Lester screams, and shoots a fireball after them, wounding one of them a little.  He flies after them on his wings, but they're far quicker than he, and he can only cast one more fireball at them before they're out of range.  The rest of the party is still trying to figure out what just happened, and the only thing they're sure of is that Orbius lays in the street, his eyes glazed and open, staring at nothing, head at an unnatural angle.Lester returns, angry.  "Damn it!  Who were those guys?  And why'd they do it??  I need my Eye back!"  He snatches the note from the Eye's chest.Do not trifle with or spy on us, it reads.  It's unsigned, but Lester curses.  "It was the Temple of Elemental Evil, I'll bet!  Ooh, we gotta get those guys!"Next Time: Lester's quest for a scroll of true resurrection!  Will this change the party's direction?  And coming soon- Alcar's return!</blockquote>
