of dead things.” “Two horrible creatures with the head of an owl and the body of a bear,” she said with the slightest hint of a frown. Kham couldn’t keep from staring at her hair. It really was a dark shade of green. “Owlbears,” he said matter-of-factly. “The librarian at the Temple of Althares said he had never seen one before,” Gwendolyn replied. “I suppose it only makes sense that one as well-traveled as you would know of such things. He said they were well-known on the continent.” “That must be Lucius,” said Kham. He took a deep breath. Gwendolyn had a scent about her that reminded him of the fresh ocean air. It was intoxicating. “You know Lucius? You do know everybody, Master Kham.” “Not everybody,” said Kham, “but I’m glad to hear Lucius is staying out of trouble.” Gwendolyn watched Kham with lidded eyes as they came to the end of the waltz. “I get the impression you know all about trouble.” Kham led Sister Gwendolyn off the dance floor and over to her seat. “Unfortunately, trouble knows all about me.” A bow and a grin later, and Kham disappeared into the crowd.
