The members of Barthrock's team and the Silver Moon all travel through the anti-magic shell. The army of bugbears, who have just been resting for the past four days, immediately get to work moving the bookcases and other supplies through the shell, setting up a new camp a few hundred yards away on the other side. </p><p></p><p>Joel relays Finders message to the others, and he and his team begin looking at all of the Zhentarim information that the group brought. Ailsheir’s story is relayed to Cassie, Kim-Sung, Lannon, Mojo and Narg, who are grateful for the drow having helped them out. They are, however, taken aback when he says, “I’m looking for a new place to say, and your friend Lono invited me to go back with you.” Lannon complains “He was working directly for Lolth!” “Yeah, but he was put through Finder’s sanitizer” Lono interjects. The others are very hesitant about this idea, even after Timothy checks out the drow’s aura and confirms that he is no longer evil. Aradyn says “If we put it up for a vote I am against it.” “Even though he saved my life?” Cassie asks her boyfriend. “We shouldn’t hold that against him,” Lono states, and then adds “I invited him.” Mojo supports his cousin, adding “I once adventured with a drow in the Liebercrantz group, and he was OK. “Then he’s your problem,” says Aradyn “Just keep him of out my way.” “Ailsheir, you’re in,” Lono announces to the drow.</p><p></p><p>Looking to Narg, Mojo says “So, can he move into our house?” Narg gives an emphatic “NO.” “But you’re moving out,” comments Mojo. “Even if I am, he’s not taking my place,” says Narg. “No, he can take my room,” says Mojo, “I’ll move into yours.” Narg says “I don’t want him in the building. It’s a racial thing.” “So, where is this Narg Junior going to live?” asks Mojo. “He said not on the island,” comments Fiona. “Send him to Da’Bears” Serita says. “What do you think of that idea?” Fiona asks the boy. He replies “Well, I don’t really know that much about them. The only one I’ve met is Lady Opal.” “Lady?” asks Cassie. “The future Eldamar Lordholder,” Narg Junior replies. Narg interjects “He ain’t going to live with any of those damned bears. He’s going to go live with my folks. He said he never really got to know them.” “What with them only being fictional,” Mojo interjects. </p><p></p><p>“About this Island of yours,” Ebony Shadow asks, “Am I to understand that clothing is to always be worn?” Narg answers “Yeah, well I’ve seen some of these guys naked before, trust me, clothing is a real good idea.” “So is using some type of protection when you are messing around,” Serita says to Narg. Lono tells Ebony “Listen sweetie, you can be naked around me any time you want.” </p><p></p><p>Looking over the now accumulating mountain of bookcases and furniture, Narg says “And how are we ever going to get all of this crap home?” Serita suggests sailing the ship home. The four flaws to that plan are pointed out, namely: (1) They have three shiploads of stuff, not one; (2) It would be a journey all the way around the world, which would take the better part of a year; (3) This particular river in not navigable much further, due to the presence of several waterfall; (4) The ship itself had its controls destroyed, so is no longer useable under its own power. “I never said it would be easy,” she replies. </p><p></p><p>Fiona points out that all of this stuff could be Reduced, but regrettably she does not know that particular spell. “I never thought I’d say this,” says Narg, “But we need more magic-users.” It is pointed out that in addition to Cassie, the mage Kharole who is back on the Island knows that spell. They then ask both Joel and Barthrock about mages. Finder’s Band has no mage, but Barthrock says that his team does, and knows the Reduce spell, but there is one problem. “What?” asks Narg. “He’s been staying invisible, hiding from you and Aradyn, since two months ago you both threatened him. Narg and Aradyn agree not to hurt him, provided he helps reduce the stuff. Barthrock gets him from the ship, and finally introduces the mage Kebbark to everyone. </p><p></p><p>Lannon reminds the group that Lord Kindor, the Lordholder of Jawlt, had a mage with a teleportation device, who had sent the party on the short mission to the town of Nova two months ago.

Narg says that he is going too, as he needs to have a talk with Vallessa. This leads to another conversation that Narg would rather not have, about what his intentions are. Cassie suggests that he bring Narg Junior as well, which Narg is adamant against.

Sixteen of the girls get into the bags of holding. Also climbing into the bags are Narg, Lannon and Kim-Sung.

Why?” asks Lannon. “She had a real good lawyer,” Kindor answers, “The Barrister convinced the Zalparians that she wasn’t responsible for her actions because she was under Morgarth’s control.” Lannon says, “Well, she won’t be able to use that excuse again.”</p><p></p><p>Lannon then says “The real reason that I am here, other than to fill you in.” “And have breakfast,” adds Kindor. “Right,” answers Lannon, “The reason is to ask for a favor.

Could we ask for the loan of your mage Mahjorn?” “Cleaned it out, huh,” says Kindor, “I’ll bet you took everything.” “Everything except the dust and cobwebs” answers Lannon, adding “and I think Cassie took some of that too, just in case it might have been magical.” </p><p></p><p>After the meal, Kindor and Lannon track down Mahjorn, who says he won’t mind helping out. “It might take a few weeks,” adds Lannon.
