The guard narrows his eyes. "Someone dropped a table on you. After you tried to kill the wizards. You don't remember?". -- Tim Hall, timjh (at) compuserve.com * http://www.kalyr.com "Divide by cucumber error: Please reinstall universe and reboot"

[Kolath] "Dropped a table on me?" the Legionnaire parrots back, "What on Kalyr are you talking about? Was I lying on the floor?" He stands with his hands on his hips, "And I know nothing about any wizards. It's been ages since I've had the misfortune to encounter one. All their incessant mumbling." He tires to sweep the dust and dirt from the vest where he stores his knives, "Well, go on. Find someone to get me out of here."
Kolath finds the knives are missing; hardly surprising - prisoners are not normally permitted to keep their weapons. "That's what they told me", he replies, "There were three of them, something business about interrogating some prisoner. They tell me you went berserk. One of the wizards used her powers to throw the table with her mind. She was a human too; di'n think they could do it!". "It's a pity, after the battle we're short of men - we could do with good commanders like you. You sure you can't remember anything? Perhaps a wizard wiped your head clean; they can do that, you know. What's the last thing you remember?". -- Tim Hall, timjh (at) compuserve.com * http://www.kalyr.com "Divide by cucumber error: Please reinstall universe and reboot"
[Kolath] Kolath cocks his head to one side and ponders for a while, "Last night. I was on the far side of the river, the Humans. I was supposed to meet someone, but who in the world would be over there?" He takes a couple steps backwards until the edge of the bed touches his legs. By reflex he sits down, "A wizard? Yes, maybe. Yes, you must be right. That's why I can't remember anything." He looks up at the guard, "A Human wizard you say. A woman? So I must have been interrogating her when she surprised me with her powers." He looks about, "So why am I here?"
