: "Zak, do you mind if I take a look at
: your book? I'd like to see what DM's
: exact words were." Tommy leaned over
: the book. "Hmm....interesting. Has
: anyone considered the possibility that
: Diana might be less than reluctant about
: surrendering her kingdom to Venger? Just
: because she's Zaramedes' daughter doesn't
: automatically make her one of the good
: guys. Maybe it's just my paranoid gamer's
: mind looking for conspiracies, but I think
: it's pretty obvious there's something more
: going on here than meets the eye. I know
: it would have given us less time to
: operate in the city, but if we'd travelled
: through the kingdom to get here we'd at
: least have the general populace's take on
: the situation. DM did say we'd have to
: 'discover' something about this situation.
: Perhaps one of Diana's trusted advisors
: is in Venger's pay? We need to learn
: more."
: Tommy paused as Fairalin updated the group on
: the appearance of the approaching
: defenders.
: "This could be just a coincidence, but
: we may be about to meet some of DM's old
: pupils. If this is the case, it seems
: unlikely that they would be party to just
: handing the kingdom over to Venger.
: Unless they know something we don't. Of
: course, they could be normal people acting
: the roles of the 'Young Ones' to pacify
: the populace, or even agents of Venger
: convincing Diana to side with Venger.
: We're hampered by a serious lack of
: intelligence, which can only be remedied
: by talking to people. So let's go up
: there with a white flag of truce and see
: if we can't turn this situation to our
: advantage, neh?"

"Seems to me that Tommy's got the right idea." Starrunner spoke up. "We need more info before we can procede. And instigating them further won't help us achieve that."
