[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4552840, member: 21938"] The gnome looks up at Maya with terror in his eyes. At Khadmeade's words he nods enthusiastically. [COLOR="SlateGray"]"Lamm, he's the one you want. He made me do it. I can tell you how to get to him."[/COLOR] He tries a grin. It looks sickly. Roin gives his uncle a rather stiff and awkward embrace. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"Uncle,"[/COLOR] he says formally. His voice is surprisingly husky. "I am well, thank you for coming. I believe the one they refer to as 'Lamm' is down there," he points to the hole in the floor (where the blond man fell). [COLOR="SandyBrown"]"I think they wanted me to be a sort of safe-breaker, and threatened to send me down there to Lamm if I failed."[/COLOR] One of the older boys, a rangy human lad, pulls the gnome's kukri out of the wall, trying to wipe the magical grease from it.
