OOC>> Sorry to hear about that, Mistral. Hope you are better, soon. IC>>

*PEVEN, the lich described above, storms in. To Kinn'zuwannik:* "Dragon, you have betrayed me. Just as my plans were coming to fruition, and my son about to be born, you have made some deal with the god-befouled Order. I had managed to get a suitable woman, and impregnate her, and now she is snatched away.. What do you mean by it? We had a deal. I was to give you that vase, and you were to provide the hidden cave where I could work undisturbed by her ...family. Is your word of no value at all? You reflect badly on the honor of dragons everywhere."

KINN'ZUWANNIK "And so, the deal we made, you and I, it was supposed to be for all eternity? The surety you gave, the pledge, where is it? You have my leave to rummage through my hoard, and if you find it, I shall take wing and steal the woman back, myself." (As the lich reaches for the nearest pile, he adds suavely) "subject to the usual penalties if you fail to find it, of course." (He smiles a worm-smile, a drop of black acid dripping from a foot-long fang and lands on Peven's tattered robe, dissolving a large patch of it in a puff of foul-smelling smoke.)

PEVEN (draws hastily back) "Well, what of it if you cannot keep up with your treasure? Am I to be surety, as you say, for all time?"

KINN'ZUWANNIK (roars)" JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO? SOME IMBECILE?" (then, coldly) " Lich, only you knew that I had my sweet bowl. Am I supposed to believe that some thief came to my den, risking his all, ignoring all else for one simple vase? No, you told someone. Someone who could steal from me. Therefore, I revealed your hiding-hole to Sir Blandamour of the Iron Arm. Ah, that makes you flinch, does it not? His very sister, you picked to be the incubator for your foul spawn? Why was that? The woods and vales are full of girls who are fit to bear men-children. Could you not find one with less-ominous protection? A question to which I have devoted much thought."
