Old 04-08-06, 02:06 AM #6 HugeOgre Kith entered into the back room and immediately caught sight of the woman he had seen speaking with Joe earlier - presumably his potential employer. I DO hope this is an honest and worthy endeavor His eyes descended on the man in the room - a spark of recognition in his eyes as the familiar imagery of his holy symbol caught his eye. "Well met, cleric of Ulura. You are Metrius Finch, are you not? I am Kith Ra Ei, of the southern forests. I was in the main hall when you entered." Kith nodded to the cleric, and bowed lower to the woman. "An honor Ms. LeCroix."
