>> [Mrrlyn]
>> Mrrlyn grunts, and then moves over to Ted. He takes a monacle out of
>> his pocket and begins looking the lizard man over. He lingers for some
>> time over the lizard man's eyes, as if locked by them.
>>
>> Seemingly weakened by his probing, Mrrlyn stumbles back. "Ahhh, too
>> much effort." he sighs. "Whatever afflicted your companion, it has him
>> no longer. He is mentally and physically strained and will need rest.
>> I will take this armor and this weapon and I will examine them
>> further, when I too have rested."
>> [/Mrrlyn]

>> [The King]
>> "That being the case," the king says, looking upon Mrrlyn with some
>> concern, "let us retire to my chambers. I was to hold a late feast,
>> but alas, I do not think that would be wise. Will all of you join me?
>> I'm sure your friend Ted could use some refreshment?"
>> [/The King]

> [Oz]

> [Alex]
> The ex-Coalition Ranger is going to continue waiting and watching.

> [Vesper]
> Vesper watches Mrrlyns magical workings with some curiousity.

[The King]
The King looks to Ted. "If you are able to join us, you are welcome
to, otherwise my guards will take you to your quarters to rest."

The King then turns to the others. "The palace and the city will be
searched high and low for her." he says. "But if you would like to
help, you certainly have my permission. Perhaps we can meet tomorrow
morning. I owe you all that much. Sir Prrcyvel will help you look for
Lady Louissa."

With that the King and his guards turn and leave the dungeon.
[/The King]

[Sir Prrcyvel]
"Well Osmar, old chap, it looks like no banquet tonight!" he laughs,
as he leads the company out of the dungeon. "Where would you like to
start? In the room she and your brain-controlled friend were sitting
in up until the attack?"
[/Sir Prrcyvel]
