[ModNote: Continued from The Humble Return.] Ah Wok wheels his Mobile Empurium outside the inn and casts a spell on it making it invisable. "Thats whould stop those theifs fuom stealing Ah Wok's twading bussiness" Ah Wok said to himself as him went into the Inn. Ah Wok orders a Root Beer (Which he said as Loot Beer) and makes his way to a table and sits down thinking to himself what has gone on while he has left.

[ModNote: Continued from School Arrivals.] *Hordriss enters the Wolf's Howl, at first not noticing the oriental trader, he moves up to the landlord.* Landlord! One wonders if one might importune you to provide accomodation for one's most charming neice. *Landlord looks at Hordriss, baffled* A room. Good quality. For a few nights. *Now he understands. Smiling, he takes Hordriss' money and hands over the key* Now, to get this to Meliss... *He turns around and sees Ah Wok sitting at a nearby table* Well, well, here's a familiar face. *He purchases a glass of wine and goes over to sit with Ah Wok* Mr Wok, I wonder if you mind if one sits here? It has been so long since one has seen a competent trader on the side of light. Where have your paths taken you since last you visited this land?

A great deal. Although one is not aware of everything, one had a leave of absence of oneself.
Well, perhaps you have heard of Lord Fear's movement, first to the Black Tower of Goth and then to Marblehead Fortress? This happened quite soon after you left.
Then the dungeon phases became most irregular, and we have not had one for quite some time. As one was not required by Lord Treguard as a Prize-giver, one left his service and travelled extensively with one's daughter.
Perhaps you can imagine one's surprise when one returned for... *remembers that he came back to stop the Bloodfang Blade and decides not to mention it*... personal reasons and found many changes. One had heard of the Boarding School which was recently built and then destroyed of course, ones neice attended it, however, there have been several other developments.
There have been many new arrivals in the area, most from alternative realities, much like the world of the dungeoneers. Indeed there is a young lady here who has travelled from that very world without using the portal at Dunshielm, and so rather worryingly is not protected by the Helmet of Justice.
We have had a number of unfortunate deaths. Skarkill, the goblin master in your time, was murdered by a street trader, and this same despicable character set the Assasin's guild on the Ringmaster, an archmage whos power may even, ahem, approximate one's own.
Even so, this creature did not deserve to die at the hands of the mob, lynched in the town square. His replacement, Mr H.O.Nesty is little better and clearly works for the opposition, so one is most glad that you will be able to give him a little competition.
There has been much other news of course, but most recently the Boarding school has been rebuilt and one's neice has returned to take her place....
[OOC: Sorry if Hordriss didn't consider your character 'news', there's quite a lot to fit in and he wanted to tell Wok only current stuff and news about people he once knew or may be in competition with]
Now, Wok, one wonders if one might purchase a few alchemical ingredients, what do you have for the busy sorcerer?

Well, now let one see... *As he is thinking he takes Meliss' key, and writing a small note and tying it to the key, concentrates on it for a moment* Spellcasting: G-I-F-T *The key fades away* [To reappear with Meliss at the school gates] Now, Wok, one is currently interested in investigating some carvings and need the ingredients for a CLARITY spell: One shall collect the sparkling, clear water oneself, but one would be grateful if you could procure some Desert sand and some Dragon bone powder. In addition one is working on a new protective ward and some root ginger, plus one thinks a little Tincture of the Morning sun might be appropriate. Now, finally one needs some volcanic ash. Perhaps one's use for that should not yet be revealed.... In any case, here is your payment... Spellcasting: W-I-T-H-D-R-A-W *A silver bar appears in Hordriss' hands, he gives it to Wok* So much more convenient than carrying money oneself. Now, sadly, one must be off, if you require extra payment then one will settle up later. Could you possibly give the ingredients to one's neice when she arrives? *Bowing to Wok, Hordriss leaves the Wolf's Howl, setting off for the Dunfalls, to collect some pure water* [OOC: Sorry AW, but needed to be free as I promised Kully I would be for her 'idea'! These ingredients should keep you busy for a while though]

[OOC: Don't worry I don't mind]
Ah Wok gets up, holds his payment in his hands as goes out to his Kart and dispells the invisable spell to make it visable again.
"Ah Wok was clever to cowwect some desewt sand on the way here as well a bone fwom the dead dragon" Ah Wok said to himself as he collected the mentioned ingredients.
"Ah Wok usawlys drinks some Gingew woot with him to make some homewade Gingew ale " He says as he takes some Ginger root from a bag on the side of his kart.
"Ah Wok doesw't have any Tincture of the Mowning sun, but does hawe some wolcawic ash from the tiwe Ah Wok journewed a wolcamo to get ash to help his wother" says Ah Wok
Ah Wok respells the invisable spell on his kart and makes it invisable again and collects the ingredients and heads into the Inn again and waits for Meliss.

[ModNote: Continued from School Arrivals.] *Enters Wolf's Howl Inn and immediately sees Ah Wok's stall (despite it being invisible, she now has the power to see the unseeable). Both Meliss and DG look round for him and spot him at a table. They both go up to it* "Ah, greetings Mr Wok. One has been told by one's uncle - Hordriss - to pick up some herbs he needs. He told one that he'd left the ingredients with you"

*Angrily addresses Nesty*
"Do you mind? Oneself and one's friend here were just leaving...was there any need for such rudeness? Also, you might have not have noticed that there is enough space in this town for both of you to trade. *looks at Nesty with disgust* One thinks one knows who one will be trading with."

*Meliss turns to Julia, who's glaring at Nesty*
"One assumes you know this person somehow? One can see you're not exactly keen on this unsavoury individual"
Julia: You bet I'm not! He bloomin' tricked me into thinking I was meeting Ridolfo, then he kidnapped me and took me to Lord Fear! I hate 'im!
*Meliss stands in front of her new friend and Ah Wok, protecting them. Something starts to crackle between both of Meliss' hands...a power of some kind*
"You shall NOT interfere with either of these good people...but if you DO, then you have me to deal with"
*Eyes turn black*
