Ezala the secretary comes back into the room, interrupting further conversation. "Tophran will see you now, please come in." She waves her hand rapidly, ushering you through.
Tophran's office is lavishly decorated, but surprisingly small. The main feature of the room is an enormous desk, which looks as though it is made of densewood abd must have cost a small fortune. Several couches and stuffed armchairs dot the remainder of the room, while the walls are decorated with rich tapestries and beautifully illustrated landscapes. A pervading sense of organized chaos fills the room. The desk is cluttered with several piles of papers, while most of the paintings hang slightly crooked. The faint smell of cinnamon hangs in the musty air.
A small, middle-aged man with white hair and a bushy mustache sits behind the massive desk, looking oddly diminutive behind its huge span. In a scratchy but firm voice he introduces himself. "Welcome, all of you. I'm Tophran Damilek." He casts an appraising eye over the lot of you before muttering, "Yes, you lot look like you might fit the bill. Please, be seated." Then, with a sharp bark, "Ezala, some refreshments please? Tea and biscuits? Quickly now, please."
Returning his attention to the assembled adventurers, Tophran queries, "So then...to business?"
