[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 6714871, member: 913"] [i]What the hell? Are these people all mad?[/i] Helmut thrusts his tankard down on the bar and looks at the foppish elf.

It’s hard to say which, but neither one is promising. Then there’s that quiet lady hanging around, like a schoolmistress, and this bookish fellow... Thrice damned Flanaess!
