"....sush.... and I'll tell you. I went to an ansharan temple deep inside the old city. There I learned that they are snakes. All of them. Lying snakes. "If you cross one, they will sacrifice you and BLOW you to smithereens. Shivered my timbers they did imagine the horror when the Ansharan priest slit the throat of his acolyte, and BOOM! Thorns splayed from the poor bastards skin like shrapnel from a Milandisian Cannon. Blood, and bile everywhere. All that was left was the poor fella's foot. That flew through the air and clobbered me square in the head. Then as I lay flat on the floor smothered in blood, on the edge of deaths door, I hear the ansharan priest cackeled and HE DID IT AGAIN!. The second bomb wiped out what was left of the party, save one. Had he not seen fit to Eye for an Eye, we all would be dead sacrafices to the pain mother. "That sir is why the Ansharans are evil incarnate. They tempt you in with promises of salvation and caring. But when pressed, they are quick to turn you and your corpse into living bombs. |

The gnome stares at the pirate in wide-eyed disbelief, clearly at a loss for words. "Um..." he says finally in a quiet voice, "That doesn't sound like any Ansharans I know," the looks around furtively before continuing "You sure that wasn't some Ymandragoran trick? Them's guys have some powerful magic it's said. Not wise to cross them. Where was this again?" |

"The Inquisition? Bah, Ive seen what they do... " Funnels another bottle of rum. "..They kill everyone associated with the heresy. Guilty and innocent alike. As for my own church in Milandir they simply don't care. No SIR! If anything the Kitan have the right idea. But I don't speak their tongue. "I bet the val Ishi grow up to be snakes... every single one. I bet they hatch from eggs in their mother's womb too... |

As the drunken pirate staggers off to relieve himself, the gnome says to himself "Hmm if the dark moon blows up I don't think he'll have to worry about his "snakes." We'll all have bigger problems to deal with." |

Across the inn Malekith watches the drunken pirate stagger toward the door thinking that as tools go he is definitely not the sharpest one in the shed. He jots down a few notes in his journal then flags down a serving wench for another flagon of ale. |

Bardus returns from the well, and bumps into Malektih...."..You'd best watch that gnome. He's too free with his money..." Returning to the table "...So, here, you seam to want to know about the snakes. Well the Elorri know all about them. From what I hear there are some Elorri that think the dark moon isn't a moon......" drawing near and wispering "Shhh.... don't tell anybody I told you.... but it is an Egg. A egg that will give birth to the destroyer of worlds...." "By the way, this whisky you are serveing is good. But still it isn't as good as mine. Mines got wormwood distrilled right in it. Kicks up the stupor to weight ratio by a bunch....Want to try some?" |

The gnome thinks for a moment before replying, "Thank you but no I think I'll stick with my Tralian whisky. I think that may be your problem good sir it that your stupor to weight ratio is set too high. Making you imagine things...you sure there isn't some mind altering substance in that booze of yours? Wormwood you say? Maybe you should lay off that stuff for a while." He lowers his voice to a whisper. "I'd be careful 'bout what you been saying. There's people out there who want to talk to you about that and they're none too friendly. Matter of fact I'm not sure I want to be seen with you. Think I'll be taking my leave." With that the gnome gets up and hurries out of the tavern. |

Bardus notes in the rush to leave, the gnome forgot to take his bottle. " ...works every time..." He thinks to himself. |

While the drunken pirate stares in confusion at the sudden departure of his drinking companion, Malekith takes advantage of his distraction to slip out the back of the tavern. |
