[QUOTE="Express, post: 2746288, member: 19166"] Light, to my surprise, leaked into our room as an unseen bolt slid free. So much for magical darkness. The doorway now was outlined and stood out amongst the black, and a small figure stood in the threshold. But it wasn't Gyger-it was Dorbo. "You!" exclaimed Bynara. "Where's Gyger? How..." Dorbo laughed, the lantern in his hand quivering as he did so. "Stop your blasted guffawing and get us out of here, blast you!" spat Bynara. Dorbo wiped a tear from his eye. "Ahh I'm glad ya both in good shape, I am truly, but tha sight of ya..ya look like ah couple o trussed pheasants!" More laughter. Bynara growled, and Dorbo produced a small knife from amongst one of the many pockets on his artificers vest. As he worked on our bonds Anvil appeared in the doorway. It was a regular reunion. I made a half hearted attempt to rise. "Where's Gyger? Is there anyone out there? How did you get here?" As it turned out, we owed or rescue to Honora. After getting shooed away by Byanara, she had lingered around a corner watching us enter from a safe distance. She stayed for well over an hour until she saw Gyger exit the shop and lock the door in a hurry. She scampered back to the Quayside hotel. Unfortunately Anvil and Dorbo were still canvassing to find Hennet. From the look of Dorbo they had also done some shopping. He had a new set of tunic and trousers in a vibrant green I think is only native to Zilargo. The clothing possessed a weird black thread swirl pattern. Like looking at the stars, it grew more vibrant when you looked away from it. But most egregious was the wide broad brimmed hat he had acquired, green with a huge black feather. "You look like a peacock, gnome." Bynara observed as her wrists were freed. Dorbo doffed his hat in manner befitting a courtier. "We arrived back out our lodgings by dusk." Anvil said, continuing the story. "We found the lady Honora in a rather upset state. She related the situation, so we made our way here as quickly as we could." "Aye, an' with tha door bolted there was na to do but break in. Twas risky, but we waited till night's dark an used a spell on tha front door. Luckily tha neighborhood was empty mostly. Quite a chance-most eyes in Zilargo would go straight to tha authorities quicker'n spit." Night? We had lost track of time. The two had searched the building. It was deserted. "With just one way out, an knowin Gyger's shady side business, was jus common sense ta look for a hidey hole. Took forever an had to use a scroll but we found it." "Bill me," I said "go on". "We wandered through some of tha tunnels," Dorbo explained as he adjusted his hat. "Got thru a big metal door easy with a nother scroll." Dorbo held up two fingers to emphasize his sacrifice to the cause. "Ran into a nasty mastiff and took care of him, an after that we found you." Anything else? Anvil looked at me mournfully. "Well yes, I suppose." he said in a deep but hesitant tone. We were led into the tunnel. It was full of crumbling masonry and the ceiling sagged. I saw to our left an intersection of tunnels. To the right Dorbo motioned us to a dead end and to another room. "Ya best look in here," he said, stepping out of the way. By and I stood in the doorway. Beyond we observed a small litle storage room. One corner was full of stacked crates, books and sacks or various sizes. Most likely a pile of swag. A chair stood nearby. Bynara gasped. She actually gasped. We both saw the face we had seen before in a potrait. Where before he had been youthful looking and vibrant, he now looked haggard. Still handsome,he had red rimmed eyes that no longer had a jaunty aspect to them- they now looked at us with a wild stare as if we were figments of his imagination. "By the Traveller, Dorbo" Bynara gaped, "you two found Hennet." [/QUOTE]
