The front wall was a grid of iron bars. In one cell was a longhaired man holding a paintbrush and a bucket of paint. He was huddled in the corner of the room, staring rapturously at a highly realistic painting of the moon on the back wall of his cell. Vlad battered the lock open.  “What are you doing?” asked Beldin.Then Vlad stepped inside the cell with the man and stared at the painting of the moon.Sebastian looked away.  “Don’t look at it!”Kham felt his way back to the cell.  “What’s going on?”Beldin frowned.  “Vlad seems to be enchanted.  He’s staring at a painting of the moon.”Kham reached into his haversack and pulled out a can of paint.“Where?”“Straight ahead of you.”“Not going to have much use for this paint anyway,” Kham muttered to himself. Then he pulled back and threw the bucket.The can collided with the wall, spraying black paint everywhere.  The moon was covered.The man in the cell blinked. Then he immediately set to scrubbing off the paint.  Vlad shook his head in confusion.  “What happened?”“Nothing,” said Beldin.  “Kham was finally being useful.  Let’s get away from here before that guy starts painting another moon.”Beldin was focused on Vlad.  Vlad’s eyes were still adjusting from the enchantment.  Kham was blind.  And Sebastian had little peripheral vision due to the Pallid Mask.  So none of them saw Drak Scarbelly and his two companions, bound and gagged in a corner of one of the other cells.</blockquote>
