[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 5041560, member: 79440"] The dwarf's fingers twitch, and his face dons an expression of longing, not to own the spear, but to simply examine it. It's the face a researcher would wear when denied access to a book in a library, [COLOR=Sienna][B]"Aye. An' aye go' queschens o' m'own ta'ask ye." [/B][/COLOR] Fargo examines the papers on the table, shuffles through them until he reaches the map that Talon found on the boat in the sewer-river, He spreads it wide and places the stubby index finger of his right hand in the upper left-hand corner of the map, [COLOR=Sienna][B]"Aye'as barn an' raised in Kartuk! Ev'ry'n knows th' starry o'ole Arkus Gimlard. Sailed off ta fine'is traisure 'e did. No gold come back, bu' 'e sen' us th' fines' steel a dwarf coul' make, an' 'ad blades stronger'n giants!
