"Well," the old man sighs and looks at all of you, "many thanks to ye all."
"Yes, we should get out of this chill, come let us go to my house at the far side of the court."
The old man lifts himself out of the puddle with the help of his flying servant.
"Thank ye Barnaby," the old man says to his servant.
"Ahh no problem master, you are so kind to me." The little winged gargoyle chortles in joy.
Then the old man turns to you all, " I think proper introductions are in order, I am Kappiyan Flurmastyr, Master Alchemist." "And this little winged fellow is Barnaby, my friend."
