Borin charges after him and, because he is a barbarian, quickly overtakes the retreating figure.  Borin swings his axe, hits and watches as the now unconscious dwarf transforms from a jolly fellow with a braided beard to a nasty, smarmy dwarf with dark features.  Marja, Kel, Morgaine and Xenia make their way over to Borin to offer assistance.  Blood pools out from the prone figure beneath Borin’s feet, staining the white sand a dark crimson.  Morgaine convinces Kel to heal the dwarf back to consciousness, so they may question him without wasting a healing potion.  Upon waking the dwarf is recalcitrant and unwilling to divulge any information.  In fact, he insults Marja crudely and Borin once again knocks him unconscious.  Kel argues they should turn him over to the authorities and prevents Borin from finishing off the nasty dwarf.  They bind his hands and feet, relieve him of his spell components and then send him off with the guards.  Meanwhile, Kalina runs up, stating that Fang bit the other dwarf, presumably a partner in crime, but he turned into a gaseous form before the wolf had a chance to detain him.  Deke is talking with Cotter while Gemma scans the beach for the other dwarf.  She can just make out a lone figure on the other side of the lake and takes off at a dead run in that direction, shouting over her shoulder as she does so.</blockquote>
