A tall, fair man with short dark hair and a small beard enters the bar just as the group leaves it; a minute or so later, before the group has left, he exits again and heads towards them.

"I myself am a wizard; I can disable a greater or lesser number of foes or temporarily convince one that he is my bosom companion. I possess numerous other dweomers and, given a quarter of an hour, can have them ready. I thought," he continues reasonably, "that it would be best to leave some flexibility until we survey the situation more fully."

lot thus far.
