ooc...I am going to leave the story there, for now.
Kaz and Neb will want in on the action in the morning.
Maybe they can find out who the bad guys are.
(hint...these mages did this on purpose to remove successful bussinesmen from their positions in society.)
They are also not human nor elven 
Don't take them out so fast...come up with a good story for them...
I will let you have some fun there...these three mages should be considerably tough, and they work together, with nobody else...just the three of them.
Mistral, since you will be on here until I come back on in the morning...could you add some more depth to the plot, and make it stronger for me?
And let's leave something for Deiter to play with. We can easily extend this plot into two divisions fighting and rescue. I am only interested in the rescue for now. Neb and Kaz can chase the bad guys for a while...(and you have all the time you want to do it in. In fact...tommorrow, if you have taken it far enough...I will be the bad guys that are fighting the two of you. That will make it more fun. Just let me have time to get there!
