[Taocow PBEM] Chapter V: A Stranger And His Knowledge (fwd)

[D McCullough]

[Arden]
He nods to Phaeton. With a very wary glance about the entire room, he 
reaches into a pouch and pulls out a well made key ((not sure on exactly 
what it looks like... you need to ask High Lord GM about it.)). "I believe 
your Lady Goddess gave this to me to help aid our quest, Phaeton." He 
himself looks pale, shaking ever so slightly. Bottled up rager, or fear, you 
can't really tell.
