[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5904598, member: 52403"] [b]Enter the bad guy ...[/b] Grembor is busy with the lock trying to leave find a way to remove the offending article before anyone notices. His keen ears however pick up the sound of the singing boards of the stairs as the creak under the pressure of someone’s light step. Looking around there is no-where to hide himself let alone the massive Jah so they lounge on the furniture to await the arrival of Estovion. He appears at the top of the stairs closely followed by Pringle. Approaching the library Grembor stands and steps before Estovion; “We need to talk Lodge Warden” he tersely says. Jah moves to the side ready to erupt into violence if this is needed as Jah’s response to anything seems to be violent. Estovian with a sign looks up myopically at Grembor and with thinly veiled exasperation in his voice demands; ”What is it now; I’m a very busy man you know!” Grembors grins and states “we need to know about your dealing with the Whispering Way.” Estovion looks startled for a moment before his eyes flicker to the trapdoor which from this distance seems to be un-touched but he assumes they have been up there poking around in his things. His eyes flicker to where Jah is standing almost close enough to touch; Grembor looks on as Estovion seems to be muttering or talking to himself under his breath he looks sideways at Jah who shrugs and grips his axe as a cloying yellow fog erupts around them; they both manage to hold their breath as the fumes try to seep into their mouth and nose.
