[color:"#a0a0ff"] the bartender looked back at me Luc and Dragh as if a bomb had just gone off outside. He led us downstairs to an apparently secret room and spoke. "You all best be careful asking about the person who put this warrant out. Im not stupid I recognized you as soon as you walked in the door." He held up his own copy of the bounty notice. Instinctively our hands all went to our weapons. "That wont be necessary" he said drawing a rune in the air. Suddenly my weapon was too hot for me to touch, and it seemed the same had happened to my friends. "Dont worry" the old man said. "I harbor no love for the man that is wanting you dead. He is the ruler of this and many villages. Many love him for it is because of him that we have the magical abilities, but some of us know better. He is evil, he is chaos on earth. He has no desire but to use the people of this town as pawns to his own end." We all looked blankly at the old man. "We will not allow this" I said firmly to the old man..."these people may want us dead but we will protect them from themselves. Have you any advice for us....where this man is or where we can find more information?" The old man looked at me and said quietly "outside of town, to the north there is an old abandoned mage tower, our ruler used to study there before he went crazy and murdered all the others....it has been abandoned ever since."
