Zoick, you're back in the region I see.  Untie him and let him see.Zoick's eye flinches in the blazing light of a room adorned with mirrors, silver and more mirrors.  Once he adjusts he sees a short man, tiny even with silken black hair, yellowed skin and a long spidery moustache.  Squinty eyes and thin, flat face.  Wearing a white suit with blue buttons.  Two huge and bristly men surround him, one on either side of his chair.  Mylander - I, of course, am Mylander and I owe Spadefork... or whomever... a favor.  Or rather I'm giving this favor to him so that I might keep Red Root coming in to please my women.  (He points to a door that's covered in red velvet, Zoick almost thinks he catches a whiff of Tuberose and Musk)Zoick- I appreciate the warm welcomeM- Yes, one can't be too careful.  When you live as splendid as I, well it just wouldn't seem right to be killed by a lowly thief.Z- I wouldn't think of putting you off in such a way.  M- Well, I hear your looking for a star gem... well, that's me being blunt, te he he.  I can't seem to fathom why you think I would give you such a gift of information.  In fact, I think this will cost you even more...Z- You gotta be kinding.M- No, stupid, when I'm kidding I laugh.  That really is wonderful workmanship, that mask of yours... uh, te he te hehehe.  Now, back to business... I've had my brutes here, thank you boys, take another 100gp from your purse and now if you'll follow me to my private chamber.Z- Sure, can't wait to spend time alone.Zoick follows Mylander through a small and short steel door on the South wall.... As the door opens Zoick thinks he sees a subtle shimmer of light in the doorway, so he's not completely shocked when upon stepping through the door he finds himself on a pirate schooner.M- Now to my quarters my deformed friend.</blockquote>
