He was in the process of demonstrating his technique to the unfortunate man when the ooze mephit sidled up to the table and quickly took several big gulps from his master's mug.“Have you found a way out of the city?” Littleby asked the stranger at the table whilst Caleb was still busy staring at him.“Not yet,” replied Andrew. “But I'm sure that something will come up. Are you looking to leave soon?”“Possibly yes.” said Littleby without a trace of emotion on his face.“Are you going to do something that will facilitate the need to leave the city soon?” asked Andrew.The others laughed and Littleby replied: “I don't know what you mean.”Just then Traxa the Maiden and Ulut both got up to leave the tavern. The Shadowknave sat back idly in his chair and was busy shuffling a deck of cards. Toranna divided her time between staring moodily in to her mug and giving her half-elven companion hate-filled stares that he simply ignored.Serena focused her will and built a mental bridge between the minds of her companions so that they could talk through thoughts alone. As an afterthought she sent a link to the stranger at the table and invited him to join their conversation.“Who are you people?” asked a startled and surprised Andrew in a louder tone than he'd intended. Littleby slipped away from the table to go to the back room where the latrine was located, but he could still listen in on the thoughts being exchanged.I'll give you 1000 gold if you help us. Serena sent to Andrew.What are you planning to do? asked Andrew, his thoughts laced with suspicion. What's your end goal here?We need Toranna the Gray. Serena sent back in reply.No I got that. You want to kidnap her, thought Andrew wondering briefly if any of his other thoughts were audible to these strange people. But for what purpose?A friend of ours is facing trial and currently in jail. We need Toranna to give evidence to clear his name. Serena thoughts were sincere.Did he do it?asked Andrew.Well, he did. replied Serena, somewhat uncomfortably. But he was under enchantment when he did it.“WOW” said Caleb aloud after the thoughts exchanged by his companions finally filtered between the tectonic plates of his mind. “I NEVER KNEW ANY OF THIS.”We're going in now are we? asked Littleby from the back room where he was busy preparing some spells.Getting her unconscious would be our best bet. said Malkir in a calm tone of thought.Do you have a plan yet? asked Andrew worried that there might not be one.“WE RUSH IN AND KILL THEM ALL” said Caleb in his loud mono-tone voice, causing some of the other tavern patrons to turn around and glare.OK, so what is the other plan? asked Andrew, not managing to hide the worry in his thoughts.</blockquote>
